Congratulations on a successful meet 'n greet.
In Richmond Va. we have a long standing 2nd Tuesday of each month OC dinner.
We are always open to suggestions but never put it to a vote as to where we eat - it takes too long and you can never satisfy everybody. We operate as an unofficial committee/sponsor. Others are welcome to set up/run their own meet-up if they wish - more than one is good - Va. has at least 3 of which I am aware. Ours has from 10 to 20+ each month. Encourage guests and newbies.

We also do an much more informal OC breakfast each Sat AM.
Select a location that you have checked out/tested as OC friendly - never ask permission. Announce the time and place, request confirmation and enjoy. If you build it they will come.
Yata hey

We had a short discussion about Chapel Hill open carry and thier 6'' requirement.
A compact Glock (23) has a 7'' long slide, and if you measure to the angle of the backstrap, then it is 6.2''.
So you can OC a Compact Glock and I'm sure other brands as well.

Ok, I know we have not officially stated where the next event will be, but we may also want to remember to figure out how to recognize each other. Since it may be cold, and many of us have CCP, we may be wearing jackets and it may not be possible to just identify by looking... correct, Dreqo?

True. I found yelling "Hey! Is that legal?!" at anyone with a lump on their hip to be a effective tactic lol.

New folks: don't let that joker DreQo fool you, the standard uniform hat is required for entry at all our events. Buy yours online and allow 2-3 weeks for delivery.

Ok, we are quickly approaching our next meeting, two weeks. Are we definitely on for Arby's or is that still up for discussion? Don't keep me waiting...
Oh yeah, my girl said for you all to start bringing your spouses so she does not feel like the odd wheel.

I'll see if my wife is up for it.
Actually, I know she'll be interested; it's just whether she'll feel like it at the end of a six-day work week.
My real problem will be: how to get her a holster on short notice for her new Christmas revolver so she can OC, too, without running afoul of the CC laws that apply to car carry, since she doesn't yet have her CHP.
Guess I could carry it for her in the car (I have my CHP), then give it to her once we exit the vehicle. If you see a woman strapping on a gun in the parking lot, don't call the cops: that's us.

Hi Fahrenheit,
I know of no law that says you can't OC in your car. Just have her strap it on OC style or lay it on the seat.
I am sure other posters will chime in on this as well.
Regards.

Call up the guys over at Gunners Alley
http://www.gunnersalley.com/
They will probably be able to get you a holster pretty quick if they dont already have one in stock...plus they are local (across from the amtrak station/pure gold in Cary)
