Michigan Open Carry is participating in a 2nd Amendment March in Lansing on March 20th from 10 AM to 2 PM. Here are some of the details:

Tentative Schedule:
9:30 a.m. - sidewalk procession from the corner of Michigan and Pennsylvania
to the Capitol
10 a.m. to 11 a.m. - people will meet with their state representatives.
11 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. - Musical entertainment and pro-gun speakers will take the
stage from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m.

You can get more information at www.secondamendmentmarch.com and on our Facebook page. Also here is a flyer that can be downloaded and printed to be placed at businesses, community boards, etc.

We are looking for some volunteers who would like to man the MOC table at the upcoming rally, this would include helping with set up/ clean up and tear down. We need about 6 total volunteers, Adam Yancer will be overseeing the table at the event so any volunteers would be working along side him. You will probably need to show up about 8:30am to help with the set up and to make sure everything is in order, please only volunteer if you can seriously commit and will be there at the requested time. If you would like to volunteer email Adam at ayancer@miopencarry.org or reply in this thread.

Adam, I would be willing to help out with this. My only issue is that I broke my ankle and won't know until Tuesday whether surgery is required. I guess I can't say for sure till Tuesday.
But count me in for now.

I plan on being there and I can provide rides for up to 4 additional persons. I have a suburban with a 3rd seat. Anyone interested in riding along please email me at sbeahan@michiganopencarry.org. We can meet at the park & ride lot at the corner of 60th Street and the East Beltline.

Hoping to make it, not sure yet. Anyone carrying long guns? I don't have my OC carry holster, so i would prolly CC my side arm.

I would like to help with the late shift. I am pretty handy at carrying things. I will show up at the table before 2. Might be at the MOC table all day but I know I can help take down and clean up. As long as people are cleaner than the union workers.

We should make that (to keep the Capitol clean) a point. Tell anybody you see throwing trash on the ground that we want to be remembered differently than the last protest. We don't want to give the anti's anything to b***h about.

Our mere presence alone will do that

I really wish I could go but with my wife's health I am unable to go.
Now when you talk to our state and district representatives you need to have them do something on how long it takes for our local government to process CPL license. With all the applications recently there will most likely be a big backup. P purchased my gun and did paperwork and FBI check and I was out the door on 45 minutes.
Why dose it have to take months just to process them, Don't they have computers. If I worked like that my boss would have replaced me with someone that is more efficient. We voted them in and now its time to do something for a lot of the people that voted them in. Election time is coming up.
Get them to speed things up a lot.
All these future CPL owners need help not months of waiting.
this needs to be done soon as summer is coming.
Please help us.

Well Monroe County, which used to be very quick in issuance of CPL's is now claiming a 6 month backlog, but that is in part due to them only reviewing 100 applications once a month. If they are that backlogged maybe they should hold the gun board more than once a month.

This is totally uncalled for snd no excuse for it. This is absolutely why all of you that are going to Lansing need to make a big deal about this to our state repesentavive for the rest of and future ones. help us.
Maybe they need to hire some 5 graders.
