jim deros72,
reillo584 Ed,
just us, rode his harley and had damp pants,
ca2373 catherine,

Cant think of any others,,, hope I was complete...!

Enough of us knew a way to find out about the location that we were able to find it without trouble.
All of the hand shakes I got and/or gave were of the standard type,,, It all seemed,,, sooo normal.
Nobody brought rifles, drop leg/thigh rigs, or arm pit/pointing out the back at everybody type thingys.
The wait staff and all the other patrons did their business, smiled and carried on, almost as if,
we were just a bunch of regular folks that like to visit, yack, and enjoy some caffinated beverages
in the morning, just gearing up to go out in the world, and have a grand old time!

We have had the anti group Mom's Demand Action stalk our location in the past. For this month I am not posting public for that reason.

Interesting, grown men caring guns are afraid of a few Moms, I'm glad you are hiding if that's the reason....lolololol Haha haha!

Is this the normalizing you're looking for?

Well,,,

I'll be there about 8:30, my new home defense is arriving......
It is battle proven,, its been known to bring down a chopper!!!

Anyhooo,,, time for my report. 11/9/13

Sooo, we all know I hate to get up so early,
so I just tricked myself and all the rest by simply staying up all night!

Arrived at Lowes,,, ONE second!!! behind Squeak, parked my car, got in his..

Got to the secret location, shared the secret hand shakes, went to get a beverage.
Paid with a 2$ bill, an Eisenhower dollar, a Kennedy half and 3 gold presidents...
Watched with glee as my money was inspected as if it was from outer space!

Attendees were,
Deros72/ jim, with his lovely guest
bill starks/ M1gunner
EMNofSeattle/ eric
ca2373/ catherine
Just us
JimBob
Squeak/ squeak/ larry
and me/ bob

After a while we went shopping, I got 10% off on a box of 45s.
When I got back to Belfair, I went shopping again, just the basics, booze and bread...
Got home at noon..

A pretty exciting day for me.

I MIGHT do it again someday,,,, if jim ever stops teasing me about broken guns...:D

So, after we all left, I went over to McDonald's and the first thing I saw when I walked in was another OC'er. I mentioned to him that he just missed a pretty sweet OC coffee meet. I asked of he knew of opencarry.org, he had never even heard of it! Anyway, we chatted for a minute and he is going to check it out. Maybe he will join OCDO?

Catherine and I had a nice cup of coffee.

In keeping with the spirit of endless nitpicking and useless debate. We did not share a cup of coffee. I had a peppermint hot chocolate and gogodawgs had a black drip coffee with nothing in it. (Yuck! how can anyone drink that cr@p!) However the conversation was a bit dull because NO ONE ELSE SHOWED UP and I was only half awake.

BigDave I think you are right on as to what anyone with half a brain and most of their manhood is thinking, you are just the only one with Big Enough Balls to say it. Thank You and Three cheers to you......

Starbucks was never really out of the picture. The meetings still took place there nothing changed except that people thought there weren't going to be any meetings there anymore then fewer and fewer people actually showed up and now I think it's dead because no one is going anymore. At least if they are going they aren't posting it on here that they went. Oh well.
