Ok folks. The "Newport OC On The Levee" is set for Oct 4th..2008 beginning at 12 noon!
I have reserved the community/conference room (80 people) in the Levee for two hours.12 - 2pm, for a location to link up at. I figure 2hrs is enough time for folks to trickle in. The price for the room is $50. Maybe if enough folks come we can take up a collection to cover the cost. If it rains it will be worth it. Once together we can explore over 40 shops, stores, theaters and restaurants. There is also the Newport Aquarium. One of the best in the country. There is plenty of parking and lots to see and do. We are even going to drive a bus in the river! Plan for a full day.
I have made a "Live Maps" tour on MSN Virtual Earth. To view the tour log in with my user name = jbradford1...use my temporary password 4415855. On the right you will see-Welcome, Directions. Collections Click collections. Click Newport OC on the Levee, in the Actions box click Tour. I don’t know how to make this public…yet but I am trying.
I have contacted the NPD to give them a heads-up. I will be in phone and email contact with them from now till the event. One officer pulled up next to me while taking pictures and said, “Someone freaked when they saw you snapping pictures and wearing a gun…you are not doing anything wrong and I don’t have a problem with it. Have a nice day!”
I will post this in the Ohio and Indiana threads. to reach our brothers and sisters on the other side of the pond.
Folks. I need to know if you are coming so when you decide send me a PM or make a post to confirm your presents and encourage others.
We are going to have a blast!! I hope to see you there!
I will stay in touch.
JB…”Carry On!”
Count me in. I was justat the leveelast night. I saw a movie, played some video games, and had some great sushi.1547.69 Firearm prohibitions.

This LEO sounds quite ignorant, if the more guns the greater the danger, no one would make it out of a gun show alive, andhow many people have died at gun shows? None that I've ever heard ofThere is this person I know who used to be a Newport cop. I told him via email about this meet up you guys are planning. Here is his response. I found it quite amusing.
"[font="'PrimaSans BT,Verdana,sans-serif'"]if just one of the gunmen nears a school which is near the levee... and a call comes in from a concern ... you will see a lock down of the school and SWAT respond.. you can bet on that... and that would be one day i would never go to the levee... the more guns, the greater the danger!"[/font]
