Open Carry Movie night for CPL holders.

For everyone: Open Carry indoor driving range and mini-golf. They have an awesome place somewhere around Novi area I'll call my dad and find out which one and where if there is interest.

Open carry game night - board games, Wii, play station, Xbox, PC games, pool.

I'd also be up for open carry pool night but that usually would require a CPL in most places.

Anyone catch this one? :p

What about if we change the Game a Little bit? Drill out a Hole in the Ice, Stand over it with a Gun in Hand, and POP, POP. Hopefully the Fish would float to the hole.

You're joking right???? In Michigan, it's illegal to catch fish with your bare hands so I can't imagine what would happen if you were caughtshooting them. :)

I want to see something with maximum 'political ground' grabbing capability...

Lunch is fine but lets, say, invite some police chiefs and city attorneys from problem areas... that sort of thing. sort of an 'educational picnic'... all LEOs with questions or uncertainties about Open Carry and preemption welcome and, in fact, invited. Perhaps we could do something similar with legislators.

Luncheons and bowling are good for desensitizing the public, which is important, but the legal ground would be more valuable methinks...

Been tried, but you can only lead a horse to water, you can't make them attend a lunch without a court order.:D

Perhaps if we invite them 'and' a news crew, and make sure they know it, they will show up...

and if they don't, well, the news crew would be happy to report that too :lol:

Getting the media to cover it is harder than getting the LEOs to come.
