Hello, here are my two cents. First of all I have been involved with the Michigan Militia for 10 years now I am on the staff of SMVM. All previous Militia Field days (formerly called Tax Blast) as well as the 120+ training sessions since I have been involved. HAVE ALWAYS BEEN OPEN CARRY (both sidearms and rifles/shotguns)it was never announced because it JUST was. Currently we are training at a State Park and the most important thing is to continue to train. But also be seen as reasonable and professional and continue to train willing and sensible people.
We are not engaged in fighting for your rights we are not marching in a military sense on Lansing or Washington DC. We are training the average citizen to be better able to protect themselves and their families from crime, invasion, terrorism and tyranny. Everyone can not be high speed low drag American Jedi's but everyone can come and learn something. Nearly everyone can take a first aid or first responder class, get a pistol open carry, get a cpl, buy a rifle/shot gun, get a ham radio license, buy and store food water ammunition and medical supplies, attend a Militia meeting or picnic. Ok lets end the commercial here.
Just one last thing to imply that active Militia people are anti 2a or anti-any part of the Bill of Rights is intellectually vapid. Try being Militia all day everyday tell your boss your pastor all your family and neighbors. Be interviewed, video tapped, have a couple of chats with the FBI & DHS then try and tell me I'm anti 2nd Amendment.
There you go a lot of value for your money all that for 2 cents
