Even though I said "we don't ask ahead of time" I think these posts from the previous topic on this should be considered:

Dutch Uncle: At first, I agreed it would be a good place to go, especially for the symbolism. On the other hand, I think we need to realize that the owner and his staff have been through a very disturbing event, which very few of us have been through. They might not be too pleased with 15-20 people walking in open carrying. This is one case where I think it would be wise to ask first, and not get huffy if the owner says "No thanks, fellas".


mp3mogul: I much agree. It is a traumatic event, for the shooter and for the people that work there that have been a part of this.

I don't even think that contacting the owner for an OC dinner is appropriate at this juncture, it may have a negative effect on him, and he may ban guns in the restaurant.

In doing so might it be a good idea to inform him we would like to do it in support of what he did for himself and his employees. Also let him know about OCDO and even VCDL. Who knows he may want to join up.

Doesn't matter to me, but I do have a request.

When it is finally decided, can someone in charge of such things post something like:

THE PLACE, DATE AND TIME OF THE JULY GET TOGETHER IS: **************.

That way if I or someone else is quickly scanning the posts, it will be easy to find.

Ok 1 Dinner for sure is Wing King on Va Beach Blvd.

Sat 12 July @ 1900

Glen can you post the address for the one you were talking about. I dont have a phone book handy

We need to have a dinner on the Hampton side soon,counting this one at Wing King it will be 3 in a row on the southside. So lets hook a northside brotha up..

Somebody on the Northside got a suggestion for one after the 12th

Not a bad idea - BUT - we usually have more than one a month, sometimes three a month. If the communications are not all inclusive on each post, we do have some folks ending up at the wrong place, or at least being confused. In other words it's better to post "I'll be at the "enter restaurant name" on the "enter date and time" rather than "I'm down" - right Danbus ;)

What could be hotter than immersing the new interest in an armed environment? Would be a simple way to see which way she leans right off. Either you find out you are wasting your time, or you have a whole new way to connect.

She already digs guns... she shoots stuff off the fence post from her back porch (she lives approx 30 min north of you... so you know the area!) Appreciate the concern! :lol:
