I do have a question, and it probably can't be answered by any one person.  What is MOC's position about training with a firearm before exercising the right to openly carry.  As much as I like a law abiding citizen openly displaying their capability to perform deadly force if required, I don't like the fact that most people don't know how to properly execute that force in a manner consistent with the law, and in turn putting themselves in a heap of trouble and casting a bad light on all gun owners.

I will not speak on the behalf of MOC.inc, but I feel safe in saying that as a law abiding responsible gun owner, we all recommend and suggest regular training and refreshing that includes more than just range time.  However, let me qualify that I don't think it should be required.  The Constitution of the United State as well as Michigan's Constitution make it perfectly clear that this God given right shall not be infringed upon.  I see requiring training as nothing less than an infringement.  Again, with that being said, more training and education is highly, highly recommended here and pretty much anywhere you find responsible law abiding gun owners.
