We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :)
Please help by posting all issues here.
The forum will be down for about an hour this weekend for maintenance. I apologize for the inconvenience.
Some good deals may be had in the parking lot.

I believe this site goes live Dec 1st. We should be able to conveniently renew our CPLs online, provided you have and use a credit card. I hope the transition goes smoothly.

For those who haven't heard Senate Bill 245 eliminates current law prohibiting sale and possession of spring-assisted knives, also known as switchblades. The law becomes active today. So break out your switchblades :)

Just thought I would throw this out there. If you or I had done this we would have our CPL revoked plus additional charges. Since he is a cop NOTHING, no charges, no fines, very minor disciplinary measures (slap on the wrist and told don't do it again). <Shrug>...

A few things have changed and many people's attitudes towards OC and carry in general have improved since my last visit to Mackinac Island. I will try and give a brief synopsis of the vacation the wife and I took up north and to the island last weekend for those that might care and in the hopes...
I have to travel from the Detroit area to Chicago next weekend. I will be staying a couple of days. I am a member of these forums for some time now, mostly frequenting the MI forums. I have been TRYING to keep up on the developments regarding carry in IL.
I have a couple of questions, please...
I was asked a question by a friend yesterday that made me ponder a bit.
He just got his CPL and wondered if he could legally OC or CC his MAC-10 with a shoulder sling strap instead of a holster. At first I just laughed and gave him a laundry list on why that would be a VERY bad idea.

Be thankful for the rights we do have here in MI. I am currently visiting Hawaii with the wife on our anniversary. Alot of us around here complain about how messed up some of the MI gun laws are. I guess I am guilty to a certain extent of taking for granted the rights we have here.
Let me tell...
Greetings to the residents of Hawaii. I am on vacation with the wife here in Honolulu for our 2nd wedding anniversary. When we leave next week it will have been the longest I have went without carrying my firearm in well over a decade.
