Welcome 22-250. It brings joy to the hearts of everyone here when a new patriot joins in and exercises and protects their rights. As said, the life of an OC'er is certainly made less complicated by the possession of a cpl. The simple fact of not having to disassemble your rig every time you enter a vehicle or other victim zone itself is indeed a safety concern.
As for helping out, again as mentioned, the best thing to do is to share the information. Last year, Michigan Open Carry, Inc. was formed from contributors within this forum to go even further. While the need to spread information and educate is MOC's primary focus, they also have the ability to speak to legislation with the authority of over 100 taxpayers behind every phone call or letter. I would certainly encourage you to have a look at their website at
http://www.michiganopencarry.org and consider adding your voice to the collective effort.
I did, and yes going to wait for CPL just to avoid the other issues , don't want to CC by mistake..
