This sounds like something that we have been trying to organize for awhile and everyone seems interested, but we can never get it out of the planning phase.
The main reason seems to be is because NC, is basically three large regions. We have the coastal region that goes up to 95 and Rocky Mount/Wilson/Greenville area. Then we have central NC (Triangle, Smithfield, Fayetteville area. Finally the Western Region which would encompass the mountains, Charlotte, Winston-Salem, Greensboro area.
We can never get enough numbers in each region for a local gathering. I think if we get regional meetings (lunches, dinners) started or event community events, and get enough people to show up each time or just repeatedly, we could actually start a good thing.
I just do not think we could feasibly do it at a State level at this point. However, with enough "members" we could possibly start a State charter that could meet twice a year for a gathering of some type.
Also, it would be good that the goal is not to just get people used to seeing law abiding citizens with firearms, but we should also be affective to the community in the end.
What do you guys think? Am I way off here?
