and then ClumsyCandy saidAfter action report:
Great breakfast interaction - best in weeks and the coffee was hot!
ClumsyCandy and her "traveling companion" made our day. Good to meet you both - you make a nice couple. I really believe that women OCing are our best public relations tool and today the WH was graced with a pair of those strong, independent self-reliant souls.
As you two left, you missed the highlight of the day - four pairs of eyes followed your departure all the way to your vehicle. One of the ladies suggested that "she must be a police officer." I spoke up and simply replied. "She's not."
The lady looked down & saw mine and said, "Can you do that here?" That opened up a very positive exchange - they were from Delaware and we discussed the differences of the laws between the two states.
Before we departed, everybody in the WH knew that there were four people OCing there today. Stand up conversations, trips to the restrooms and paying at the counter pretty well insured that and there was not the first negetive word expressed.
Best compliment of the week received from a very tall gentleman in the booth opposite me when he asked what type of gun I was carrying and said it was the prettiest he had ever seen.
The interaction, the opportunity to show the public that we are indeed the good guys and gals is a primary reason for having these breakfast meet-ups. That and everybody needs to eat anyhow - and I ain't going to do it naked.
That's awesome Grapeshot! Thanks for the heads up! I was aware of looks I was getting, but that, wow really that's awesome! And thanks for the clarification in my absence!
More people should join our breakfasts, it really was good, and getting the googly eyes always makes my day : ). :what:
And Grape, your gun is lovely! :lol:
followed by me saying
which got meDrat!
The one Saturday I decide to go and attend a gun training session new and exciting people come out of the woodwork and show up for breakfast. If it were not for the fact that I'm paranoid I'd think it was a conspiracy or that everybody just hates me.
Glad that Grapeshot is finally geting to meet new people - maybe he will decide to get some table manners.
so I'm going to set aside my paranoia and just accept the fact that you are all out to get me.They heard that you'd be out of/on the range so they felt safe coming out.
My manners must have been tolerable as got more than :shock: or :X.
But in spite of that, I'm going to go out to breakfast Saturday morning. Hope to see you at IHOPs - we'll be in the back room. Look for the table with lots of coffee.
stay safe.
