Works for me. Can you ask Dreamer if he wants to go? A few more OCers would be nice. I'll drive everyone on this trip.

Be careful. At an OCDO meet up at Parkers last Fall, we had not 1, not 2, but 3 gun toting OCer groups totally miss each other sitting in 3 different locations. You may want to use a table tent to identify you so one is not walking around, with a sidearm, looking at the hips of those sitting down.

Yeah it usually is not too hard to spot an OCDO group.

yeah.. Northerner hit this one. At an event I was putting together, we ended up having 3 separate groups (someone came the week after, thats why we had 3).

matt, I'll talk with dreamer, see if he wants to go. he hasn't been able to log into OCDO lately because of school.

i saw on antother thread they got the SCCC going on campus (it was posted yesterday), i dont remember who posted but they were the VP of the club, im sure that he or she could get up with him

That would be me. Dreamer is the president, I'm VP.

I talked to him, he said he'd be up for it, but he doesn't know if he can make it. He has an art event in Raleigh, and won't be home till late. I told him I'll call him at 10am, see if he's up for some good food and company, or whether he wants to stay in bed. So it'll either be matt, dreamer, and I, or just matt and I.

I'm 18, and carry regularly, tell your bud not to worry

EDIT: I'll try to make it with my brother again. He's interested in getting a first handgun but hasn't decided yet if he really wants one, help me convince him!

well if he can come out with you, then we might be able to sway his decision a bit

it was a lot of work for both Dreamer and I. We had to track down 10 members plus a full time staff/faculty member with the school in order for us to start the process of becoming a legit organization through ECU. We started the process last fall (after we learned we had 2 weeks to get the paperwork in, otherwise we wouldn't make it for the fall semester), and I finally found us an adviser a couple weeks before christmas (my boss lady, of all people, lol).

We got our paperwork in, made sure at least either Dreamer or I made it to every single meeting and training session they had (to show we were serious), and when it came time for us to present our case to the Student Activity Board, we kept the conversation cool, calm, and told everyone that while we do have an ultimate goal of allowing students to protect themselves, that we're going to do it lawfully and civilly.

Dreamer went to a safety forum the other night, and from what he told me, he got our organization some advertising, and told people that there are other options to protecting yourself than just "travel in groups." He may have also secured a private consultation with a sorority as well (concerning safety of course...:D) :monkey

Right now, we're focusing on getting the word out that our organization exists, that it is open to any law abiding citizen, and that we're having a range day on the 19th (you guys should come... hint hint nudge nudge). We're also hoping that we can procure a table at a huge school event called Barefoot on the Mall, which will definitely get us some attention.

Apart from that, it did take some effort to get started, but if we can get an SCCC chapter started at ECU (where our administration is uber anti-gun), then you should be able to help get one started at your college. Besides, the more banners we have in the state, the more likely we can get a law passed allowing CC on college campus.
