I may be there. I made the last two NN tea parties but didn't know about this one until you posted it.

Me and my nephew should be there. Looking at the map there seems to be so much National Park land around that I don't believe we can carry there. Anyone know if we can carry?

I always read about MSC 45ACP walking there so I assumed the anwer is yes but that may be a bad assumption. I'll PM him and see if he is familiar with the area.

The area in question is EXACTLY where Bridget and I OC several evenings a week. I think we'll both be there. I'm sure if Pagan is back in town, he'll come too. Let's make it an OC KINDA DAY!
The food at the Pub down the street is really good. I like giving small businesses like that my business. The same owners own the Boardwalk Something or other next door. I've heard the food at the restaurant on the water in the Commons is decent but a bit pricey. The Pub is more my speed. \
We look forward to seeing y'all in "our hood".

Philip's talk was excellent!
He was well received by the audience(about 100 by the time we moved into the tent to get out of the rain), most of whom sported orange "Guns Save Lives" stickers.
No press present that I could see.
While walkingback to my car, I overhearda young woman, relating the events of the day to someone via cell phone,commenting on thewelcomestatements of the "gun rights people".

That was a pretty good TEA party despite the rain.
Philip did a great job talking about rights in general and did a great job representing gun owners as freedom loving Americans rather than right-wing extremists.
I had to leave after Philips talk so fill me in on anything else interesting that happened. I got home to cook steaks on my grill only to find my gas tank expired a few minutes into them. I would have bet $50 that my backup tank in the garage was full but to my surprise it wasn't. So we ate corn on the cob and pasta salad while the steaks "broiled".
It was nice to see more OC-ers out at the TEA party. I met a guy names Wes that is a VCDL member and this is the second time I recommended he join Opencarry.org. I met a few familiar faces and one or two new faces. Aretired-Navy OC-er said hi but it was during someones speech so we didn't get a chance to chat much. For the new faces, try to catch up with the rest of us at the OC dinners.

I'ld have to say my favorite part was during the discussion of whether law enforcement or military would assist the govt confiscate weapons. Someone said that the polled-marines said that not only would they NOT confiscate weapons that they would also shoot anyone that gave them that order. The whole tent erupted (and I mean ERUPTED) in a loud cheer!

I really enjoyed that part too! Sadly, I had to leave shortly after you did. Bridget's sunburn was really bothering her and my back was a bit sore. I'm sorry I didn't get to talk to Phillip after his speech. Someone mentioned Oath Makers.com and I corrected them to OATHKEEPERS.org.
When it first started raining, Bridget and I were sitting in the grass (I was in my chair, she on the grass). A very nice woman came up and offered Bridget an umbrella. She accepted and the lady sat next to Bridget. When we got up to go to the tent, she said to Bridget "Thank you for letting me sit with you, I feel much safer with you here". We both smiled at the lady. Phillip had given us both "GUNS save lives" stickers a few minutes before that. Saw lots of other folks OCing, including another speaker besides Phillip.
I wish I could have stayed longer. It was a great time!

So, how was it?
I couldn't make this one, but I might be in Yorktown this weekend.
