NWFA Dinner Meet - Izzy's Pizza - June 6th, 2009

[AndyH]

I am there, anyone who lives in the Salem/Keizer area that want to car pool?

 

[Joe Link]

Guys, please don't turn this thread into an OC vs CC debate. If someone wants to call ahead and check with the manager as to whether or not we'd get kicked out, that's fine with me.

 

[westernsky20]

I plan on coming
mark

 

[emanon]

I will most likely be there!

 

[capdek]

Count me in for sure. And I hope I'll have a new Wilson Combat Professional 1911 to CC instead of my ugly Glock 19. I wouldn't want to be an easy mark for Weebs now would I!

 

[Joe Link]

The list has been updated

I would like to come to this - is there a Wally World nearby I can use as an RV park for the night? Or something else nearby?

Yep, there's a WalMart just down the street

OpenCarry.Org holds events frequently, and has had the absolute opposite experience. Your statements ring of 'blood in the streets', and are not backed by actual experience or fact.

Can you be sure to post that here in the events section next time they have one in the PDX area? I'm still a little sketchy about OC, though I support the cause 100%. I'd really like to attend one of these in order to get myself more accustomed to it.

Going to post this just to be thorough.

If you do decide to open carry, even though it's perfectly legal, more comfortable, and tactically efficient, try to leave the gear at home.

Definitely try to avoid the drop legs. I know, it sucks. I work (Security/Military contractor) mon-thurs and I'm always wearing my serpa for training. But it's not a good idea to prance about in tactical gear. Keep it on the belt. "High and Tight" if you will.
Don't blouse your boots. Unless you're in uniform, anyway.
And above all, do NOT remove your sidearm at the dinner table to show to the guy sitting next to you!

"Gun nut" isn't what we're looking for. Average guys, out to eat. Just so happens they have a gun.

I'll meet up if I am in town (might be traveling to tacoma) Would be good to put some faces to internet identities.

I agree with what you say. My idea of OC is a simple leather OWB holster, with a t-shirt behind it.

And pardon my ignorance, but what does 'blouse your boots' mean? I cannot help but think of a pair of combat boots wearing low-cut frilly pink shirts.

 

[gunnoob75]

By either tucking your pants into your boots (Jungle boots, desert boots, jump boots...), or by using "Blousing Straps"

 

[Weebs]

If you've met joe you'd know that he's always prancing around in his tu tu and combat boots. Here's a picture from the last NWFA meet.

 

[thelendog]

I'm in! It'll be fun to put faces to usernames! :woot:

 

[Joe Link]

Are you and Adrian going to make it out Joe?

 

[gunnoob75]

I don't see any reason why not.

Can I still wear my aviator sunglasses, high and tight 'do, and my Ranger/Special Forces/Navy Seals/Sniper tee shirt?
