July 14, 2009 *NASHVILLE AREA* Restaurant Meet (Please see NEW thread)

[Guest HexHead]

Ruby Tuesday's in Green Hills would be a good choice.

I wonder if they still have the salad bar since they did all that remodeling? Be fun to graze the salad bar along with all the sheep. LOLOOL

Is there going to be a Lunch meeting, and a Dinner meeting?

<TGO-David: Insert comment about no-show-creeky here>

[netmindr]

I'm in for this! Will the ball caps be available prior?

I looked for a notice about purchasing a TGO cap but didn't find anything. If/when these are available, put me down for 1.

I'm also in on the 14th (if my tix fall thru for the All-Star game), but I'm not 100% sure about advertising it. It seems like asking for trouble. I can see 100's of anti-gunner Obama groupies showing up to make a spectacle and then we all know how the media would spin that. However, as for inviting some legislators who voted with us, I think it would be a great gesture to show we support them. We should buy them dinner and give them a cap.

Would someone, (David), just declare a place already?

[tnoutdoors9]

I'm a newbie but would like to attend. Dinner is my preference, cannot get away for lunch.

[Guest Moose]

New Member here also,, count me in.

name the place.

[Guest HexHead]

I wouldn't be counting the dinner plates yet. ;(

You know, I'd have already done that if it were that simple. We are still waiting on final word from several key players. Hang tight.

[Guest Jcochran88]

You know we are an anxious bunch, any word on where yet?

[LagerHead]

Another newbie who's in. Just say where.

[Guest proudsuthrner]

as of right now, you can count me in. i want to see what these get-togethers are like.

[TGO David]

We're still in a holding pattern on this given the fact that there is a July 13th hearing that may affect our ability to legally carry on the 14th. This may very well end up being a last minute announcement, so stay tuned.

[Guest redbarron06]

Well here is my idea (more vindictive than anything else). As long as it is not legally posted we all go into Sunset grill and set there for about 3 hours drinking water and chit-chatting. Then drop the waitress a $20 uncover the carry (indiscreatly of course not flashy) and get up and walk out.

So why not organize it as either a celebration or a protest to be determined on the 13th?

That would be funny, but there's no way I could sit there with food being passed around etc at other tables and not being able to eat.

Well when it gets to bad just snap into a "Slim Jim".

[Guest momuzyk]

new member here, count me in. name the place and time!

[LagerHead]

Has a place been decided? It's the 11th hour and I have been looking forward to this.

[Guest ScottD]

Ruby Tuesdays, Brentwood, Lunch? I'm all for it.

[Okey]

I'm in if you decide on a place. Doesn't matter where.

Okey

[Billco]

Anyone decided on a place yet? I fully intend to be there

[mcurrier]

Ruby Tuesdays, Brentwood, Lunch? I'm all for it.

Sounds good to me, I'm right up the street. Any other suggestions?

[TGO David]

I am making some phone calls and will post a venue this evening.

We had a brief pow-wow earlier at the Courthouse and decided that it might be best to have this outside of Davidson County given the inordinate amount of attention that will be given to any such gathering. There was a bit of concern that Metro PD's leadership might be overzealous in trying to police the new law, especially if they knew where a pro-2A meet was happening.

That said, the middle TN function will most likely occur in Williamson or Rutherford county. Stay tuned.

[TGO David]

IMPORTANT...

I have added a poll to this thread. Please vote (and do it quick) so that I can get an initial head-count of how many people will likely be attending the Nashville-area dinner.

The venue will be announced shortly. I just need to know how many will likely attend so that I can have an intelligent conversation with the management of several restaurants.

Venue will be within a 20-30 minute drive of downtown Nashville proper. Maybe even closer than that. We're just keeping our options open!

Event will happen at 8:00pm CST since it will be held in conjunction with a LIVE call-in to the NRA Radio "Cam and Company" show from Nikki Goeser who will be in attendance.

[Smith]

Man I would love to be there, but my schedule just changed today and I won't be able to make it. I hope everyone who can will go.
