That is why I contend asking permission is not a good idea... I have gone back and forth on this but have settled on the fact that asking permission to do something perfectly legal is just foolish and tends to lead to being told no out of hand without them ever getting to see what a non issue it really is!

1.I talk to the guy all the time so it was in polite conversation.
2.He was not aware oc was legal gave hem a trifold and sent hem here said he would check it out.
3.If he calls SGPD and they say it is not legal then they need a lot more training to get them up to speed.
4.privet property rules win just saying.

Yes private property rules are king. However why ask permission to do something that is perfectly legal? I have come to the conclusion that just showing up OCing and being ready to answer questions if they are asked is the better way to go.

That way they get to see that none of there other customers freak out and that you are the same nice normal person you always have been. And that the only diff is a gun on your hip.

And if they ask you to leave ... just leave it is that simple.

While this guy is doing his "research", I hope you have scheduled it somewhere else, preferably just down the street from him. That way, when he calls back, no matter what his decision, you can tell him while he was doing his "research", his competitornext doorgot the group's business this time around. But leave the door open for him if he says OC is welcome.

It really sucks when you're a business owner and your competitors get your customers due to your own ignorance. It will really drive the lesson home for this guy, if he's smart, and future OC group requests will be met with an IMMEDIATE welcome.

Most Michigan knife laws that I'm aware of contain the "intent" proviso. I believe that is something that must be proven in court. And oh yeah, don't talk to the police.

Carry on
