Good Evening:

I was referred to this forum from another gun group I belong to. I just read today's Virginia Pilot and they mentioned a group in Virginia Beach that supports open carry and gets together monthly for dinner at local restaurants.

Is there a schedule that is available? I'm new to the area and would like to meet a few folks and lend my support.

Thanks for your time.

Welcome to the forum, Doc!

The topic stays pretty near the top, just look for OC dinner/lunch or similar titles.

I've only been able to attend one event so far, and it was very enjoyable. Good bunch of folks 'round here!



BTW, what kinda rig do you like to sport when you're out and about?

Hey Doc,

Keep an eye out for "Tidewater OC Dinner [month]". There's no set schedule I can tell, just whenever people are able to coordinate a time/place. Both locations and times seem to change to accomodate the groups varing schedule. I've only been able to make one so far myself.

Here is the lastest thread for this month:

Hi DocV welcome aboard. We get together about ever 2-3 weeks. The last get together was on the Southside so the next one will probably be in Hampton. Hope to see you there.

I hope DocV doesn't mine me jumping in here too but I'm a newbie from Virginia Beach as well and would love to hit the next Tidewater dinner as well.

Welcome. The one held this past tuesday was my first dinner as well. Great turn out with great people. Loved hearing people's stories and experiences adn thoughts on certain subjects. You won't be out of place, I can promise you that. I was probably the only one that didn't OC at the dinner and that's because I just came frm class. Nonetheless, the next one will definitley be on the other side of the water since the last one as in VA beach

The dinners are a good time. I wish I could make it to more of them.

If you are new here, where you from?

PCS'd here from Mayport, Fl 7 months ago, just in time to do a 6 month deployment. We got back a few weeks ago so I'm just learning the area.

Send a note to Leadership@vcdl.org and they will send that on to some folks a bit more local to you.



Also, if you have not done so yet, you need to sign up for the VA-Alert at the www.vcdl.org web site. Great newsletter and it is FREE!

DocV, what'd you do in Mayport? Its the best kept secret in the Navy! I was at an HSL there from 00-04.

By the way, I'm working in Cheesypeake this weekend. I'd be more than happy to meet ya before or after a game and grab a bite to eat.

Welcome!

I hate to admit my ignorance, but I'm still learning the area. I can get from home to the base, but not much more.
