While out at Front Sight in Pahrump, NV a buddy of mine and I met Dave Champion - in a rather unusual way. He seemed like a helluva nice guy. We were open carrying while having dinner at El Jefe's after class one night and he came up to our table, introduced himself and his female companion, and thanked us for open carrying. He lamented that thousands of students come there every year to go to Front Sight yet he never sees any open carry. We chatted awhile. He knew our range master and said "tell Jiang Dave and Jen said hi", and so on. We had no idea who he was until we Googled his name later.
He and Jen were both open carrying by the way. His was a 1911, I didn't get a good look at hers.
