One hour after the event ended, our first news story about the breakfast at Beverly's...

In the video (need time to edit, then I'll post it), I count about 40 people plus 5 media people. Great turnout! There are a couple of photos with the story on newsok.

Sir, we learned from the best here at OCDO. I studied this website extensively before I ever decided I supported open carry for Oklahoma. I even planned my vacation around open carry. Went to NV to see it and to do it firsthand. Came back to Oklahoma and got to work putting together a group.

Here we are today.

Super guys...hope all stays well for you. I think you went into a lot of prep work that is going to help in the long run. Good publicity helps too. The General public will learn, OC weapons in the hands of the common citizen are no more scary than those in the lands of LE (actually less scary to everyone that abides the law....Carry on.
