All, the Richmond OC monthly Dinner has run its course. This local dinner began approximately 18 years ago with a small group of like-minded individuals that truly bought into the idea of this Forum and promoted Open Carry. After a few months the late Dale, Paul and Don joined the group and caused it to grow where we averaged around 30 OC’ers monthly, with a peak of 126 at the Fuddruckers dinner. We truly miss those three amigos. Since those hey days the group has continued on for many years with a smaller core group of close friends that still meets monthly to bi-monthly. This core group has continued to post this recurring dinner on OC.org to invite any who would be interested in joining us, but it has been a very long time since a new comer has broken bread with us. Because of this lack of new interest the few of us that remain have decided to “play taps” for this once great dinner and put it to rest on the forum.

The current group of Open Carry friends will continue to meet bi-monthly to carry on the OC tradition and enjoy our friendships and comradery, where we discuss current gun issues, the latest firearm acquisition, and what’s going on in our lives. Others will always be welcome to join us, but we’ll not be posting this dinner on OC.org going forward. Should anyone be interested in joining us please send me or others that have posted this dinner a PM and we’ll let you know when and where the next dinner will be.

Thank you for the note.

Bummer!

I had come down your way to meet Dale, and later to attend his wake. I had hoped to make it to a dinner one of these days when the weather got better, but life has intruded.

In the meanwhile, I've been watching the "Four Boxes Diner" channel on YouTube (NYSRPA v Bruen is great stuff, as is the channel generally), and am similarly looking forward to better weather to OC again.

Thanks again.

That's what sometimes happens when we think "one of these days, I need to... whatever".
