Well, arrived about 1 pm with a 150 fliers, sat at the table that my friends had gotten for their business and cleared up a corner for the fliers. Had alot of people walk by, I was just handing them out like candy. Had about 2 dozen people stop and actually ask what opencarry was about. Some actually wanted to sign a petition so I'll work up paper for the January show. Had a handful of people say that they disagreed with open carry but didn't bother to stop and answer my question of why.

overall, was a good afternoon and educated some people. There is quite a bit of support out there for open carry so i've been telling people to contact their state reps about it.

Will print up a bunch more for sunday and do it all again.

DK, sorry I missed you. I got there about 10:30/11:00am and left at 3:00pm. What did you think of that crowd? It took about 30 minutes in line for me to get to the door.

it was a HUGE crowd on saturday. I regret to say that due to family/home issues, I was unable to make sundays show.

I look forward to januarys though.
