[Knimrod]

Good poll!

I voted other.. I'm a founding member..

[Tallbear]

founding member......

[dougwg]

I wanted to join a Michigan based gun group.

Searched google and here I am.

[Garbo]

I have to credit dominus for the idea on this one :thumbup:

I was a search on info regarding a CPL in Mi. Tallbear was quick to reply and eager to help. Thanks again Mike

[fbuckner]

Followed the masses.

[automech]

My brother told me about this site, after I asked him how and where I could learn more about carrying and the mind set one would want to have in doing so. I asked him (manic mechanic) where he learned about MGO, he thinks he picked up one of your pamphlets' somewhere. Either where he took his CPL class in Monroe or Westborn Gun Shop where we have both made purchases.

[jvanhorn]

As I remember, I was on a PA gun forum, and thought that there must be a Michigan equivalent, then saw an ad in Woods & Water News

[remingtondude58]

I learned of MGO from another member(harleydude1911)

[kww]

My father-in-law. Great guy!

[RevDerb]

As far as I can remember, I found MGO through a Google search for gun forums. I think that I had already discovered Glock Talk and SigForum because that's what I owned at the time and since I enjoyed them, I searched for more and here I am. ;-)

[goldwing2000]

Not quite a founding member but been here since about 6 months after inception. I think Sarge clued me in initially. :scratch:

[DOUGHBOY RACING]

The 2 Waterford Police Officers that gave our CPL class told us about it, they said it was a great source of info. and a great way to network with fellow sportsmen and women.

[Joeywhat]

My google-fu was strong that day.

[Roundballer]

I first hear of MGO through a member, who is also a member of my Sportsmen's Club. Our member talked up MGO and made arrangements for Tallbear (Mike) to talk to us at a meeting. Mike impressed the membership enough that a motion was made from the floor to affiliate our club with MGO. Motion carried. (by our rules, that makes it a directive for the Board to follow up on) So, here I am (and several others too).

[KirkM]

I think I came across this site way back when MCRGO (http://www.mcrgo.org/mcrgo/) was falling apart. :mrgreen:

[mechredd]

I was doing so online research about a gun (I can't remember which one) and a google search took me to this site. I thought that since I live in Michigan and am a gun owner, I should register. So I did.

[fotophocus]

Searched for info on CPL wait times in Wayne County. I had already applied for my CPL at the time.

Come to find out that I had already known Tallbear for a couple of years before, had no idea he was into guns or anything about MGO though.

Now c'm on, look at tallbear, you're saying you couldnt tell that he was into guns lol. Actually the give away would have been his ahhh, previous truck with all the stickers on it.

LOL... Only saw him in suits (a dapper looking fellow).

All I could tell from looking at him was that he sang country music duets with Dolly Parton. :ukliam2::moon2:

[Garbo]

LMAO

[azasadny]

This is a great site to get info. Thanks for the resource!

I voted other, came over when MCRGO was going down the tubes

Wow and I thought I had pretty much all the possible answers covered. Should have put " Searcing for a Michigan Based Gun Group" or to that effect. Seems obvious,,,,,,,,,, now lol

Great feedback everyone. Keep it comming.

[007bondjamesbond007]

You had to have been searching for something gun related :)

[Joel216]

I was told about MCRGO did not remember the whole name and would up here.

Lucky for you. ;)

[Knightrider03m]

I forgot what I was looking for but I was on Google.com for something and ran across this site.

[_DK_]

Searching for CPL info brought me here

[T_UNIT]

voted "other"...

I picked up a pamphlet at Advanced Ranges back around Oct or Nov 2008.

[Red Sector A]

.. I too came over from the 'other' org after I voiced some opinions about the direction, or lack there of, they were going... they banned me and someone.. cant remember who.. told me about this place where other outcasts were going.

Glad I found it... been a member since... and proud of it.

[ColonelKurtz]

I voted "other" b/c I honestly can't remember how I found MGO. But I'm sure glad I did.

[Leader]

I voted other because I can't remember exactly how I found it.
I was part of "that other group" before the breakup, probably heard about this one from there.

[Burs]

My son kframe357 told me. And i was happy to join up.

[ace1974]

found out from another site nice site I love it

[Hockey9019]

Referred by halfacop if I recall when I was looking at picking up a Glock

[rustyreel]

nick s put me on to mgo.

[Mike1979]

Was trying to sell a shotgun on Craigslist, someone told me to try here. Spent about 5 hrs/day ever since

[Done Deal]

I don't remember exactly how I wound up here but, shortly after I did get here, I asked about where to find some info for a Pro2A research/presentation my daughter had to do for class at MSU.

Info came from everywhere and I was able to send her links to the info she needed to give much of her class and professor a....uh.....fresh perspective....so to speak.

I then decided to ante up and become a contributing member.

[kframe357]

I'm a member on other sites (S&W forums, THR, TFL...) I saw someone refer to it and checked it out.

[EddieM]

You guys don't really expect me to remember that far back. I can barely remember yesterday. I was floating around there someplace in the begining, but no one will remember cause I'm that type of guy. forgettable

[goldwing2000]

Possibly also because you only have 150 posts over almost 7 years.

[Batman]

I said other because I can't remember!:biggrin:

[EddieM]

Possibly also because you only have 150 posts over almost 7 years.
And most of those have been in the last couple months.

[Jim Rund]

Other. Was on MCRGO and saw how that was falling apart and heard others starting MGO and wanted to still have a message board to search for info and see what is going on.

[protectionisamust]

i was searching information regarding obtaining a CPL. started over at glocktalk and someone refered me to MGO for the legal beagle section. Since then, have not left. Love the site -

[Howard000003]

I was searching google for information on the process of purchasing a handgun (bought my first one when I turn 21). Great site, great people, I've learned a lot thus far.

[Ol` Joe]

I voted refered.
I found this site by following a link on another forum to a thread on some now forgotten subject.

[esq_stu]

I'm sure it was a google search for something gun related. I have no idea what it was. I'm here now, and like the site.

[dragbikelmr]

My buddie told me about it when I was looking for a shotgun.

[warrior1978]

I believe I googled for "michigan gun forum" or something along those lines

[genesis]

Everytime I start a new hobby, I run a search for a related forum. Started on XDtalk since it was my first gun, and enbded up running a Michigan Gun Forum search. Settled in here after seeing the "other site". I am glad I did, the attitude is much friendlier and conducive to actual discussion.
BTW, only been here a little over a year, and only been a gun owner since January 08

[John R]

I chose other,

I was a member of the other group, and I know some of the guy's that started this one.

I have been coming here off and on ever sense.

Met quite a few of them at a fun shoot in West Branch, a few years back (I think around May of 2002).
Very nice bunch of people.

[adam40cal]

I was told by a friend.

[israelifal]

Was searching for hk/cetme parts and found the site

[white1200c]

Someone here, and unfortunately I don't remeber who (or I would thank them)
referenced this site on GlockTalk. But I was a member of the Howell Gun Clug when MCRGO was in its hayday....glad to have missed most of the drama, and glad to be part of the new revolution!

[JH1977]

Looked at some user profiles who used to post way back when.
Some are still around even though they don't post anymore :poke: :cheers:

[CnA]

I was kicked off of the MCRGO boards for questioning their policies on the forums and was labeled a troublemaker. Was invited here by Rob when he first started this board.

[ittayem66]

[UpNorthWOLF]

[Cherokee]

Been here since the very beginning.

[SWMP15]

......would go off missing to for hours and days......well now I know! MGO!

Now, I get lost on here for days! :cheers:

[youngblood64]

actually found you guys through a link on greatlakes4x4.com trying to find a new pistol. haven't left since.:beammeup:

[tote'ngranny]

Totally by accident. I never dreampt that I would eventually own a gun or take the stance that I now have. It's due to the changes in my neighborhood (and my country) that I realized that I needed to take matters into my own hands, not depend on the police to protect me. I have learned sooooo much since then. Good friends had been urging me to get armed. I finally listened to their advice on which gun would be suitable, took the home protection class, joined the club where I took the class so that I could continue to get excellent advice and help. SAFETY and confidence handlling a gun are huge factors with me since I hadn't fired a gun since the early '60's when I was a girl and couldn't hit the broadside of a barn. Now I know why and I don't miss.
This is a fantastic forum for me because I have much to learn and another resource :thumbup:

I believe I googled for "michigan gun forum" or something along those lines

What warrior said. I wanted to find something a little closer to home and also was hoping to find something with more activities on the west side of the state - everything seems to be oriented in the central to eastern michigan regions.
