Michigan Open Carry Inc. will need donations to pay for our legal defense of the temporary restraining order issued against us and our members(see other thread for details). Per legal counsel, a separate legal fund should not be created. All donations to MOC for this endeavor are much appreciated. A selfless MOC member has made a generous offer of $1000 in matching funds for the first $1000 donated. MOC has a PayPal page/account set up for electronic/credit card donations. There is a line which asks for "Purpose", please indicate "Legal Defense" and we will purpose those funds directly towards that end. Checks can also be sent to our PO box, please write "Legal Defense" in the notes section. Thank you in advance for your support.

Anything I post may be my opinion and not the law... you are responsible to do your own verification.

Blackstone (1753-1765) maintains that "the law holds that it is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer."

I'm pretty tapped right now.

I've got a couple of things that I'm selling. As soon as something sells, I'll jump in.

But my question is, how long do I have to wait after making a donation before I can initiate a chargeback?  DOOH!!!

It's funny how things work. Someone that had interest in something I was selling saw the post I just made moments ago. He just called. We are completing the deal tomorrow so that I can jump in. Problem is that once again all my money is tied up in currency. So I guess we'll have to have coneys. LOL Scot, you buying again?

You bring the loot, I'll provide the coneys! Then again, we wouldn't want the appearance of quid pro quo, so you bring the loot AND buy the coneys this time! HA!

I was at the local toy store today, shopping for a new Airsoft for open carrying, and I ran into sprinklerguy.

He strong-armed me into making a donation.

No dinner for me tonight.

And he made me give it to him in cash so I couldn't do a chargeback.

And just so scot623 knows, I gave him $1000.00. So don't let him fool you.

"It is now more likely that a person will be the victim of a violent crime than that he will be in an auto accident. Despite this, most people readily believe that the existence of the police relieves them of the responsibility to take full measures to protect themselves."
