I just watched a YouTube video of an open carrier in Michigan being pulled over and detained and harassed by cops who thought it was illegal for him to carry openly because he had a CCW. Unbelievable. Anyway, the video was posted by a group called "Michigan Open Carry, Inc." Apparently, they are a group that exists solely to promote open carry in their state and to organize regular open carry events to test the state's laws and educate the public and police about their right to carry openly. I've seen a lot of ad hoc postings for various OC dinners, etc. on this forum, but is there an actual organization in VA dedicated just to promoting open carry in a more systematic way, like with regular OC events (not just dinners at OC friendly restaurants) in Arlington, Fairfax, etc. (where cops and the public *really* don't know OC is legal)?
