Ok, so as many of you know, I rented a table at the gun show here in Jackson today. My goal was simple; EDUCATE people in the legalities of OC. I was joined by zigzigityzoo, who is a cavalcade of knowledge, and I actually learned a lot from him. We had a lot of people surprised and excited to know that you cold OC in MI. We also had some people asking when our classes where. And when we explained that there are no classes required they were quite excited. It was a wonderful and exciting day, and many more people now know. We gave away about 95 info pamphlets.
We were also asked by a group to get up and give a presentation on the legalities of OC.(Venator I wanted to talk with you about this)

In short very positive, very motivating... not to mention we got to meet some people off this sight we had not met before.

Great times!

Zig, if you have anything to add feel free.

I went to the show and although I did not find anything I was looking for the place was suprisingly packed.

Talked to a friend at church who had a table there yesterday. He said business was very good.

Quite. We shook hands with, or gave information to about 100 people over 6 hours. Well worth the $10 table fee. :D

Kimberguy, you pretty much summed it up.

Kimberguy and Ziggity... it was fun to meet you guys. This was the first-ever gun show put on by this Jackson club and I hope to make it out to more in the future. I was pleasantly surprised to see people I knew who had tables there! I didn't expect to know anyone. Went to Schupbach's to shop afterward, then out to DNR Sharonville range to plink awhile. A good day all in all.
