Please post to this thread if you plan to attend, along with the number of people you plan to bring with you so that I know how much meat to buy.

Also, please leave any questions or comments regarding the OC Picnic here.

Please keep the following rule in mind. There will be NO HANDLING OF FIREARMS at the picnic. Just as you would not handle your firearm in Wal-mart or at the gas station. All firearms are to remain holstered at all times.

1 (maybe 2 if I can get my bf to come with)

Was there mention of a range near by and some target shooting afterwards? Is that happening?

I'll be there with a guest from the VB.

Should we start an informal checklist of what we need and who's bringing what?. Due to my long drive, I'll probably hit the closest grocery store on the way in.

My wife Chrissy and I will attend. I need to get a holster for her Walther P-22 so we can both carry. I wonder if there is an on line store that would have such a thing??? LOL.

Please let me know if we can bring anything else. Sodas, condiments, desserts, or something else. I'll be glad to assist in any way possible.

I look forward to seeing you there Andy. I do carry a couple of P22 holsters, but they're both out of stock right now.

They're both made by Fobus Holsters - models WP22BH (Kydex belt holster) and WP22 (Kydex paddle holster), if you care to search on them elsewhere.

Naw, they are all going to the picnic! Someone has to do the grunt work and that falls to us dedicated grunts.
