minimum age?
« on: July 05, 2013, 09:49:44 PM »
hey everyone. this is my first post, but i do plan on sticking around. I am 18 and got my first pistol back in november. i have started to see a lot of people open carry, and got curious if i am legally allowed to carry. i have done some research and from what i can tell the minimum age is 18. i just want to confirm this with people that know this topic more than i do. thank you every one in advance.

Hoot, yes you can open carry--subject to law.  There are a number of places you cannot carry if you do not have a CPL.  So, please read the thread bigt pointed you to.  It will keep you out of trouble.

Nearest we usually come to you is Novi or Flint. We usually hold them at Gander Mountain.

We can hold one at Lake Orion, if you can find us a venue to host us (up to 30 ppl) for free. If you find such a venue, email seregion@miopencarry.org.

The seminars held at Gander Mountain in Utica would be closer than Novi.
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
