Positive encounter at Meijer

[Grizz]

Was with my girlfriend getting groceries today.  We noticed that I seemed to be getting more looks and attention from the staff than usual...  perhaps due to the tragic Colorado shooting earlier in the day.  About halfway through the store, I was approached by a male employee who asked if I was a cop...  to which I replied "nope, I'm just openly carrying."  After a moment, he nodded his head and said that he had heard about some local meetings involving open carry and was interested in learning more.  I asked him if it was michiganopencarry that he was referring to, but he didn't seem sure (I'm pretty sure it was).  I urged him to obtain his CPL and to check out and learn as much as he could from michiganopencarry as he could.  We conversed a bit about what I was carrying and how I liked it (Glock 30).  We then briefly spoke about the Colorado shooting and then parted ways.

I like to carry a couple copies of the MI Open carry brochure, along with my firearm.  It is available at http://miopencarry.org/moc_files/brochure.pdf.  With a little work you can get it printed on a normal piece of paper and fold it up like a brochure.  Fold it in half again, carry a few in your back pocket and spread the word!

That thought crossed my mind right after we parted ways.  Perhaps next time I will be better prepared...

Q-

I would love to meet up sometime.  I work out of town and usually get home pretty late so a weekend would be much better for me.  What is your schedule like?

Weekdays after 5:30 or weekends.  Weekends are spotty as I'm often doing some MOC thing or out of town with family.  But propose a date....PM me if you'd like.
