Got an email from Michigan Open Carry saying that MOC/MCRGO/MGO/SAM are once again sponsoring a gathering at the State Capitol.

Facebook event info

Tentative schedule:
9:30am - March proceeds from corner of Michigan and Pennsylvania to the Capitol.
10am - Noon - Meet with your state representatives.
Noon - 2pm - Meet with your state senators.

Who else is going?

I can dig up some parking info for those that are unfamiliar with the area.

Edit: I've been to three of these and can answer any questions anyone might have.

Ha, I probably will.

That's me on the right, back in February

A Wednesday?

We're not FSA. We have jobs during the week.

Yeah But our reps work during the week too. Have it on the weekend, and the building would be empty.

I plan on being there. Always looking for an excuse to miss work. Hopefully it's not cold and snowy like the last 2 I went to.

I put in for some time off.

65 hours of PTO to burn. Why not use it for a good cause?

Teenager meeting congresscritters? Yes please!

That depends on me getting a holster first. At the moment, I have not a single holster or sling. I'm waiting on a Crossbreed Supertuck to show up.

Carrying isn't required by the way. Just showing up would be great.

I used some PTO to be there.

OP, will we be going into the capitol to meet with our state congresscritters, or will this be a strictly outdoor event?
9/24/2013 7:28:32 PM EDT
[#18]
Good question, I'm not too sure. Though the capitol has NO carrying restrictions, if that's why you ask.

I didn't set up this thing so I wouldn't be the best person to ask FYI, just spreading the word along.

MOC has said they will be giving away up to 1,000 "Guns save lives" pins at their table, per their Facebook page. Maybe that'll entice some of you to show up.

I'll be the skinny guy in a Arfcom cap. See ya'll Wednesday.

Do to homework that came up, I wasn't able to make it out there today.  How was the turnout?
10/9/2013 9:45:57 PM EDT
[#35]
Maybe 200 were there at the most. Weird since the one in February, which was right after we had a foot of snow dropped on us, had an unofficial count of I think 1,500.

I heard on WJR this morning that some schools cancelled their field trips to the Capitol because of the open carry event.  They didn't want the kids there with all those people carrying guns.

What a bunch of idiots (not the OC'ers).
