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.

oooo I have to check my schedule, I hope I can make it

[prick]

This sounds like its right up my alley!

[Ryle Hira]

Goddamn it! I'm working that day until 6:00 :( no range time for me...

[Vater Araignee]

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 . 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.

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 don't know any off hand but the 9th would be a great time to ask around. Networking is always fun! Great time to meet new people with common interests.

Does that mean I'll see you there?

[Invictus]

Awww hell, I've got Judo planned for that day. Hopefully it'll happen again pretty soon.

[Ryle Hira]

^.^ still planning on stopping by after work.

[Vater Araignee]

There are 13 geocaches there too, 4 of them I haven't found so I might look for them too.

If anyone with a GPSR is interested, I would be happy to give you a primer and coords to local caches.
