Open Carry in NC

Well,,,

I'm home, folks.

Apparently he is not as much a troll as he is unable to provide an actual street address.

My guess is bc.cruiser is familiar with the area and knows that when you say the McDonalds on Center Street you do not mean the one actually on Center Street but the one sort of near Center Street.

Except that I cruised the entire length of the street that the city fathers in Hickory saw fit to put up signs designating it as "Center Street" - there was not another McDonalds along that roadway. That being the case, I took action to make the opening statement of this post happen.

stay safe.

Well,,, I dont need a prize,, and none were offered,, but in the other thread I did predict that you would dine alone...

Guess I was Right! 88 is a troll,,, and a dork,,, and probably deserves all the bad interactions
that he complains come to him undeserved..

I wait with baited breath for a report from BCCruiser,,, If he really was there...


BTW,,, how was that steak?

The steak was very good even they did not bring the whole cow so I could cut it off tableside right onto my plate.

bc.cruiser has PM'd me with some details, as well as a statement that he intends to keep his observations and thoughts private.

In all fairness 88 may not be as much of a troll as he is - to use your phrasing - a dork.

stay safe.

Listerine may turn that back to "bated".:lol:

I was stood up! My primary purpose was to meet someone whose posts were usually informative and coherent (uh, that would be Skidmark in case there is a question). The free lunch was not the driving force for a 175 mile trip from Fayetteville. Since Skid did not show, I bought lunch for everyone who did.
Finding the place was easy: using Patriot88's first post of the event, Google showed the McD at the intersection of 70 and Center St.(this is No. 2 on WalkingWolf's post) From there, it was a case of remembering the route plan. I don't have a laptop or phone, so any electronic contact was impossible.

Patriot88 was easy to spot, given the info he already posted on the forum: Young guy, boots, cargo pants, long sleeved top over a protective vest of some kind, belt with knife on right side, and either a knife of baton on the other side. I didn't ask which, nor what he had in the nylon handcuff shaped/sized pouch on the belt. His appearance did not strike me as threatening.

I did fail to delve into his experiences or to offer any constructive advice on how to not be disinvited to various businesses. I did determine that he was still at the Waffle House in Lenoir when the LEOs arrived. Whatever his problems are with other places, no one at the McDonald's, including customers, seemed to care or pay any attention.

If he tries to have another meet-up, maybe some of you people over that way should make the attempt. Been there, done that, moving on.

McDonald's beggars steak.

Were you to have any reading comprehension you would have noted that the steak was the main event for Saturday night's repast.

Given the circumstances of Sunday, all three meals were other than "fast/convenient" food.

stay safe.

Be nice! There are feelings involved here.

Who was it that said, "Be nice! There are feelings involved here."
