Unlikely, since I have personal knowledge he lives in the Lansing area.

This is not a serious question. Is it?

Edit to add:

Just in case it is a serious question, the answer is NO!!!

Whoops!   I blew it..  Yeah, I meant OC w/o CPL on my bicycle.  Haha..  hooters is about a 1 min bike ride from my house...   

Sorry for the confusion.    Thanks for the answers.  Why can you not OC on your bicycle?  (curious)

Since this is a "non MOC" function, does this mean I can bring my bazooka?    (kidding of course)

Because your operating a vehicle. Basically the law says you can't operate a vehicle without it being considered concealed. The definition of a vehicle basically is a mode of transportion thats faster then walking therefore a bicycle even if powered by you is still a vehicle. Its a gray area I OCed well on a bicycle without knowing about this I no longer do.

NO! If they have a License to sell booze no carry without a CPL period! Once you have a CPL then you need to worry about the income source clause if they make the majority of their money from booze then the only way to legally carry their would be = w/CPL & OC only.  ::) Also be advised that the President of MOC has posted that HOOTERS Corp. sent a letter to all MI. locations stating that firearms are not allowed in their stores OC/CC doesn't matter - you risk going to jail for carrying in there. WARNING, WARNING, WARNING!!!

Hmmm.

First, I did not receive any letter from Hooters specifically stating that I could not be in possession of a firearm in any of their locations. So until I am informed otherwise, your warning serve no purpose to me.

Secondly, if it is in fact the policy of the business to bar lawfully armed patrons, what is the purpose of a meet and greet being held there?
This is the Michigan Open Carry forum. And of course, even though it is not an official MOC event, it most certainly will be view as such.

Thirdly, hasn't it been proposed that we vote with our wallets and our feet?

Dear Mr. Horner,

Thank you for your e mail concerning your experience in our Kalamazoo Michigan location. As for our policy concerning firearms in Hooters locations we do not have one. It is our practice to follow the laws in the respective states we do business in. Towards that end our managers are instructed that should questions arise about an armed guest they should have the local law enforcement authorities make the determination if a guest is in compliance. It is my understanding that is what happened in your case. The situation of guest entering our locations armed is something that happens so rarely it is not practical to train managers in how to deal with it. I have worked for Hooters for 20 years and been to our units all over the world and I have never felt my safety required carrying a weapon.

Again thanks for your communication and hopefully I answered your question.

According to this post they are to follow state law.

I think you guys are misunderstanding. All I am saying is that if you are in the lansing area on wednesday night and want to stop by, thats great. You don't have to be armed if you don't want to. If you come armed, great, that's your choice and no one elses. We are not discussing the legality of carrying firearms at Hooters and that isn't why I posted this anyway. It has been posted by someone before that Hooters of Lansing has no problem with people carrying at their location. If you want to, do it, if you don't want to, don't. But please do not tell other people what they can and cannot do. I was hoping that this was to be a friendly get together. Lets keep it that way.

Can any of you read? Apparently only selectively? Pat do whatever you want..as always; the rest of you if you ask a question, then you don't like the answer, .....my information is based off the latest know communications from their HQ office to our President Mr. Webb, if they've changed their minds since then great, but I doubt it. Also are you willing to risk your freedom & thousands of dollars in legal fees just to see some TA TA's come on!

I DO NOT patronize any dump that tries to squash my freedoms period! Hot girls or not!
