I would like to add my input into the social gathering we had at the Madison Starbucks on Saturday. It was a pleasure meeting everyone. I must admit, Mason was the only one with any intestinal fortitude on Saturday. Keith and I were chicken because of what we have seen in Madison County and the apparently OC unfriendly attitude of most of the LEOs. Even Keith's wife was a little nervous, and stayed in the truck the whole time. I would like to thank Mason though, as on Sunday afternoon, I had to make a trip to Lowes of Madison. I decided that I would give OC a try and I was pleasantly surprised when no one even seemed to notice! It was nice to be able to exercise my rights, and make myself feel secure with being able to defend myself without everyone having a fit about it.:celebrate:celebrate:celebrate

I look forward to seeing everyone again next Saturday! Hopefully, I will be able to talk my wife into coming as well so Keith's wife won't have to only hear guys swap lies lol!:what:Lets see if we can each bring a friend as well. Mason brought a friend, and I will try also. Not many of my friends actually carry, but I'm trying to show them the light slowly to keep them interested. See yall next Saturday!

Hey, I'm going to have to miss the meet up tomorrow :( My fiance is graduating from Northwest-Shoals Community College so I'm going to be attending that. Hopefully next Saturday will be free so I can meet up with you guys then!

Never been a Glock fan. It doesn't feel right in my hand. Has anyone tried the SA XDM 40?[/align]

Sorry I just couldn't make it to Starbucks this morning. Got caught up in the whole Mother's Day weekend thing. Hopefully some of you guys were there. I'll try again next week. And one other thing I'm Rickey not sure where the Keith (?) mixup came in.



Sorry AL Ranger I'm not a fan of the XD or XDM altho Springfield does makeexcellent 1911 pistols and M1A rifles. Individual taste, different strokes whatever, some of my friends swear by'um. Beside if we all liked the same things what would we argue about.

I didn't see anyone else on Saturday. I had my mocha, chatted with a guy from work, and ran some errands. I hope to see you guys next week. If later in the afternoon, or on Sunday sometime, let me know. I am willing to get the best time and day for everyone. Saturday morning or early Sunday morning is good for me. I would actually prefer earlier on Saturday, but we need to do the best for all.

Maybe it would help if we all met somewhere off-site for a few minutes and then went into Starbuck's together? Of course, I'm not sure how the people would react to car loads of armed people showing up all at once. Maybe we should just exchange cell phone numbers and check around on each other to see who is going to show up.

If we can get a positive from people that they are showing up, we will know who to expect. I normally don' t just go somewhere and hang out by myself, so if there is no one there by 10:10, I pop smoke. 541-7539 is my cell.

Since there has been no positive interest for this week, I won't be attending. I posted my cell number for people who were interested to give me a call, and I got no calls.

Is the statewide Starbucks meet up still on for the 12th? I would like to see some of you again, and meet some of you I haven't. If so, please post a time and exactly where, and I'll be there. I'll probably need directions too.

New member here - Huntsville. I've had an Alabama concealed carry permit for roughly 30 years but didn't know that open carry was legal until today. Would like to meet when you fellows get together again. Thanks!
