Greatings from Downriver
« on: July 04, 2012, 10:21:13 PM »
New to the forums been carrying for a while.  12 year U.S. Army vet. I spent 8 years as a Ranger Hooah.

Yeah usually down here we down have issues with it. L.E.O.'s know about it and it don't bother them. One time I got stopped it was to ask what kind of holster I was using. Sat with the cop for a while we talked about ballistics of the .357 sig  vs 9mm and .40 S&W he was surprised when I told him how it handed for such of hot cartridge.

Welcome,
Many of the downriver communities have already been schooled, Taylor can still be an issue sometimes but most of the others are good to go these days.

If you would like to attend a group dinner, our area coordinator has one planned later this month in Taylor.

It is on the south side of Van Born, between Monroe and Telegraph.

I'll see what I got going on but more than likely I'll be able to attend.

This is the first I've read about this event here on the MOC forum. More people from MOC would probably show up it it wasn't a secret.

Typically, we depend on the local coordinator to post it in the events section.  If they don't have moderator privileges on the sub-forum they can hit "report" and ask that their post be stickied.  Hopefully our local coordinator can post it soon.

Maybe he needs an assistant deputy to help with the workload.

Welcome from Okemos!  I have a 229 and it's probably the only pistol of mine I haven't carried.  :)
