Default Recap: Open Carry Lunch @ Warrington Uno's
Just wanted to post a recap of the reaction the other patrons had to our open carry lunch, and I quote:

"..."

Ah.. Nothing. No looks, no stares, no questions, no cops.

I had a great time, five of us showed up (six at one point), we had a nice lunch, talked about guns and bikes, and enjoyed the company of like-minded individuals.

All-in-all, we had a decent turnout, with great results; I can't wait for the group shoot in March!

Groups of people who open carry do not attract as much attention as an individual. That said, most individuals who OC don't attract that much attention either, unless their appearance or demeanor is unusual.

See my open carry blog. I have yet to have any serious issues.

Good food, great people. How can you not like a group of guys that ride and love guns. Anybody have a handlebar mount for an AR?
Jon, you don't need a car, you need a bike.
Seriously, thanks for your efforts in putting this together. I'm looking forward to the next one.

It's nice every once in a while to see one of these go off without a hitch

Is the group shoot you're talking about the one at Ready Aim Fire on 3/8?
