View Full Version : Michigan dad OC at daughter's school- NOTHING happens...
Nope, not even panic and/or pandemonium. I watched most of the video and even the school deputy pointed out that no one even noticed. Story is, MI allows those with a permit to carry on school grounds (although I'm not totally sure what permit that is). Dad takes his trusty .45, puts it on his hip, turns on his cellphone video camera and, after calling PD and school officials, proceeds to visit his daughter's school open carrying. Nothing happens! No one so much as even breaks out into panic. Video in the story...

It's very interesting to me that he can open carry on school grounds but not conceal carry. Even the deputy thought that was screwy. I'm glad he exercised his rights and it was a non-event.

I open carry almost all the time and no one freaks. Not to jinx myself or anything. It's just more proof that people don't notice anything nor do they freak out at the drop of a hat. Children (little kids) tend to notice first, and if there are a lot of them where I am, I will cover it. It's a double retention holster, but I don't need some curious kid messing with it and having their parents freak the hell out.
On the job, or in your personal life?

Both, actually
It's amazing... his gun didn't leap out of it's holster and aim for the nearest sparkly-eyed toddler, emptying all 7 rounds of it's massively destructive, high-cap assault clip thingy.

Why not just conceal, always?

A lot of the time I do, but when I just get off work or going to work, I don't bother.
Wish Colorado would allow conceal carry everywhere,

We're looking at a new school for our sixth-grader to be. The principal has a picture of her son at four years old hanging behind her desk, showing him holding two toy cowboy pistols. I think we'll be happy there.
Sorry, I don't see what the point of this excerise was..Well, unless he was starving for attention.................[Shake]
Wonder where in Michigan this was, I couldn't get the video to load. MI and CO have some of the same lib problems, where in MI the Detroit and Flint areas have the highest population centers that are all pro union liberals and the rest of the state suffers. While in CO it's the pro pot/illegal immigrant liberals in Denver and Boulder that now have control of the state. I'm guessing it was a more rural area if he was calling sheriffs and state police.

Makes sense!

Did you read the story? He was proving a point- not just because it was legal, but in the video he did state that if you don't exercise your rights once in a while you run the risk of losing them. But he was also trying to prove that open carrying a firearm wouldn't reduce the masses into bumbling, panicking critters.
