Well,,,

My schedule has changed so I can make these again. Where are they now that SB is out of the picture?

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.

That's too bad, I had fun going to these meetings.

1 reason I stopped is because I didn't know where the new meeting location is.

Sooo,,, Now you all know the secret....
I rarely drive that far,,, but I have!!
You guys alone are a enough to restart this meet.
I would appoint Freedom1Man to lead up a restart of the meet.
I also would suggest that,,, If StarBucks is off the list of good places to spend your money??
Reposition the meet to the MickyDees right there in the same shopping center..

Eazy Peezy... Good Luck to ALL in your future Endeavors....

Them Scary Moms

So what is with the PM request? Why not just post a location and show up? Are the big bad men with guns still trying to hide from a few moms? Maybe you all should just get together for coffee and leave your guns at home so you don't have to worry about them scary moms.... Better yet, leave your guns at home and go for Happy Meals at the Micky D's next door to the Starbucks.

I'm not scared of any group showing up. With the quasi-secretive way the place and time had been posted lately made me want to ask when and where. Wanting to bring my wife and therefore kids I did not want to show up for nothing. With the lack of any response to my post I assume that no one showed up and these meets aren't happening anymore.

Big dog, I'm curious how you think leaving our guns at home is better? Or that you would even say something like that one this forum.

I used to attend the Federal Way gathering before it went to the PM to find the secret meeting place to hide from the angry moms..... The reason they went to a PM to find the location was to avoid some group of moms that would show up and protest, from what I understand from reading the complete thread..... If they don't want to face these angry moms they could leave the guns at home to avoid the conflict.....I think they should just grow up and act like real men, grow a pair for a change...... I'm more for making the carry of handguns a normal thing people do, I'm not into hiding from a few angry moms......

Have you tried reading the thread from start to finish..... you will get a better understanding.....

funny, MDA has never showed up to our meets at the Hideaway in port orchard. guess the angry moms are allergic to ferryboats and bridges, because the penninsula has been a counter protest free zone for two years...

Well,,, Wowwie,,, Sooo Sad...

This great meet lasted nearly 4 years...
It started to die last September.
The OP, gogodawgs, hid his plans behind PMs he didnt answer.
He said he would post a new location, but he didnt.
The last meet happened in December,,, He and 1 other went,,, it was a bust,,, hasn't happened since...
Sooo no January, February, March... Just didnt happen...

This really was The premier Washington state meet,
Location,,, Middle of Seattle/Tacoma, Saturday, morning, AND!!!
after coffee,,, a short walk across the parking lot, to visit a Huge Outdoorsman Super store, with guns and ammo!!!

Any of you,,, Each of you,,, Can Revive this defunct meet...

Just post, "Im gonna have coffee,, at MickyDees,,, 2nd Saturday, 9 AM,
Then Im gonna go look at frying pans, tents, ammo and Guns!!!"

Somebody,,, Just do it!

ETA the history of this meet, And the validity of my explanations are All Here in this thread!

Trying to drive down to federal way on 3 hours sleep won't work for me, However, there might be a solution to this problem. I'm seriously toying with the idea of starting a new meeting in the north-end on either the 2nd or 4th Saturday around 12:00 Noonish. It might not be the answer y'all were looking for, but it's a good start.

Does anyone know where MDA gathers? I would love to interview them for a YouTube video. I think it would be a compelling video, since I would be interviewing them while open carrying.

they might not talk to you, or they'll just use your video to grandstand about crazy open carriers. I would love to see the video, but don't expect good content if you approach them with a gun. I wouldn't put it past them to phone in a false police report.

They may pull a Mike Malloy on you
