My dad and I have both bought holsters from them.
Though, they were shipped to Charlotte because of my dad :banghead:.
Good prices and nice people.



The OC meeting is coming up in TWO days.  Hope to see everyone there.

I'll be heading out in a few minutes.
I'm in a gray VW hatch, and wearing a black 'ball' cap.

Dang, I just stumbled onto this site for the first time and I'm apparently two hours late to meet up here in Raleigh.  I'm definitely in next time you guys meet!

There were 7 people there tonight as well.  It was fun.  NO issues with OC there.

This needs EVERYONE'S attention.  The next schedule meeting is Feb 14th, which is Valentines day.  This will probably be an for those of us with significant others.

I propose that we change the date for this meeting to the FIRST week of February.
This would be February 7th.

Is that acceptable to everyone?

I'll see if I can make that one.  I'm conducting some business out that direction anyway, so if things are ready by then it would be convenient. :D

I don't know if I would call that a milkshake.  That was really some slightly melted ice cream.

He was looking out for me, since my jalapeno popper decided to explode on my shirt. Thanks for having my back. :lol:

That was a good meet-up.  I'm on board for February 7th.  I recall others having issues at various Waffle House restaurants within the state and have read they as a corporation take issue with firearms.

There are two Waffle Houses in the area.  One is on Capital Boulevard by 440 and another is by RDU.

I'd like to suggest we put the Waffle House on our list of places to visit, and will leave the scheduling to others.

Just to add...there's an additional Waffle House right off of I-440 on Hillsborough Street near Meredith College and NC State Univ.  I'm not sure whether or not that would be a more convenient location for those coming into town from the south or west.

I recommend that we eat at the Hillsborough Street Waffle House on February 7th.  If someone would like to have this at a different location I am fine with that.  I am not the sole discression on where we eat.  There is a Capitol Blvd location, Cary location, and another Raleigh location

 Waffle House
(919) 833-1247
3909 HILLSBOROUGH ST
RALEIGH, NC 27607

 

Then I recommend that we eat at:  : on March 14th

Charley's Grilled Subs @http://www.charleyssteakery.com

2526 Hillsborough St
Raleigh, NC 27607
(919) 828-1006

This is a location directly across from NCSU.  I would like for this to be the biggest turn-out that we have had.  This stems greatly from comments made by the NCSU police chief.  We WILL NOT be on campus, just across the street.

Those places work for me, although I'm not a big fan of the food at either one :P

I do like waffle house myself, and Charley's has a decent Philly Steak and Cheese.

There are better places to eat, but they serve alcohol.  I am fine with going to Cracker Barrel in April.

I guess you have to ask yourself what the purpose of OC Meets are.  Is it to thumb the noses at businesses who "take issue with firearms", and cause a legal fuss?  Or is it to show the community that people who carry firearms are normal folk who just happen to carry guns?

Cause it seems to me, those two goals work at cross purposes. 

If y'all want to focus on going to businesses who have been reported as firearms-hostile, or to locations where you're tweaking the nose of law enforcement, that's certainly your right.   It's just not what I'm interested in.

We select locations on people preference, and based on establishments that are both pro-carry (don't care) or anit-carry (make a fuss).  We have now met at one of each of the above categories.  In general, it doesn't matter where we go, as it is 100% legal.  People generally fear what they don't know, and we can help educate others. 

The two purposes your proposed do not have to work against eachother.  There is also the fact that not all managers behave the same way, even on subsequent visits.  There were no problems or negative comments made at the last meeting at Arby's.  I'm KNOW we will visit establishments/ management that feel in polar opposite manners throughout our OC dinners.
