I got confirmation that Sheriff Danny Diggs is going to attend. :)

I'll create a list of attendees & headcount as we get closer.



Edited: for the life of me I can't spell Shhhherrrrrifff correctly!!!

Yes, the back room holds 40-45 so if we go over that the late comers will need to spill over into the main dining area. I fully expect us to max out the back room.

I have also extended an email-invitation to Brenda Pogge Delegate, 96th District to see if she wanted to join us this dinner or another. She had emailed me personally after receiving my email in support of her bill. (I like that it wasn't some canned response and I like her bill letting people keep guns stored in their cars in parking lots)

With an historic response like this, maybe we should reserve the main room of the restaurant and let the regular diners use the back room!!!

(And by the way, my experience with Brenda Pogge is that she is really with us all the way. She doesn't mince words and what you see is what you get.)

As we got closer I was going to call the restaurant with a headcount and let them decide what would be best. If it works out that they are willing to let us do what you suggest and still be all together than so be it.

Hey all, new to the forum (been lurking a while). I'd like to attend as well. I've always been a CCer, 8 years in Utah and now waiting on one here. I figure this would be a great place to get over the initial OC jitters.

Welcome to the forum. If you have your Utah concealed carry permit it should be good here in VA. http://www.handgunlaw.us/states/virginia.pdf See you at the dinner.

Here is the headcount so far.
40 plus 7 maybe's so far and a little over 2 weeks to go!

I called the restaurant and they told me the back room can hold as many as 60 people (although tightly).If more people confirm I will try to see if they will sit us together in the main restaurant.

I encourage people to attend just please confirm so I can give TCG an accurate headcount.

No permit required to OC in Virginia - you're good to go.

That should be 2 for 6L6GC since my wife will also be coming to the dinner.
