No One Attacked at Michigan Open Carry Picnic
June 08, 2009

Summary
More than 30 people gathered in Bronson Park in Kalamazoo this weekend, packing pistols. It might have been the safest picnic in the state.


Kalamazoo, Michigan -- A group of gun owners in West Michigan are speaking up for their rights, and they're doing it in a unique way.

More than 30 people gathered in Bronson Park in Kalamazoo Sunday. They say they want everyone to understand what the Second Amendment means to them.

Open Carry held a group picnic: bring a dish to pass, and don't forget your side-arm. Legal gun owners carried their guns in a legal, visible way. The sight of a gun in the open may draw concern from the general public. Robert Grinage of Kalamazoo says he's gotten a couple of strange looks. "I started open-carrying in March of this year - what my thing is is we have a right and if we don't use it, we're going to end up losing it," Robert Grinage told FOX 17 News.

As compared to nobody being attacked at all the other picnics that day? Is Kalamazoo just a dangerous place to picnic?

That just can't be!

Don't you know that guns kill people?

With 30 guns present, they should have just jumped up and started shooting, and at least 900 people should be dead, mostly in Mexico!

with the parks bill passing in Tennessee, which went into effect the instant the governor signed the paper today, i wonder how long it will be before chattanooga tries to pass an ordinance to try and prevent that here.
