Linda and I had a great time meeting folks for the first time, in person. If we didn't get around to you, Iwaswearing the dark blue ball cap and yellow golf shirt by way of description of myself.

There was a report that one of our friendswho walked to the park open carrying was harassed by the police during his walk to the park. Is that true? If so, what are the details on that?

True...

He was stopped by an even dozen of Warrens finest. They un-armed him, detained him for roughly 10 minutes, returned his weapon and was released without incident.

Edit: to include ALL the facts

Perhaps some members of the Warren PD need moreopportunity to see lawful open carry and become lesssensitive about it? Shall we think about a walk downtown, shopping and dining, sometime?

Sounds VERY appropriate. Spoke to the wife, she said "GREAT idea". So count us in.

Welcome to OCDO. I would like to suggest you start here http://opencarry.mywowbb.com/forum30/13328.html It will answer MOST commonly asked questions.

As far as "picnics" and "gatheriings" go. Constantly check the site. We have been having a get together (not a rally) at least once a month. The next scheduled get together is for September, in Flint.

Ok, I have to say I had a great time today. Sorry if I didn't get around to everyone but I thank those who were there and hope you enjoyed yourselves. Ron, I guess you had better send a copy of my pic as well, my wife needs a new one for the dart board. I just got home myself, wife's party went great as well. I just made it in time (4:55) so I was lucky there. Although getting older isn't usually acknowledged by the female half she appreciated her party. I look forward to our next pinic and hope I can stay longer.

Good deal. Please inform the misses that her apple log was a HUGE success. Every last piece was eaten. My wife would LOVE the recipe/directions IF, yours has no problem sharing :)

Ron: I would be glad to share the recipe with you. My wife doesn't mind a bit. I'll have to dig it out of the files and I'll PM it to you. If others would like it, either PM me or I can post it.
