    Any Open Carry groups in the Monrovia/Mooresville/Plainfield area?

    Move here from my home state of Tennessee (thus the screen name) back in May. I don't think we are going to be here too long as no one in my family, me, wife or any of the 5 kids like it here. But, for the time being, I was wondering if there are any open carry groups in our area. We live in the...

    Changed my screen name....

    imported post Well, I was PT-111 but I no longer carry that gun. I have upgraded my carry guns and I now carry a Glock 23. My other carry gun is a Sig P239. The PT-111 has been relegated to rage use and sitting in the safe. So, just to make sure everyone knows, I used to be PT-111 and I am now...
