I'm going to have to be careful when I come over to the big island, everyone will be packing heat.

We have extended the class size due to the demand. a few had conflicting dates and had to drop. so as of this morning I can take 4 more people.

It's interesting to be secure in the fact that there will be island residents who are legally packin' concealed heat in order to protect themselves from...
.... well,... Danger and what exactly that danger on this island is... will be something that will have to be decided amongst themselves, preferably in a civil manner....and it wont be our resident Pirate...''He being more a moocher than a predator....

...even in old west Dodge City they made the Buckaroos all check their weapons at the door before being allowed into the Bucket of Blood Saloon for a night of drinking, whoring, gambling and fighting...

We non packing citizens should let our Island saloon keepers and restaurant owners be aware that we will be holding them responsible for issues that come of any drunken patrons who are packing concealed heat on a wild Island Friday night.....over the years the fistfights have always been entertaining, but stray bullets will really scare those tourist bystanders, which of course, would be a Chamber of Commerce nightmare...

Well don't worry too much about that,
a lot of those "tourists" are already armed.

BTW, in Michigan you have to open carry in a bar to be
legal.

Bolton, who knew you are so gifted in the written prose? One small spelling correction in your editorial. I am a "smoocher", not a "moocher" unless you consider that I often mooch smooches of which I'm guilty.
Your other points have merit. I might not be the only targeted victim of a possible random shooting envisioned from my paranoia. I do agree with you in the fact that I'm not sure 'packing heat' and 'Pure Michigan' are compatible tourism terms.

I gave all my hand guns to my sons when I retired. I always thought it was sort of a burden to be forced to carry one around all the time. But fortunately I kept my body armour- Might come in handy!

Dave,
Don't get me wrong... I have weapons (doesn't everybody?)
in my house, sometimes in my camper vehicle when I travel ( not in Mexico or on the island,Travis)
in my office downtown. But not on the streets of my small town, where I live, which has little or no violent crime. Doesn't make safety sense,
but...

21 year olds, practicing "Open Carry" in the Bar....
What could possibly go wrong there?
and those are the ones who are "legal".
and don't we already have Open Season on tourists?

What, Me worried?

and you, Bippie.... you have been married so long, that if you are still mooching smooches, it's not with your wife

I think we might have consensus here. Like Bolton, a good pirate is always armed to the teeth with weapons, both open and concealed. And I like Dave's thinking that we should be allowed to open carry a side arm in the bars just to let those gun toting "tourist" know they can't get the drop on us over here.

Campbell's idea of body armor ain't bad just in case someone does get the drop on us.

Does the Michigan statute allow for a blunderbuss?

We haven't heard where this CPL class is going to take place or what time or anything like that. Does anybody know what is going on? We have been gone for 13 days and just got back on Saturday and we still have not heard anything from anybody as to where and what time to be there.

Thanks
Mike.

The "blunderbuss" group will be meeting on Whiskey Island at a concealed location and at a concealed time. You should receive more information in a concealed envelope.

I failed to mention that everyone is to bring an appetizer to pass. I'll provide the rum and we will use the empty bottles as fixed targets. By midafternoon, the targets will appear to be moving thus providing more of a fun challenge.
Brendan McCaw will be bringing his set of gold plated dueling pistols to settle any disputes that one might have with another.
For anyone who wishes to stay over night, we are thinking of plundering Drummond Island the next day.
