Quite possibly. We have a number of events around west MI; luncheons, dinners, picnics, seminars. Many are suggested & organized by members, so feel free.

Its simple- suggest a restaurant, date & time, and post it as a new thread on this forum. You may want to cross post it on http://OpenCarry.org in the Michigan forum and http://www.migunowners.org in the Open Carry forum.

Only recommendations- select a restaurant you know to be OC friendly (feel free to ask for suggestions) that does not have a liquor license, and a date & time sufficiently far off to let everyone get it on their calendars.

Is there a way to post events on OCDO and MGO with a link to the thread on MOC then sticky the thread and lock it so people will have to come to MOC to discuss the event here?

The link should drive traffic, and I think anyone who's never heard of MOC would likely register, as well. I'm reluctant to lock it, though.

I'll be happy to stickie them on OCDO.
