Pizza Bob 1,488 Posted August 21, 2017 It has been more than a couple years ago that we used to hold informal meet-ups just to BS about guns, legislation, competition, the challenges of being a gun person and living in this gulag or whatever gun topic moved us. Time marches on and we have many new members on the board, so it seems appropriate to revive this, dare I say, tradition? Here's the skinny. Key word above is "informal". There is no agenda, there is no sign-up or a request to know who's coming and who's not. There is no rescheduling - come, don't come - do whatever the spirit moves you. This will be held outdoors at the Starbucks on Route 31 and Denow Road. They are the end unit of a small strip mall and can be seen easily from 31. For you GPS users I believe the physical address is 800 Denow Road, Hopewell Twp. It is about a mile or so north of the I-95 / Rt. 31 exit. I would ask that if you attend, please patronize our "host" and at least buy a cup of coffee. This will occur this Thursday evening (8/24) starting at 6:30 PM and lasting until the last person leaves. I'll be there at 6:30 with Maggie (my brown GSP), who is a Starbucks regular. If you have one - you may want to throw some kind of chair in your trunk so we don't co-opt all of the business' seating (it could happen). At the worst I'll enjoy a nice frew-frew drink by myself and go home - at the best, we'll get a nice turn-out and have a pleasant evening discussing the things we like best. Hope to see you there. Adios, Pizza Bob 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BlueLineFish 615 Posted August 21, 2017 Its not pissing on the gesture. Just surprised at the venue based on the views of that corporation. Gee..make one statement and panties get in a bunch. I hope the snowflake mentality isn't starting to creep in here Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DirtyDigz 1,811 Posted August 21, 2017 Pizza Bob, thanks for calling this - I can't make this Thursday 8/24, but starting in early September I may be able to meet up in the area (I'm moving down to the Asbury Park area) if there are any future ones.

bennj 215 Posted August 22, 2017 While I understand BlueLineFish's comment, I believe that the franchise owner is a 2A supporter. Been to the past couple, hope to make this one too. Always good to put a face to a name/avatar. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oldguysrule649 397 Posted August 23, 2017 Pizza Bob, great idea. I would love to join you folks. However, not sure I will make this week. I am about 50 miles away. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pizza Bob 1,488 Posted August 23, 2017 Make it if you can. no telling how long we'll be there. Depends on the number of people that show up and how spirited the discussion gets. Even by myself (with the dog) I'm usually good for an hour and a half. Last time I think we went to 9 PM when I left and there were others still there. Adios, Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
