Guest Hal Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 How many people here would be down for an open carry meet this summer? I haven't thought too much about dates and places but, I think it would be nice to get like-minded responsible gun owners together for some food, drinks, and exercise of constitutional rights.

Guest Spam Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Meet....like a demonstration? That would the only reason for something like this. To inform more people about the gun laws, and the importance of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copperhead Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 I would be down if it doesn't interfere with my horrid work schedule. And honestly, this may end up being a bad idea if there aren't a large number of people joining in. Two or three people would probably bring the cops down hard, but 20-30 would change things.

copperhead Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Not that I'm suggesting there be any intimidation. It would just show a difference between a couple people that could be up to no good versus an actual group of open carry advocates. Oh, having flyers to hand out would probably be a good idea too.

I agree, it needs to be a big group. I wouldn't be interested in anything less than 20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copperhead Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Sounds like a good number. Do you have some sort of place in mind? If its a food meet up, it needs to be some place that does not serve alcohol, which makes things a bit difficult. Especially since sitting on a patio would be real nice. Also, once a place has been nominated it would be best to speak with their management for permission to have this meet up. This way, we won't be asked to leave immediately. Make sure this is a positive thing. Unless of course you are talking about something that is more of a march than a meet up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowflake Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Could anyone go even if they dont carry? I know some people would just like to feel safe in public for once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unfunnyryan Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Could anyone go even if they dont carry?

STEVE-O Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 I would highly suggested leaving drinks out of the equation. But this sounds like a good idea and I would bet no matter what the cops would come show up and hassle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bam Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 (edited) Why must it be such a large group? If anything I think that would be a negative for this type of situation. Edited May 25, 2011 by Bam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verse Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 I'm sure I could make it out. I'd perfer some sort of BBQ, maybe at one of the metroparks? They recently just sent out a letter saying OC is okay in the metroparks, so a little educational as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would just show a difference between a couple people that could be up to no good versus an actual group of open carry advocates. Oh, having flyers to hand out would probably be a good idea too. This assumption, that anyone alone open carrying has to be up to no good, is one of the most important reasons for having the meet/demonstration in the first place. Anyway, I am somewhat interested. 50% not sure if I would go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this sounds like a good idea and I would bet no matter what the cops would come show up and hassle Sorry, I wasn't clear on the drinks. By drinks, I meant lemonade, water, etc... I think Bob Evans is supposed to be carry friendly I had heard that before. I hadn't really thought if it would be better to do a restaurant thing or a cookout somewhere else. I'll keep an eye on the interest and if we get enough I'll look into something a little more solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hwilli1647545487 Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 I saw a guy open carrying in WV this weekend. Scared me so bad I shot him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImUrOBGYN Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 I saw a guy open carrying in WV this weekend. Scared me so bad I shot him. lol Happy Bday, tomorrow, btw. Can I go if I no longer own a firearm? I can bring a pellet rifle and conceal my slingshot. Come get some! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hal Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Pretty strong interest so far. Looks like we have 10-15 people who may be down. I'm including those of you who would not be carrying. There's no reason you shouldn't be able to support your rights with everyone else. I'm thinking a weekend cookout at a Westerville park (Sharon Woods, Alum Creek Park, etc...).

macpyro2 Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Im absolutely down. It would probably be a good idea to notify the local police about this, just so nobody gets butt hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis Nice Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Down + 1-3 more if done right. Looks like it's definitely headed that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrodh Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Anyway we can get some press on this? That would really help make a statement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
