Open Carry.org Meetup

On Friday night the 8th of Sept., about 25 people including myself attended an Open Carry.org get together for dinner at the Hard Times Cafe in Woodbridge, Va. We had a pretty mixed group including a few children and of the group of adults about 90% were openly carrying handguns. We had few looks but no one seemed overly concerned. There were no problems with anyone calling the police, trying to grab our weapons or bad guys shooting us first because they wanted to rob the place. I would say everyone enjoyed themselves, I know I did and its good to have fellowship with like minded folks.
This was the second NOVA Opencarry.org meetup, and it had about twice the attendance of the previous meetup. However, a group of gun owners getting together like this is not new to Northern Virginia. For over a decade VCDL meetings have been going on about monthly in Annandale, with increasing numbers of open carriers as the practice has had increased acceptance among gun owners.
