Well, it's almost been a year already, and it's high time we had ourselves another shindig. The meetups in SoCal have been hugely successful, with very impressive turnouts. Looking back just one year, only a fool could deny the progress we have made! It is very exciting and fulfilling to know I was part of this. Due to some personal issues, I've been less active in practicing open carry the past 6 months, and I feel the need to do more... so I've again volunteer to plan and coordinate this event.
What: Second Annual California Open Carry Dinner
When: Saturday, April 18, 2009 at 5:30 PM
Where: specific location TBA, but will be in Sacramento
Please RSVP no later than April 1 by private message through this forum! If for some reason you selected 'maybe,' please PM me with a message to that effect. Last year the 'maybe' crowd made up for the no-shows and cancellations, so please don't be discouraged if you simply can't promise to attend. The poll above is just to let everybody else know what they're going to be missing out on... you have to PM me if you want to attend.
Last year it wasn't on Patriots' Day weekend, but it certainly was an historical day - the first semi-formal meeting of great patriots from all corners of the state. Whether you were there or not, feel free to enjoy the stories and pictures of free men found in this thread. Heretofore I propose that we have this annual meetup on Patriots' Day weekend (the civic holiday is actually the 3rd Monday of each month, but that's a tough day to plan events on). It just seems fitting.
Anybody wishing to show their support for Open Carry is welcome to attend, even if you don't wish to carry. (IIRC, we had 7 armed last year, with 13 total in attendance.) All you have to do is RSVP by PMing me your e-mail address, and I'll make sure you get the details and a friendly reminder about a week in advance. Once I know how many to expect, I will make a reservation at a suitable restaurant. Details will be distributed much in the fashion they were last year.
If you know a good restaurant that can accomodate a large group on a Saturday night, please PM me the name & address of the business. This year, I'm not too worried about school zones. Last year it limited our options way too much. So, this year we all just may have to keep our firearms locked up until we get onto the private property where we'll be dining. Assume this is the case unless told otherwise - I don't want anybody violating 626.9 on the way to/from the event.
The time I picked is arbitrary, as I feel last time it was just way too much work to try to get a concensus. I hope that with 5 weeks notice we can all get the day off work and rearrange other obligations.
