    Who Open Carries In Sports Arenas?

    Whenever I've gone to a sporting even at the Jo or Comerica Park, nobody is every searched for weapons on their persons. All they do is take their little stick and make the ladies open their purse for examination. I guess to make sure they are not sneaking in beer more than anything else. I...

    What to do right now to support SB59?

    I just called my senator (Hopgood) to express my support for SB59. Call timer said it took exactly 1:21 so it's not like it takes any real time out of your day. Is there anyone else that I should be contacting about this right now?

    Suppressor Update?

    I've been really busy with school and the family so I rarely get a chance to check in here. I wasn't able to find that thread from a while back where some legislation was in the initial draft stages or whatever to bring suppressors into the realm of the legal. Where do things stand on that...

    Thinking of Giving U-M The Finger

    I attend U-M Dearborn as a full time student. If you run a search on my post history, some of my first activity here was in regards to carrying on campus. After getting all the facts straight (about the Universities being their own 'Constitutional Entities') I have refrained from carrying...

    Will Campus Carry Be Legit If New Laws Sail Through?

    There is a nice long thread here about putting up support for the new bills designed to eliminate Pistol Free Zones. I was wondering, if it passes, will we be good-to-go to carry at the major state Universities? I know that this is a hiccup area because they are considered "separate...

    Do CPL Holders have to inform a LEO When Not In a Vehicle?

    I just read this story about a guy who is being charged because he was approached by a police officer while walking his dog and didn't immediately inform him that he was carrying. Story here: http://morningjournal.com/articles/2010/11/18/news/mj3691672.txt?viewmode=default I know it's a...

    How Would You Go About Selling Your Pistol?

    I'm going to sell my Springfield Armory TRP and use the funds to buy an LCP for my wife and a XDm Compact for myself as I don't carry the gun and have only shot it at the range once. I looked on Gun Broker and checking the completed listings it seems like these guns do not sell very well there...

    How Do You Go About Asking Your State Rep/Senator to Introduce Legislation?

    I don't know much about the schedules or procedures of the State Legislature (don't even know what a "Lame Duck" session is) so I was wondering what is the best way to go about asking your representative to introduce legislation? I'm going to ask my guy to try and get knife carry under...

    Most Of You Guys are Breaking the Law For Sure...

    After getting a little advice about carrying a knife here I did a quick search of local ordinances and found that, as most people here probably carry some type of pocket knife of some type, you all are LAWBREAKERS! Southgate bans carrying a knife concealed. No length is specified. You could...

    After Seeing What Happened at Huron Valley High School...

    ...I've decided to take the family's training up a notch next year. I think I'm going to get us all started in a MMA gym. My friend says whole families train at Mash Gym in Redford and that it's not an overly machoized environment. I'm thinking I'll add in knife training early on (maybe when...

    Can You Keep a Rifle In Your Vehicle?

    If you have a crew-cab pickup truck, can you rig up straps to the flip-up rear seats so you can secure an unloaded long gun to it? I've got a suspicion the answer is not because of something about you are only allowed to transport a firearm in a locked case to and from the range or something...

    Any Chance Sound Suppressors Will Go Legal in MI Anytime Soon?

    When I left MI for the Marine Corps in 2000 I remember that Class 3 Weapons were a no-go in this state regardless of how much money you had. A few years after I came back I learned that this had changed. Don't really know why...or how for that matter. In any case...I guess suppressors (which...

    Got My SERPA Concealment Holster Today

    I love this thing already. Life seems so much simpler when you make the switch to open carry. There's no need to worry about tradeoffs between size and magazine capacity, so I can just carry my 4" XD wherever I want now. No problems with comfort while jamming a gun down my trousers...all of...

    What Do You Do For Real-World Training?

    I just watched this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QjZY3WiO9s) and while I know the entire thing is rigged it does make the point that you need to get some serious training...not just standing at a range shooting paper targets. What do ya'll do for training? Flying out to Gunsite or...

    Video of Police Interation

    I just saw this video on a friend's facebook profile. I'm surprised the police let him walk in the end. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTzzdPVLn2o
