Open Carry In Detroit May Not Be Such A Good Idea

[Zappa]

Suspect who stole gun from man open carrying at Detroit gas station arrested for unrelated crime

A surveillance camera at the BP at Seven Mile and Wyoming captured the perp in a red Nike hoodie walking up behind a 53-year-old man open carrying a pistol. He yanks it from the holster, points it at the victim, and takes off running.

Tons of fail in this story.

 

[gerrycaruso]

I would never open carry and that's the other reason.

Why you need your backup gun

There's something to be said for the element of surprise.

 

[Sparky123]

Carrying concealed you have the element of surprise on your side, but with open carry, you lose that advantage.

there are many new Wayne County and Detroit firearm owners - and unfortunately they don’t have the ability to properly, legally obtain their CPLs."

Kenyatta is referring to the nearly year-long wait to get an appointment with the Wayne County Clerk to apply for a Concealed Pistol License. He and others believe that could lead to more people open carrying.

So you need a license to Concealed Carry.
You can open carry without a license.
License takes one year.
Can blame this one on "gun control"

Is open carry legal in Massachusetts?

Thinking about it just being in Detroit may not be such a good idea.

Thinking about it just being in Detroit may not be such a good idea.

There are reasons to go there - several decent breweries, great BBQ, auto museums.

Yes, it's a very High IQ move and a socially accepted practice.

You may have me on the auto museums but I drink and eat for effect and flavor. I can get good beer, booze and food without Detroit so its off my bucket list.

That’s why I open carry with an empty chamber.

Best BBQ I've ever had was in Detroit. You do realize that you're not going to get shot at just because you set foot in the city, right? It's dangerous but it's not a warzone or something.

Carrying concealed you have the element of surprise on your side, but with open carry, you lose that advantage.

So open carry a gun that shoots backwards.

or a forty

You can build good reflexive pistol retention skills but it takes full force on force training and a lot of repetition. Carrying a pistol on your hip thinking that alone will be a good deterrent is a big mistake.

I wasn't worried about getting shot by going there. Just not a fan of big cities. Bronx zoo is nice, still hate being in NY city. Great Greek food in Queens but not really worth it to me.

 

[Lank]

Anyone remember Kentucky fried movie?

NOT DETROIT!!

 

[upcountry]

Open carry says "shoot me first".

 

[Mudflap621]

Am I just seeing things or does that have like a 100 round mag in it. Also brilliant to run after the dude that just swiped ur gun.

 

[Broc]

That’s why I open carry with an empty chamber.

I can never find the video, or maybe it was an article online.

Basically, some operator dude saying he carries either 1 or 2 snap caps for when the bad guy takes his gun. There was a thread on NES about him.

Maybe the same guy working at The Gun Parlor selling high cap mags to military.

Breweries are overrated. No beer is worth going there.

 

[MisterHappy]

some things never change. See this PSA from 1977

It's just one of the things to do in the area. Or are we boycotting Michigan now?

I thought that entire area has been on the boycott list for years.

 

[MaverickNH]

"Police say when they initially put the notice for information out they already had the suspect in custody but didn't realize it because he was being held in connection with another crime. A detective saw him on the news and contacted the PIO."

Now that’s funny.

"You mean, we already caught the guy? Did we let him go yet? No? Woo-hoo!"

“What do you mean, we’re letting him go. Without charges? WTF?”

"Catch you later" has a whole new meaning these days...

I would never open carry and that's the other reason.

I open carry while hiking but if I run into a store or something I throw my shirt over it.

This is true of every major city. But I'm also not going to Detroit without a reason most likely work related.

Go see the lions... nope
Pistons... nope
Don't like hockey or baseball so those are out.

Outside of that nothing that I can't get elsewhere. So no point in going... but I say that about nearly every city
