First Northern Michigan Picnic a Success

MCRGO and its allied gun groups put on their first northern Michigan joint picnic this past weekend at Northland Sportsmen's Club at Gaylord under the organizational structure of the Michigan House of Representatives Second Amendment Caucus. We hoped for 80 members at the event and had a turnout of 90-100. We had excellent weather for the pistol and rifle events. Thank you to everyone who attended, the club's leadership and volunteers, the range safety officers, and the attorneys who participated in the Q&A panel along with Rep. Phil Green (R-Millington), Rep. Ken Borton (R-Gaylord), and Rep. Dave Martin (R-Davison).
