No problem. There haven't been any recent posts from the people who said they would come on the 30th. I'm trying to keep this thread alive by posting something every day. :dude:

Sounds great. Hopefully the ones that said they were coming will read this: In order for me to scout an appropriate place to meet, I need an approximate number of people. This week I will scout a Starbucks that is on Richmond Road, it's not too far off I-75. Also, maybe get ideas for an alternate place. And get a time range on when people would like to do it because I believe most are coming from out of town. I'm in Lexington, so the time is not a major factor for me. It would help if I knew what direction people were coming in from.

Sorry, I posted that twice:cuss:Anyway, I downloaded a nice pdf from another thread (thanks to the OP) and have kind of merged the two documents into one. The sheet i have made explains KY Gun Laws on OC. I know we don't have to explain, but...I believe part of our mission is to show the public that OCer's are just regular, working folks:D

there is always Jacobson Park on Richmond Rd in lex, if there are no rules against gun carry there, i'v never looked into that so... or if a restraunt is more what your lookin for, theres a Bob Evans off of I-75 on winchester road right behind the thortans gas station, but again, havent checked to see if there are any "No Weapons" signs there either

I'm open to any meeting place, whether it be a coffee shop or restaurant. If the group that said they are coming would list a couple ideas,I would recon them for parking, seating, etc. And thenI will post the info on here by Wednesday of next week. I'm flexible, but would like to hear from all those who plan to come.

I believe there are state preemption laws for all of Kentucky for public parks. If such a sign is present at Jacobson Park, it is 100% unenforceable, unless it is privately owned.

OK. I went back through all the posts and did a count. As of May 19th I have 8th ID, Fred, langzaiguy, KyShiner85 (+2) zrukman (+1 with a serious cap gun!) So, my count is 8. Now would everyone prefer a coffe shop type place or maybe a fast food place to grab a quick bite? I've only OC'd once here in Lexington-at a Wal-Mart-which was without incident. I will be bringing copies of a paper that explains KY gun laws, etc. to give to people who are CURIOUS about OC. So, let me know as soon as you can which place you would prefer and I'll start scouting:D



BTW I'm 43, married, and have a 6 year old daughter who will soon have a pink Cricket .22. I'm originally from Bath County and I'm an active duty veteran of the US Air Force and US Army. My MOS in the Army was 11H. I was part of the 8th Infantry Division stationed in Baumholder Germany.

Cracker Barrel is just fine with me. The two here in Lexington (I think there are only two) are close to I-75, just in different parts of Lexington. So, they would be easy to find. Hopefully others will chime in and let all of us know if Cracker Barrel works.

cracker barrel sounds good to me. How about lunch time around 10ish or is this to early? This way it may be a little less of a concern for other patrons.We don't want to cause any problems. I would hate to be banned from a carcker barrel. HA HA:lol:

Like I said before, I'm flexible on the time, etc. since I live here in Lex. 10:00/10:30 or so works for me, I'd just like to hear from the people who are driving in from outside Lex. But just remember that Cracker Barrel on a Saturday will have a wait.:cuss:

Fred-where are you coming in from? Hopefully within the next week or so-people interested will give a definite that they will be here on the 30th. I will scout both the Cracker Barrel's to make sure they are not posted with weapons signs, etc. And possibly middle of next week I'll list the address of the Cracker barrel-there are two and both are located very close to I-75.
