Thank you for your opinion.

you people who dress in gi joe costumes and pretend your some type of military force know you are violating laws governing the use and wear of military-type uniforms?
There may be laws prohibiting the impersonation of soldiers, but there are no laws regulating the wearing of camo. We don't wear any military insignias, nor do we use
any of the camo currently employed by the US military.
There's a good reason why we use camo, and it's for the same reason the military does: it works!
Though all of our instructors are combat veterans, military-style training is only
one of the things we do. We also have a doctor and a Detroit EMT who teach medical classes. We test all kinds of gear- military and otherwise, under extreme conditions to see how well it works in case we ever REALLY need it. We keep our vehicles and homes stocked with non-perishable food, water and medical supplies, so that we can be self-sufficient and even help our neighbors, in the event of a disaster. (We did that during the blackout of '04).
I'm not sure why you decided to sign up here and criticize something that you have no first-hand knowledge of. Why not take the high road and see for yourself?

Each year we host this event, purely for fun and to offer the public an opportunity to see that we're not what the media told you we are. Come on out, eat, enter some shooting contests, shoot several firearms you've never shot before, and be sure to get in line for the .50 cal!
