The Detroit Fireworks was a good day for OC in Detroit, parked my vehicle in the Clifford & Elizabeth area walked toward Campus Martius, arrived at the coney island at michigan ave & griswald @ 6:45p had a bite to eat, 6 LEO's alsoin the resturant not even concerned with my OC. Telephoned the Reg. Coordinator & Dep. for a meeting status update then proceeded on foot thruCampus Martius, Cadillac square then to the rendezous point, left the rendezous point at 7:46p, ran into a couple neighbor kidsfrom ten yrs. past who are now adult men that were interested about my OC and wasnt it against the law to OC w/ccw, I shared some knowledge & TriFolds with them.
Continued my mini tour of downtown Detroit by way of Beaubein St. to Jefferson, down thur Hart Plaza then to Cobo Hall, back down the opposite side of Jefferson in front of Coleman Young Building & past the line of motorcycle LEO's boardering the north side of thejefferson median from woodward to Randolph. In search of more OC'ers was hoping I might to run into Cmdr_iceman during my walk. I traveled Congress St., Woodward, while on Monroe was pasted by the WCS paraded Mounted Division, E. Laffayette, Bates, while on Larned St.was pasted by DPD mounted Division& Fort St. the LEO's were on every corner as expected &patroling the streets in duplcate. then I settled in at Woodward & Larned St. just under the Spirit of Detroit statue in the midst of about nine LEO's about 9:20p for the Fireworks, about 9:30p a couple with four small children in strollersinquired rather it would be ok if they could settle in nextto me, noticing my firearm they didnt seemed concerned, after settling in the husband asked if I was a LEO, I responded to the negative.
After the fireworks was approached by a young woman at Larned & Randolph who stated that she couldnt wait to get her some acc. when she got old enough, I ask her what did she mean? she motioned to her hip, I asked her how old she was? she answered 20, I gave her a few minutes of enlightenment a card & tri-fold, she said she would visit the website and PM me. after that just sort of hungout until I exited the Downtown area about 12:36am.
all in all it was a very un-eventful day, no noticable second looks, smart remarks, challedges or concerns with LEO's, yes today was a good day in Downtown Detroit for OC.
