> I am a proud member of americans who enjoy my 2nd amendment rights, and posess a Concealed Carry Weapons permit issued in Michigan. I am prone to exercise my right to bear arms openly in hot weather, and was shopping in a grocery store (Meijers) when I was detained, cuffed and searched, relieved of my weapon, and removed to a private security office. I was released after much discussion regarding the Bill of Rights. Three days later, again shopping in Meijers, I was stopped by the policce and asked to accompany them to the office again. Relived of my weapon, searched, and then told by store personnel that I am banned from all Meijer stores and property, nationwide. The next day I was arrested for weapons offenses/other, and booked, without a Miranda Warning. I was not interrogated by the arresting officer, however I was asked by the booking officer to explain exactly what I had done. I merely said, "exercised my rights under the 2nd amendment. I have carried in public for many weeks since my CCW was issued, and never had a proble. I feel that it is unfortunate that ignorance of our rights and the law, threatens the very fabric of this great nation. We must all stand to defend those rights - all of them - wether we agree with them or not. We are americans, and while not perfect the most free nation on the earth.

The wild west. that's where it started. gun control started in the wild west. waaaay before any of us were born. people could not control them selves. mixing booze and guns and acting stupid started it all, it has carried on to this day. when people get out of control, the politco look for saloutions. disarming the citizenry is the first thing they do. inside of town or city linits. it is getting as crazy today as it was back then. still not as lawless, but out of control. out of control = gun control. always has always will. untill some one comes up with a more consructive saloution, this is the way it is going to remain.
