OC Black Friday Meet and Lunch 11/26/10 Discussion Thread

[ATF Consumer]

I'm all about expressing one's rights and all. Heck I OC from time to time. However its starting to feel like this OC is becoming a in your face movement more than an educational stance. What's next on the list? A pride parade down Mass Ave?

It's all about perception...

Not a bad new blurb, I thought.

Much better than the channel 6 story

You know the word is out, when my father calls and asks me about this! He only gets 1-2 channels of local news.

I sure do hope this goes off nice and smooth. It almost feels like the media is waiting for "the scoop". I keep hearing the "Dirty Laundry" song in my head when the news airs these clips. Let's just give them their choice of only 2 stories: gun owners in a positive light, or absolutely nothing to tell. So far, so good....

I don't know Mr. DeWitt, but he seems very well spoken and informed.
Good for you guys for bringing him in as your spokesperson/media contact!

We haven't talked to him, WIBC just called him, from what I understand he did not know of the event before today, that said I welcome any help he could provide.

Exactly, an INGO Advertiser.

I must be slow tonight....I'm not picking up what you're laying down....

 

[Joe Williams]

Exactly, an INGO Advertiser.

What does being an INGO advertiser have to do with anything?

 

[ATF Consumer]

I do believe we'll have more than 10 - 20 showing up...this may actually be the biggest one yet.

 

[sj kahr k40]

bwframe thinks we are unprepared for the event, he doesn't realize that I have mods from 2 sites advising me, being someone that can afford to advertise on INGO doesn't give anyone more respectability in my book.

Now everything I've heard about IndyGunSafety has been positive, I welcome any advice he can provide

The news story on the event made it sound like there'd be hundreds...

10-20 is what I was expecting before the news story, if the events get huge it's channel 6's fault

"Gun enthusiasts are being urged to bring and openly carry guns on Monument Circle the day after Thanksgiving." It's been on the news, every half hour, for most of the day.

Are you prepared for all of those who might show up?

 

[Roadie]

OK, it's been years since I've been in there, and I've heard several people mention that they sell CC badges there. Do they really???

Yes, they do, AND they are displayed prominently on their website.

Are you offering assistance?

Yes we are

I offered my assistance in the other thread. I was asked by the OP to shut up and I did.

 

[Roadie]

Yep, and the one guy in the truck actually did a face palm...it was a kodak moment, but I didn't have my camera ready.

Also for you nay sayers...while we were speaking with one individual about open carry, he clearly thought his LTCH said "concealed" on it as he said even police officers have told him that. He pulled it out in amazement about what was actually fact. So, even while protesting at Pop's, we were able to educate a legal handgun owner.

What did he say? Something like "What's wrong with cowboys??" lol
Priceless!
