It will be good to see you again, looks like we will have about 50 shows, perfect.

Looks like me, SWMBO, possibly my step-son, and a friend from church with his wife & kids!

He's been thinking quite a bit about OC'ing, and is really excited about coming out and meeting people who do; kind of a confidence builder!

Got the tater salad ready for tomorrow. Saw mention of paper plates above, how about utensils? Also, ketchup & mustard? Let me know and I can get them.

All of the above would be great.

Everyone bring drinks especialy if you want anything special.

BTW I understand alcohol is not allowed in the city parks.

As yogi would say........


"Boo-Boo, it is a great day for a pic-a-nic!


Make it if you can.


As far as I know, no one has been notified. After all, we are citizens doing what citizens do, gathering and having a picnic. Just a regular day in a regular city. :)

Great day at the park, had about 40-45 show up including kids. A lot of new people showed mostly from the Spokane Gun Trader forum welcome to all of you.

Special thanks go out to Snarly for bringing and manning the grill, good job Snarly.

Thanks to BobR for setting the picnic up paying for the shelter and bringing his awesome brisket, if you have never had Bobs brisket you are missing a real treat.

I also would like to thank my wife who answered questions at the OC table from other people that saw our banner and stopped by to ask what were were doing. She passed out quite a few trifolds and Spokane County Sheriff Training bulletins.

On a negitive note several people saw us setting up and left the park. I did overhear one remark that "some people are not responsable" as a dad was taking his little girl to the car.

On a positive note I personally had 5 people that were not in our group come up and thank me/us.

All in all it was a good day, armed citizens got together, ate, talked and had a great time.

Maybe he was self analyzing, he just wanted to let you know his thought on his own personal traits.

My apologies to the guy shooting pics with the Nikon, Gambit thought you were doing something dangerous in my direction & he has been taught to warn me of danger.
