Well, i didn't get any bites for the Bikes on the bricks festival from our organization, so is anyone interested/going to the Plymouth chili cookoff/motorcycle show on Oct. 10th, a Sunday?
-

-
Good to hear! I'm planning on the motorcycle ride which starts in Farmington at Motorcity Harley on that Sunday and ends up at the Plymouth festival. It's ten dollars to ride with them. You might want to consider that idea.
-

This place seems VERY ANTI-OC?

I think if I come I'll OC Dual shotguns, & a mini-30, A sub2k, a couple of K98's, & a Marlin60 to top it off.
(Just kidding..settle down).
:P
They really went out of their way to prohibit Long Guns in their city code. I think down the road, in the future we should challenge this.
-
Looks like more people not doing homework and trying to get their way without anyone speaking up about it. I should be attending the chili event
-
seems like they are almost within the law, they make a provision for those with CPL's but they do ban OC, and only parts of the long gun ban would be enforceable.

Talk about putting a foot in their mouth from how I understand the wording in green states they cannot enforce this due to preemptioin which is the case anyways. Love that tax payer money is put into making laws they cannot enforce
-
your right em805 yes, they should change there ordanance. since they make a provision for CPL's. lets not forget that pontiac still refuses to change there ordanances also.
-
With all the ordinances they have, it seems to me they're trying to become a city-state, and split away from Michigan. :)

And Thats Real Sad :-\ Carry On

Myself, my son and Mr. Glock made an appearance at the chili cookoff. We hadn't left the parking lot (found a free one) and some yahoo old guy in a passing car said "nice job moron" at first it didn't register then I thought he was referring to my parking but I realized he had entered after I had parked. So I smiled at him real big and winked. I was tempted to finger gun him but I refraigned. The cook off was other wise uneventful. The chili tasting area was too crowded. The chatzkis were over priced. But my son had a blast so it was well worth it.

well myself and glock9mm went to this event. imo it was more of a motorcycle event than a chili cook off. there were several streets absolutely filled with motorcycles, row upon row of them. i actually had to ask a biker where the chili cook off was, at firts his reply was what you can't see it??? i said no, i haven't found it yet, is it actually going on today or did i miss it? he then said you really don't know, i said no i sure don't. the he said its right behind you.
i turned around and down the street there was a sign yellow sign with black lettering, it was way to far to read it, he pointed and said that were it is. i asked if this was a motorcycle event and he said it was a chili cook off that happened to have a motorcycle event also.
the chili cook off, was under a roofed open air building. they had a system that you paid for tickets to be able to get tiny cups of chili like the kind of tiny cups you get at a supermarket when the are doing those food tasting stands. 1$ equaled 1 tiny cup. it wasn't even a full tiny cup, judgeing by what i saw people carring around. way to expensive for me.
there was a live band, that was pretty good and there were a lot of custom bikes, which was really cool to look at. there was plenty of law enforcement there, sheriffs and plymouth police, a lady flagged down 2 plymouth cops and was pointing at us and talking to the police, they pointed right at us and talked to the lady for a short while and walked away. they had walked by us a few times very obviously noticing our sidearms but notstopping or interacting with us at all. which is what i want to tell the truth i don't even mind if they do stop me and have a conversation. if they want to say hello, how are ya, i am ok with that so long as they aren't rude or trying to force my cooperation then its fine with me. so it was an uneventful event, it was fun to see all the bikes and they have a really nice downtown area and i will probably go back with the lady friend and i don't have any fear at all of being harrased by that department.
-
I was there as well. I was one of the 4 sportbikes in the area, lol.
Love that event though, ate enough to kill a moose. Didnt see you guys walking around though, must have been the 4000 people blocking my view.....
