I am going to make a quick stop at Scheels to see if they have any bright orange vests so that bullet won't feel all alone.

It looks like Thursday nights have become a busy night for HF Crave.

Haven't seen any antis, but the press (1011?) is here interviewing the organizers.

No orange Shoot me first vests either.

I got here just a little after 6:00PM and the line was almost to the door. It has slowed down, but people are still trickling in.

Haven't seen anyone running for the door either.

I shook the owner's and manager's hands and thanked them for supporting the 2A, even though bullit doesn't.  ;D

I came home from work and the missus had cooked a big fancy meal.... Doh!  So after dinner I went down for a soda and a healthy "keep the change" to thank them. I just got back now and there were still probably 25+ people there (a lot for that place) and yes they said it had been crazy earlier and the line had been out the door.

Fly will incur a 20 sec FTDR at the next IDPA event he attends....and they no longer make the orange vest....it is a limited edition.   Glad all went well. Wonder if Chief Peshong had any of his boys and girls trolling the parking lot

Some folks just have a heck of a time id'ing the enemy.

Please make sure you let the management know you are there because they support the 2A.  This goes for anyone else that might be visiting their establishment in the near future.

No video on their website yet, and I missed the news, but there is an article.

Anyone read the comments left on the story? I responded to one, and made sure to take a screen capture in the event that 1011 chose to "modify" my response.
It is highly likely the above post may offend you. I'm fine with that.

There were only 2 responses when I read the article  8-1-14 @0900.  Both of them were negative.

That Garthright guy thinks a lot of himself.  Amazing how a person can imagine themself atop the intellectual mountain and pronounce all who disagree with him "morons."  What magical, mystical intellectual powers!  :)

Naturally, his predictions sound much like what we heard when CCW was being debated and we all know how that turned out.  Where's the murder n' mayhem we were promised?

That's the gentleman I responded to.

Essentially, I asked him how he could classify a Military Veteran, Veteran EMT and FireFighter, and a College Graduate working on a second degree a "moron".

I'm kind of curious how he will respond, if he does at all...

Can't seem to get my responses to stick either.  I've written two now.

There are still only 2 comments posted, both negative. I will dine there to help the business that helps us. As far as OC if that's what you wanna do, I am good with it. But myself I don't really feel like having a sign on me that says shoot me first, then rob me. JMO
