Um, the reporter was open carrying and then transitioned to conceal carry - so, she has a permit to conceal??

Hey everyone. Sorry I didn't get to finish the day with y'all. My left lung collapsed. It was a close call, but I'm home now. I had to go through the most painful surgery ever without being put to sleep. Now, under the doctors orders, off my feet for the next month. This is gonna suck.

Anyway, I appreciate everyone that come out. Jonathon and I got the location put together close to the deadline but it worked out great. It wasn't a huge win for us but it was a success indeed. I hope some more people have started to realize what we're trying to do and decide to support their rights as well. Again, I wanted to thank everyone that came out and I can't wait for the next get together!

BTW: Jonathon.... David.... I had to secure my weapon for the ambulance ride and one of you have my magazines. LOL Let me know how to get those back. LOL Thanks! -Tim

Good to hear from you. Take it easy for that month. We have plenty of time to do get-togethers later.

So, what happened? Did LifeSouth tap the air in your lungs instead of the blood in your veins?

Also, as soon as my wife gets back from the pharmacy, I'll start uploading the pictures and videos. They should be finished in the early AM hours due to the fact I will be so medically drugged, I'll forget.

Just keep an eye out for the post! Thanx people!

No, they didn't do that. Actually they might have, the doc is 50% unsure why it happened. He also said no more smoking for me... that's the other 50%. LOL

I was on the way to Hoover Tactical and I couldn't breathe. I thought I was having a heart attack. I arm, shoulder, chest, ect. was in terrible pain.

To make things worse, the limited time I was in the sun... my face, and my entirehead have 2ND degree burns from the sun. OUCH! What a day. :uhoh:

So, you gonna take the doc seriously and give up the smokes? I don't want to be preachy, but I hope so. I'm clean for 11 years now. And, there ain't nuthin' worse than a holier-than-thou ex-smoker! ;)

Yeah. I'm going to try. It will be hard because I'm a coffee drinker and I love a smoke with coffee. Out of the 6 prescriptions, he gave me a nicotine patch to help me out. Don't know how much good it'll do, but worth a shot.

Starbucks Sundays will never be the same. Open Carry, Coffee, Friends, and..... no more smokes? UGH!

So did you ever find Hoover tactical and meet with David and Jonathon?

Yeah. We don't have the terabytes necessary to completely relate the story. But, I finally got there.

With your phone bouncing all over the place, I never knew who I was going to talk to. Sorry if one of my calls caught you at a really bad time.

No it was fine. Trust me!You kept my mind off the baseball bat sized IV needle going into my arm while an ambulance rushed hit every bump in the road.
So did you but anything worth OCing while you where there?
