Back in the burbs for the big night.

We came back from the farm for the big celebration tonight. I'll head back tomorrow.

Tonight, 500 or so of us will go out to dinner in about 6 restaurants across the state, to celebrate the end of the restaurant Concealed handgun ban.

Open carry in restaurants (Va doesn't have bars) has always been legal and since I don't have a permit, it doesn't concern me. It is a law that the Governor has vetoed several years in a row and we worked hard to get McDonnell elected this year.

So in a way, it's a victory for me too and I'll put on my 44 and OC at the party. It should make a good video.

For those concerned, if we see anyone drinking while carrying...they get a ride home with an empty holster. NO EXCEPTIONS>

It was fun !

The 44 in the video is me. I was the only news agency allowed in and there was a near riot with the reporters. Apparently one of them vidioed me outside, My daughter said she saw me on Channel 8.

We had a victory of similar sorts take place here on July 1.  CCW types can now carry (albeit concealed) into NM restaurants that serve liquor. 

I still hate carrying concealed.  It is a tremendous pain to practice with different types of clothing.  Different things are dangerous.  I have yet to find a concealed carry-under-clothing that I like.  Open carry is much better.
