As Scottzcamaro has stated they do not serve alcohol, so if you don't have a cpl you can open carry at this establishment. If you don't already know about the proper transporting of a pistol without a cpl, please read the law's of such before attending.

You are welcome to bring any friends and family, I'll be bringing my wife, daughter, and a few friends. I just need to know for a total head count for Scott to properly prepare for our group. Hope to see you all there.:multi:

This is great! glad to see it happen on the west side, be sure to take pictures.

MGO will have two meet-n-greet on the same day west and east side of the state!

I'm in!

Um if we can't find an indoor range afterwards we could go out to South Kent Sportsmens Club in Dorr, it's like 20~25 minutes away. It's outdoors, I know it's cold out but that it what warm clothing it for! ;)

I think the only indoor range in the area would be silverbullet right?
South Kent is a very nice club.

I believe that SKSC has their set up day for their first IDPA match on that day. I'm sure I can break away from there for a while for the Meet & Greet.

Silver Bullet is really busy on Saturday's. You might want to check with them about lane rental if your going to want to shoot there.

ill try and stop by, my wife has a baby shower that day down by gun lake. I am shooting IDPA on sunday at SKSC, i would love to see some of you come out and shoot (im one of the goofy revo shooters). Ill talk to my wife and we might be able to swing though on our way down.

right2bear
02-20-2013, 05:39 AM
Hmmm what kind of pizza? I'll probably get a meat lovers pan style. :thumbup:

right2bear
02-21-2013, 07:44 PM
So far we have

Attending including myself, family and friends = 11

Maybe's = 10

NOT TOO BAD, FOR THE FIRST WEST SIDE GET TOGETHER!!!!:thumbup:

Let's see how many more people we can get to show up, spread the word folks!


Silver Bullet seems extremely busy on Saturday's and is probably not a good choice. I won't be shooting this time, as I'm bringing my family, and a couple friends that want to be there but also have other things going on afterwards.

Just joined MGO. Was looking forward to this event til I realized its on a Sat.:( work will prevent me and family from attending. If it was later in the day maybe...... How long do you expect this event to last, maybe we could make it near the end time? But then again with my schedule I wouldn't hold your breath:lol: Enjoy the good company and good food all. I'll be thinking of you all and wishing I was there.

Sounds good so far guys. Keep me in the loop with head counts so I can staff my store accordingly. Last minute is fine as long as I have a decent idea of how many people overall. We are not too far from Silverbullet so we could be your favorite place to eat before or after you hit the range :D

3 hours of range time for 10 bucks. Plus safer and more friendly than the other place in town.

MGO is not sanctioning anything, but that doesn't mean that others can't go on their own. The purpose of this meet and greet is to schedule future events, and see what our volunteer base is on the west side for getting things done. See you there!!!

Opening the doors @ 10am. If you guys need me to open a lil earlier for you to setup something LMK. I should have plenty of staff on so bring yourself, friends, and like-minded:thup: Plan on sharing tables and booths with other MGO people because it seems this is going to be a pretty big meet-and-greet. I assume no one bites :mrgreen:

We are in a strip mall. The front of the building parking lot usually gets full. There is tons of parking in the back. The store is directly across from Family Fare on Byron Center street.

kdogg
03-09-2013, 10:14 AM
Well, we are here! Place is packed! People are packing guns both open and concealed and so far no ones gotten shot, imagine that?! :)

I tried to get my wife to come, she has ZERO interest. I told the kids they could come too but my wife didn't think the kids (teenagers) should come hangout with a bunch of "guys with guns". Funny part there, my step-son WORKS for Pizza Hut and Scott was his manager/trainer and my wife still really didn't seem like she wanted him to come.

Anyway, I have to say I was a bit surprised myself. This event is VERY family oriented. Men, women and children of all ages, people speaking about various political issues, upcoming events etc. This is a very professional event yet at the same time it's just a good group of people getting together, relaxing and having lunch!

Nice table of swag too!

Awesome time and group, thanks to all who helped organize and spoke. I attended with my 9 year old son and it was a full house +P. We met a few folks, had lunch, and then went to the Grand Rapids Rifle and pistol club. For $10 my son and I shot 300 rounds in about an hour and a half, his first time handling a pistol. He did fantastic, safety first, loaded the mags, got some great tips from the range officer, and got invited to the bb shooting league event on Saturdays. Great range, had plenty of room for everyone, I will go back. Here are my son's first (left) and last (right) targets at 25' with my M&p 22. He shot 150 rounds before he said he had enough. I was impressed and he did as well as I did with my 9mm.

A truck(or suv)can't recall the vehicle) hauling a trailer with MGO detailing on it. All I could think about was the meeting that I was going to miss and all the people I could be meeting:sad:
glad everyone had a great time and got some great shooting in. Hopefully I'll have better luck making it to the next meet-n-greet.
