Open Karry Piknik in Kalamazoo
June 8th, 2009
Murdoc didn’t even know about this until he read the blogs:
Gun owners show support for open-carry law at picnic in Kalamazoo
It resembled most any Sunday afternoon picnic in Bronson Park. Except most of the people assembled around tables filled with watermelon and grilled goodies had firearms in holsters strapped to their waists.
The Glocks and the Smith & Wessons remained holstered but visible during a three-hour Open Carry Picnic designed to raise public awareness of what organizers called Second Amendment rights in Michigan to openly carry a firearm in most places.
They were high school teachers, college students, computer geeks and housewives with one thing in common. Rather than a cell phone, the leather pouch they wore at their waist contained a gun. The picnic drew about 40 people on a wet afternoon.
Murdoc was actually staying not too far from Kalamazoo this weekend.
Here’s a good news report on the event:
Hat tips to Huffman and Soyer.

Did you notice the graphic behind the news woman at the beginning of the video? “Pistol with cross-hairs and Crime Tape” Nice. I’m sure that was the only gun icon they had.
