Anyone bashing my right to carry how ever I choose under the law would not like my response, much like the district manager didn't like my response, and much like the so-called manager at that IHOP that asked me to leave witll most certainly not like the response she's getting.



On SigForum, we simply don't do that junk.

After the Tony's Pizza OC incident earlier this year where 7 VCDL members were mistreated by the Manassas PD, VCDL took action with a large number of us testiying at the Manassas City Public Hearing about the Manassas City Police Dept's gross lack of professionalism and knowledge of open carry in eating establishments in Virginia. Afterward about 20 of us went to the IHOP near the Manassas City limits and had no problems with the IHOP staff. Most of us were open carrying at IHOP and the staff gave us good service. After the second Manassas Hearing, again VCDL members went to the same IHOP and had another good OC experience.

The letter you wrote is flat out awesome, it could almost be the model letter for such situations.

Sorry. For obvious reasons, it's not practical for me to post the details of this issue everywhere it's being addressed.

I posted the link to the full details - which are being updated on the SigForum. If you want the complete story, that's where you'll find it. Is there some reason you don't think you can click on the link and read it there?

I guess in this world of cut and paste I didn't think it was a big deal if you were already posting over here. I did go over to the Sig forum and read your posts but I don't frequent that forum and wanted to make sure I heard the conclusion of your IHOP woes.:p

Practical enough to field comments from multiple boards, but not practical enough to actually particpate in other boards' discussions... : (

I don't own a sig, and don't feel comfortable there, but if you'd be willing to post it on xdtalk.com I'd gladly follow the discussion there if you don't feel like updating this one. > )

I was courteous enough to advise you of the thread because it concerns open carry. If that's not good enough for you guys - no problem - it won't happen again.

I love the website that you started btw, and used it for my trip down to Orlando extensively to print out stuff before I left... I just meant it'd be nice if you stuck around here instead of having the users here have to chase you back to the sig board (and register if they wanted to comment or ask questions). No offense was meant, hopefully none was taken.

Steve, you letting a comment from one poster affect your decisions?

Even I gave you kudos. Keep all of us informed.

Don't let one person's sour grapes prevent you from spreading the word. It is greatly appreciated.
