OK! I will take a shot at it and post it as a new thread later today/tomorrow. I am thinking a Myth/Fact type of approach, backed up by MCL info.
Thoughts???
I think that is a good Idea for the masses that seek accurate information on any subject gun law related.
Being new to open carring and this great site. I looked here for fact not someones interruption of the law. In doing so I had to look for a long time to exhaust every post and reply to see if I could find what I was looking for.
Even after. I still had to seek out from the governing bodies for my answers and still waiting for some. I don't want to go by someones take on the law that may lead to my gun rights taken away or imprisonment. If its not fact backed up with attached info from the governing bodies its just he said she said to me till I look into it and find facts supporting the claim.
So I welcome a easy reference so when someone asks I can point them to a section that tells with information backed with links or emails from governing bodies of Michigan.
As for my neighbor it could be just that. Her failure to pay attention and ask questions if she is not clear on what was said. That's why I asked for his information to check his standing on this subject before condemning him for not being accurate.
Being a ex-LEO and now being a CPL instructor making money doing so. I could see now with more people seeing it is within our rights to OC he could be saying this to ensure he keeps making money doing so. Again I don't know for sure but if and when I do I will pass on that information for all to see.
The first info I received on OC was from a buddy going through the academy. Even though he was a very intelligent and informed guy I still didn't take what he said as fact. It was met with doubts. Thinking there had to be a catch or only certain people could do so without a CPL until I found this site and asked the proper channels if it was so.
The easiest most accurate information will help the people not informed or on the fence about OC make the best educated accurate choices and not detour them with many different ways of peoples take on the law(s) and what they mean.
