I will be OC'ing in Gifford Pinchot National Forest this weekend, drinking, smoking good cigars and generally carrying on with a subdued group of like-minded Old Geezer HS Classmates from Yakima.........

Bebop, the Bothell group is a great little OC group to have coffee with. You should try to make it :D

Hi, new member here. I live in the Kenmore/Bothell area and would like to participate in some OC events, or maybe host one myself.

Can someone please let me know when/where the next OC event is?

Thank you!

Hello and welcome! We get together on the first Saturday of every month at the Den. I'll post a thread next week about it. Hope to see you there!

I'll plan on being there. It'll be my first one and I'm looking forward to it. Do people normally bring sidearms or rifles or both?

A little about me: I've carried for over 30 years, had a CPL since 1981 or so (back then it was called a "Concealed Weapons License", not a Concealed Pistol License). I'm married, and I have one son who recently enlisted in the Air Force and is awaiting orders to ship out to Basic Training. Other than that, I'm fabulously handsome, witty, and a world-class liar. ;)

I just got back from a few weeks in Cambodia, and in Cambodia only cops and the military can own or carry guns. (Of course, criminals always seem to be able to get their hands on guns.) Crime in general, however, is pretty low key, lots of petty theft but not much more. I've been there many times and always feel safe there, but I still wish I could carry. :)

Oddly enough the parking lot attendants (who are kind of like provisional police/security) carry AK47s. Not a joke, I can post some pics if you like.

Finally, is anyone interested in doing an OC event in Kenmore?

We only carry sidearms; most of us, myself included, don't feel a coffee shop is an appropriate place for long guns (particularly with the latest Moms Demanding Attention/Starbucks issue). Regarding a Kenmore meet, the best way to do it is to pick a date, time, and place and post a thread. Usually you'll get a number of people responding that they want to come, and about half show up. :D
