Michigan Open Carry Demonstration - Romulus - 4/27/14

[Glock9mmOldStyle]

Anyone know whether or not the Romulus Historical Museum is ran by the city? I am thinking of checking it out while I am there.

See link it has a contact #. It's not clear as to who actually is responsible/funds/owns. A call may clear it up.

Called the city clerk and the museum is ran by a city appointed commission.

Anyone interested in a museum trip after the demonstration?

thanks, 2 & 3 year old girls and a wife that works as a nurse on 12 hour shifts makes it hard to make it to events a lot of the time, but I plan to be there with you in romulus. Haven't made an event since working the last cabelas weekend, I'm slacking


Edit- looks like I may be able to bring the kids and wife along, do you think I would be able to pull a wagon on the planned route?

Wagon will be fine, except for the occasional curbs at intersections. I personally walked the route before seeking the permit to ascertain access, distance and environment.

Thanks for setting this up Pat. I would still like to know if the permit specifies a route?

Jackie Martin is a contact at the The News-Herald Newspapers, she is a reporter and I reached out to her and she would definately like to speak to someone about the Michigan Open Carry March April 27.  I emailed Q Tom and Brian Jeffs about it to see how we should handle. Just hope they give some GOOD press not like Fox2 when I OC'd in my daughters school they really twisted the story and made me look really bad by saying people were outraged... That was a complete lie. People actually thanks me for carrying and not one single mother or family member was concerned period...

Wait, PAT why do we need a permit? Is this done just to be cordial?

That news media monitors the happenings of city council meetings, such as the case here. It is a great way to get exposure through the media.

My Girlfriend and I are going to try and make it this Sunday!  We just need to make arrangements for a sitter for some or all of the kids. This will be our first ever walk in an OC event. Really hoping we both learn a lot about OC and meet some great people!  Unfortunately only one of us will be OCing due to us only having 1 pistol at the time being.

Bring the kids. We want to show that we are ordinary people. I just got off the phone with a good friend that is bringing her 2 girls. And Detroit_fan is planning on pulling his wagon full of kids too.

Bring your friends. This is a very important event. The people of Romulus need to know that some of their officers continue to violate the civil rights of the citizens they're supposed to be serving.

The City of Romulus required a "No fee permit" for the demonstration. MOC has conducted demonstrations in other municipalities that required permits. I don't see any issue with complying. As The Q noted, the meeting was broadcast in real time and my attendance was noted on forums before I even got home that evening.

Thanks for the media contact.

I am hoping to be able to go

As Pat said, bring the kids. My wife and I are bringing our 2 & 4 year old girls and pulling them in a wagon. Great way to start them on the path to being Rights Activists

I'm from Holland and I need a navigator. If someone who knows the way and wants a free ride let me know. I could get lost in my own back yard.
