You don't pay attention well, do you? :banghead: This thread is about schools in Michigan. And
In Michigan, it is a felony for anyone except LEO to carry concealed in a school. Only OPEN CARRY is legal in a school for Michigan CPL holders.
Yep my error. And I acknowledge it.
So let me ask, who or what group has filed in the courts to overturn that restriction? And who or what group is lobbying to amend the school syllabus and teach the history of the 2A, of firearms in the U.S., the actual safety statistics of law abiding firearms owners in the U.S?
The reason I ask, and an earlier post acknowledged it well, is that the ultimate goal is about winning. Restoring the rights granted and interpreted in the 2A, and halting the continuous push of the anti-gun agenda.
If you think that OC brings you closer to that goal, then keep going. I for one would be willing to accept the low probabilities that focusing on the agenda above while restraining from using OC to ultimately scare and empower school and government officials will not be appreciably putting my safety in jeopardy. And it is a risk I would gladly take to win the debate.
As I read an earlier post, some think otherwise. That OC and occasionally forcing a school shutdown may highlight the inconsistency of the law, resulting in a positive outcome for those of us who advocate restoration of the rights granted by the 2A. But I really think that's a bad bet.
If it comes down to these last two issues, that is, whether OC in a school is a good bet or not, or whether other tactics should be used instead to provide a winning position for those pro to the 2A, that would be a healthy discussion.
