Not so ridiculous as everyone here is making it out. Detroit has become a pet project for liberals; the rock-bottom real-estate makes it super-affordable to live in; is it really open-carry? That would help people feel safer moving in.
Come on, guys: Buy low, sell high is the mantra for capitalism. It’d be kinda goofy if only liberals recognized that. Is Detriot a basket-case; yes, and it has been for so long that its basket-case status has been priced in by everyone. Is Detroit ever going to be a capitol for capitalism, literally driving the American economy again? No way in hell. Is it a potentially savvy investment for some? Maybe. Can conditions for those stuck there improve? They can’t get worse.
And what kind of real estate do you own there you’re trying to sell?
Is that you, Mayor Bing?
I looked it up and was a bit surprised you can open-carry in Detroit proper. I was not surprised to read the cops *will* stop you and harass you every time “to make sure you understand the law.” (Hey Officer brainiac, I’m carrying aren’t I? Then I know the law well enough.) LEOs there are the same as everywhere else: They’ll knowingly lie to the citizens and break the law if they think they can get away with it.
I was disappointed to read Tasers are illegal in MI.
