New From Wayne
« on: May 30, 2013, 02:18:55 PM »
Hi all! Just a quick intro from a new member, I live in Wayne and am a relatively new *real* firearm owner/carrier. I met a few of you at the IHOP brunch in Downriver last month, and signed my wife and I both up for membership. We are both CPL holders and have been doing as much research into the legal aspects of carrying as possible. We're both looking forward to attending as many outings as our schedules allow, and getting to know you all better! :-)

Before I close this, I was wondering if there is a list of known C/C O/C businesses in this forum somewhere? I did a couple of searches and didn't see any dedicated threads or stickies for it.

Thanks!

Here in Monroe County, Dena's Family Restaurant in Monroe is OC friendly. They've had lunches there. Also Walmart's corporate policy is to follow state law's on carrying. They sell alcohol but you have a CPL. The one in Monroe doesn't care, we've carried there before. BTW, welcome from Erie.. :)

Welcome from Holland, home of Tulip Time.   :'(

Go to http://www.mcrgo.org/mcrgo/d_no_gun_signs.asp for a list of OC/CC unfriendly stores as well as business cards you can print out and leave at unfriendly stores to let them know they will not be getting your business.
Example of both sides of the car shown below.

Gun control zealots believe that persons who would commit violent crimes would never violate a gun law.

Welcome from Waterford.
When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are in peace. Luke 11:21

Then He said to them, “But now, he who has a money bag, let him take it, and likewise a knapsack; and he who has no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one."  Luke 22:36
