Well responsible legal citizens wouldn't bring those things into the state park anyway.

In Island Lake RA it is illegal to "Possess or consume an alcoholic beverage within from April 1 through Labor Day, without written authorization of the park manager"

My only hand gun is an ArmaLite AR-7 that was modified into a pistol in 61 or 62, legally.

Unfortunately because I am not the modifier...

I can not open carry it.

It must be dissembled to the point of interoperability for transport.

It must be transported in a locked case.

So it wont be coming with me and unless my father cuts his trip short I cant borrow his p-22 (in hopes of winning a rifle) or bring my rifles to the range.

It suck but I'm still showing up.

Come anyway and show your support.

I'm 100% positive that some one will be handing out LEO packets for people to send their local Chiefs and Sheriffs so that they know "Any citizen that can legally possess a firearm can Open Carry".

Heh, weird. I always thought that was just for the beach :confused:. Either way, it's probably a good idea to not have drunks with guns, I was being a smart ass.

I figured as much but you made me realize that a lot of people don't know that the law pertains to more than the beaches.

Many more don't know that Parks have different rules.

April 1 through Labor Day

Fort Custer RA - entire park.

Holly RA - day-use areas south of McGinnis Road.

Island Lake RA - day-use areas of the park.

Seven Lakes SP - entire park.

Maybury SP - entire park.

April 1 through September 30

Brighton RA - Bishop Lake day-use area.

Pinckney RA - Silver Lake and Halfmoon Lake units.

Sterling SP - day-use areas of the park.

Metamora-Hadley RA - day-use areas of the park.

Ortonville RA - Big Fish Lake day-use area.

Proud Lake RA - Huron picnic area.

Just a quick example.

:yes Oh I plan too. I don't have anything else planned after work that night and ILRA is only about 10 minutes from my work. Its just been a long while since I've been to the range, would have been nice to shoot too.

Last time I was on a state owned range some twit went on a tangent about me setting up my trap to throw rabbits because they "Distracted him." I got sick of it and started picking off his pigeons after he missed them. Even tho the supervisors where laughing their asses off I had to leave for taking his clay.

Been trying to find a range near by that will let me shoot clay rabbits with a .22, no luck so far.

    • I am currently floored.   FedEx did a massive 6 box delivery to the wrong address.  I had an autoship order scheduled to arrive before this past weekend.  Nothing showed up.  I contacted the order site and they had a link for the order...a photo of all my boxes thrown in the snow and up the sidewalk of a residence that was not mine.   You would think that at some point, the driver would have looked at the delivery address after they kept throwing box upon box at this location with no shelter from the elements.  They didn't even knock on the door to inform the residents that massive 65+ pound boxes were left all over their walkway.  Nope.  Just dumped them, took a photo as they were walking away and left.   I wonder what the person who found all of those misdelivered boxes must have been thinking when they saw them.  Maybe they kept everything to use, distribute or sell.  No idea.  No claim was filed on that end as of yet.   Fortunately for me, one of the sites that I ordered from, replaced everything at no extra cost.   Unfortunately, now I'm concerned for the other items yet to be delivered.   Needless to say, I'll be watching my notifications like a hawk.

    • ~~~~~ Yeah, thank you for the check-in.   Happy to say it was all a misunderstanding.  But she pulled out her "ghetto" and that's when things went South.  I get very professional minded when I enter into situations like that because when someone starts bring the court into conversations, I'm in court 2 times a year, every year, so don't go there with me because I will get legal all over you.   She did try to change what she thought she might have said, but I had to call her on it because it's all in written text.  Then she apologized and we were able to have a decent conversation.   I know I joke about me talking so much that people don't hear what I say except for keywords that they are looking for, but that is exactly what happened here.  She heard "payment", "money" and "help out".  It was crazy.  I literally had to have the entire conversation all over again, but I definitely condensed it to only address those 3 words.   Things are back on track, but I emphasized that if she every needed clarification for anything, please say something first instead of jumping to conclusions, then questioning that conclusion, then answering that conclusion, then getting upset at the answer and taking it out on someone who doesn't have a clue what the San Juan Hill just happened.   But this is exactly the reason I do everything with a paper trail.
