I've been active on the MGO forums for almost a year so I am familiar with a few names here already, but I decided to register here since I will be at the MOC Kalamazoo dinner tonight. I'm a CPL holder, but I almost only choose to open carry my pistol for comfort, accessibility, and crime deterrent. I believe criminals choose helpless victims, and the mere presence of an openly carried pistol will cause one to look elsewhere. My better half and I shoot together as frequently as possible, and she also plans on pursuing her CPL when the time is right. She open carries with me when she can.
Lastly, thank you MOC for all of the work you are doing, particularly the current fiasco in Lansing, on behalf of law-abiding carriers in our state!
