don't worry, i don't feel like we're having an argument, just a civil discussion.

these were the statements i was referring to.  IMO there is nothing "cute" about exercising ones rights.  my rights are not subject to the emotional responses they may cause in someone else.  i love when people use this one, so i'm going to ask it.  was rosa parks "cute" when she sat in the front of the bus?  or was she simply exercising a preexisting right?

smellslikemichigan, you really couldn't be more wrong about JEFulton.  I know him, his wife, and his brother and they are a driving force for the rights of gun owners in the Battle Creek & Marshall area.  They have tremendous contact and influence with the gun owners in this area and it would behoove MOC to have the Fultons as allies.

It would appear that he chose his words carefully... On both sides of the discussion.

It takes a bit of skill to be able to talk out of both sides of your mouth.

Gentlemen might I remind you that we are not always going to agree on every detail in this fight. However that does not mean we need to attack a brother who has a proven track record such as JEFulton.

You are so right autosurgeon. Except that JEFulton just doesn't even seem to agree with himself:

A couple of weeks ago someone got cute about their right to carry open and openly carried a shotgun into the Lansing Public Library.  Now a bill has been introduced into the Michigan Senate to add to the list of "Pistol Free Zones", public libraries.  All of this while we have bills in both houses of the Michigan legislature.  Now because of this incident, those bills have stalled.  My admonishion is this: Remember that you do not live in an insulated bubble and your actions have repercussions both negative and positive.

Is the Lansing PD still refusing to issue this young gentlman his purchase permit?  If so, have him contact me (Joel Fulton)...

Hi Pat,

I get your issue here, but taking things in context is always a good thing. He offered to help after the situation was fully explained to him. I know you dislike Lil_freak & that's your right, but he did nothing illegal that I know of so far in this event. So far the only people breaking the law are the: LPD, CADL & The Judge in this case. Go figure aye? I also know how much you love poking sticks in peoples eyes on the board, hey if that makes you smile, I say have at it Sir ;) I know you are a true supporter of our 2A rights & that's all that matters to me!

Carry on openly/concealed or whatever in between... :P

Glock9mmOldStyle, you are correct that there are no penalties in the law for agencies who arbitraily deny someone a permit to purchase a handgun.  That is where the aAttorney General's Office comes in.  The Michigan AG has the ability, on behalf of the citizen, to sue the agency for failing to comply with the law.  It is a fairly large club and the mere threat of the suit is often more than enough to bring the agency into compliance.  It was used quite effectively here in Battle Creek several years ago when they were illegally charging $20 for purchase permits.  They are now free thanks to the Michigan AG (Mike Cox at the time)!!
Yes,their new boss can force them to abide by the law!

Q, I don't know who is either...mainly because I am not from that area.   But, several people in MOC seem to know who is.   Once understanding this bit of information (that a few folks here know him and know about him), his opening post baffled me even further. 

His post came across as if he didnt' know anyone associated with MOC, and set the tone for thread.

Joel is the owner of the gun shop where we met for the Battle Creek OC walk, IIRC.

Joel is a very passionate and staunch supporter of the 2A.  He spoke at the 2A March rally in Lansing last year and attended the rally in D.C.  He donated his time and money to the March.  He is very politically involved in gun right issues.

Wait, correct me if I'm wrong...

Isn't the legal age to purchase a pistol 21? You can own one as early as 18 (in other words, register it) but it has to have been given to you as a gift because  you must be 21 to purchase one yourself.

Or am I totally messed up?

you're almost right.  however, it is legal to purchase a pistol under 21, just not from an FFL.  you have to do it from a private individual.

Ah, okay. But then, do you still need a purchase permit if you're buying from an individual?

(I'm studying up to get my FFL... lol.)
