--- Quote from: ocdetroit on November 09, 2010, 11:26:20 PM ---First I would like to say welcome. And the MSP update is about all u need. I went to a town meeting just a few days ago. An all the top people were there in Southwest Detroit a my all High School Western High. I mean all of the top brass. The U.S Attorney General her self Barb Mc. Detroit top cop, ATF, State boys, border , customs , probation, U.S. Marshal, and Dearborn top cop. all there talking about how well first they told what each dept. do and how they are working together to stop B& E's and gangs from doing what they do. During the meeting i had a chance to ask a Q&A on a card. and i ask for The DPD, The State Police , Wayne  County Sheriff , and the Dearborn police to answer this question, are your people being trained on the legality of Open Carry. They all response one after another yes. The State police also mentioned about the UPdate. After the meeting I had a talk with the chief of police of Detroit,  told him i was the one who asked about open carry, and that i have been stopped by his people three or four times and i live on the south side of Detroit. And his officers handled themselves very professional. The Chief said thanks. Then i stopped the Chief of police of Dearborn. Stated the same thing to him. He said may i ask you a question, i said am i being detained? I laughed he did not just look at me hard like. Then i said yes he said what do i think about open carrying around children. I told him it should start at home, if a child sees me open carrying and says look that man has a gun. I feel the parent or parents should say oh he may be a leo, or he is a law abiding citizen, or he is what we have been hearing about called Open Carry. It's legal here in Michigan, mommie and daddy can do it also if they want. You should have seen his face. He said thanks and walked away.  Then i had a little talk with the State police and we talked about open carry and i thanked him for working with our people  here in open carry to make it easyer for law enforcement to understand what we a trying to do.

All these people that bring up kids all the time, it continues to amaze me as to why they think we should not carry to protect them. Yet they do not think that leo's should disarm around kids.

ocdetroit:
True that. Carry On.

hamaneggs:
Welcome fellow informed citizen.Knowing OC facts will give you comfort in your lawfull carry and you'll be able to answer your fellow citizens when they come up to you,and they will,and you will feel pride in educating them of their God Given rights(what I call the instinct to protect ones self and others).You may or may not be approached by a LEO,but remember ,the ones with an attitude will probably reject any info presented to them.The understanding ones,who are the best of the profession,may.God Bless and CARRY ON! Jeff. P.S. I print out several trifolds on my printer,fold em up and hand em out to anyone who questions me,sometimes I just give em away like handing out leaflets.
