Didn't look too bad to me.

What do the guys that went think of it?

Dianosis was one of the guys who went. As a matter of fact, he organized it and was the first person interviewed. The folks at ALOC are quite happy with the report. At most, I wish they had said more, especially about the Self Defense Protection Act of 2011 that we are trying to get passed.

Pretty neutral. Neutral is good. It's always a plus when they don't go "But some law enforcement officials are worried blah blah blah...."

As far as statewide meetups go, it beats 9 guys in a Starbucks inside a Target any way you look at it. I can't wait for the next one. I figure if we do it again next year we should pull 150 - 200 people.

Edit: in case anyone missed it, the official count was 67 people.
