They couldn't convince you? Did they try "how would you like free coffee on the weekend?"

One time at a gun show, our white-board read: "FREE uniform and RIFLE." However, that's a National Guard deal. We don't offer that with the VDF. ;)

So, did you talk about OC with the guy? Did you happen to notice his rank? Did you also try to recruit him to the VCDL, tit for tat?

I stopped by DAR today on one of my breaks and met Riana (who tried to sell me some guns and/or gun accessories :cool:).

But I never saw you. Maybe I was talking with someone else at the time. We were right next to the American Legion's snow cone vendor.

It was good meeting you, virginiatuck (even if I did think you were someone else at first). Always good to put a face to a name.

Daughters of the American Revolution (Sons of the American Revolution are also represented). Screened-in canopy right next to the snow cone vendor. VDF is on the corner of Station and the W&OD - we're a little farther up the W&OD.

I'm sure I posted that I was working a booth... that's how virginiatuck found me, and Tess knew to look for me there, too. ;)

Started out OC (noticed by everyone on the shuttle bus, I expect, thanks to my extroverted son). Got caught in the rain, though, and when it appeared it was going to drizzle all afternoon, went in to Nova Armament and asked for permission to unholster in there, away from the crowd. Carried concealed the rest of the day.

Only comment was from one of the Virginia Defense Force folks - a positive comment on exercising my rights.

I missed that, somehow. When I went by just after the heavy rainstorm, there were about six or seven people there in BDUs. Had I realized, I'd have looked for you.

Or maybe not, as I wouldn't know whether you'd want it known amongst your compatriots you post here.....
