HI..I'm back....
Watch the video..Can we do this?

Problems..We should have LEO support and presence. We also need media attendance.
Solutions...We need to talk with local LEO as a courtesy and to get them to be receptive of protecting our right to carry. It seems not an easy task. Since concealed carry permit holders have likely met their sheriff, I think you are the ones to initiate that contact. Don't be put off with the 1st or 2nd negative reaction. Stay on the top of their mind. The more people in any local area the better. Perhaps some sort of signed petition or statement of intent may help. I'LL SIGN. It will take some planning and meetings.
It seems meetings aren't going that well since the BBQ at Cherry Creek. Some dedication will be in order from all OCers.
Media is the other hurdle. Someone must know someone! open you phone books and root out that "someone who knows someone who has a cousin that .." Or we have to have a concerted effort to make this news worthy. Local tea parties come to mind. Again it will take some commitment and organizing from all of us. A form letter would do the job, but individual notes are far more effective in my view. Everyone just needs to be on the same page, and send their notes at about the same time. Again some meetings and communication are a must.
Do you think we can take it to that level? If not, we will be just a nearly invisible force. Still not all bad, just not as effective. I also feel there is safety in numbers, and weapons.
