Description: MOC is the premier organization in Michigan promoting the lawful open carry of a holstered handgun. We also seek to enhance other gun rights related to carry for self-defense. We were formed in March of 2009. MOC was started by a group of people on the Michigan Forum of opencarry.org (OCDO). OCDO was started by John Pierce and Mike Stollenwerk in 2004. These men are responsible for revitalizing the growing practice of the open carry of a handgun. Michigan is one of the fastest growing states in regards to the practice of open carrying a handgun. The open carry movement is growing in the U.S., much like the Concealed carry movement has in the last 10 years.
