So I went to see the movie Appaloosa tonight at the Escondido Regal Cinema on the advice of my brother-in-arms Matt and whilst viewing I packed the Tracker. As usual, I had no problems but that may be attributed, at least in part, to the fact that there was no one else in the theatre. I saw perhaps 3 staff members and but when I got into the theatre I discovered that I WAS THE ONLY ONE IN THERE! It was pretty cool being able to give commentary on the movie without worrying about bugging other people.
Gun synopsis:
-FREAKING SWEET 8 gauge SxS with exposed hammers, brand unknown but still insanely cool. I want one really, really bad now (same old story, just a different gun)
-1873 Winchester(s)
-Lots of Colt SAA (I think)
-Various other leverguns, some of which looked to be of Henry manufacture.
That is pretty much it everyone, off to bed I shall go, for my garden requires attention in the morning.

Shooting trip 10-25-08
Ok, its not open carry but still cool! I went to Palm Springs for a shooting trip with my friend Tom and while there I discovered that we had THREE generations of Ruger MK .22 pistols in the midst! Being the geek I am, I had to have a picture taken of them all.
Left is Ruger MKI, I have the MKII and Tom has the MKIII

UPS, FedEx, Jimbo's, Ace Hardware,
Yep, open carried into each of these places and no one said a word.
Went to UPS to do a price check on shipping a package and then went home (this is en-route on errands)
A few hours later I went to FedEx and got a price check and ended up shipping my object with them since it was 30% less than UPS. I was in there for 10min, no problems.
Curious about the beer selection at Jimbo's, I went inside and perused for a little bit. I was quite stoked to see the shelves stocked with Stone, Harp and some other assorted good looking brews. After November 18th I shall have to try some of them out, yay!
After that I went into Ace Hardware to get a special screwdriver for a prank I am thinking of pulling. Everyone was cordial and unconcerned.
Just to let everyone know, the UPS, Jimbo's and Ace Hardware are all in the same shopping center and in very close proximity to a Sheriff substation. It is funny to note that the sheriffs come into my work all the time and stuff so I am really anxious to serve them sometime and quiz them on some gun laws (if I can segue into that conversation without being too eager.)
Off to pack, I have a shooting trip in the morning!

Sam OC'ed after the lunch!
My brother Sam sent me this story this morning and I am posting it with his permission. This happened after the OC lunch.
Oj and I went to UTC mall afterward, and I OC'ed for about 2 hours, all kinds of stores, Nordstrom twice, Apple store, Sears, etc. Hung out sitting on a bench in the shade for 20 minutes or so, people watching...plenty of time for a security guard to find us but they didn't. Only one or two people said anything and they just asked why but no one freaked out. Saw one security guard with his walkie-talkie and handcuffs, but he may have not seen I was carrying...or maybe he did, as he seemed to just slink along the wall trying really hard not to look in my direction.
Kind of boring, actually. :)

Another success! Thanks Sam!

Meet and Eat While Packing Heat... El Indio Lunch 10-19-08
So today was the 2nd Calguns.net Open Carry Lunch at El Indio and it was, yet again, a success! We had a great turnout of about 27 people and it was really nice to put tag handles to faces and THEN remember everyone's real names, haha!
As a whole we really didn't have any problems with protesters or over-hyped soccer moms. We had a couple ladies come in to the patio area and think that we were cops and Liberty01 took the liberty (hehe) of giving them fliers and telling them of calguns.net and if interest is any indication, we might have two pretty women joining the ranks! My brothers, gir007 and I also had a good chat with a patron of El Indio from Seattle about the legality of open carry and how it was unlikely that gangbangers would try to confront armed folk because the ones that would do such a thing have been weeded out by Darwin's Theory of Evolution (aided by lead poisoning :) ) Grammaton76 and I had a good laugh about one girl confusedly eyeballing his sidearm as he opened the door for her on his way out, that was pretty funny, hehe :) .
Well, here are the photos and such of the outing. Just for all those that dont know, the guy with the shaved head and the guy in the kilt are 2 of my 3 older brothers, OJ and Sam.
Yes, we have been known to call OJ by "Killer" :)
Looking right from my position (Grammaton76 in the khaki, SOneThreeCoupe inhaling a quesadilla, Decoligny immediately to the right)
Looking left from my position (David is to the immediate left and my brother OJ is in the striped shirt)
Looking straight from my position (elsensei)
Brother OJ checking his email.
Chatting near the patio entrance (gir007 at center, SOneThreeCoupe at right, Spiggy behind gir007)
Nearly the whole group
This photo looks funny, but Sam is actually 6'2"

OJ, Sam and myself.
Doing the can-can :)

I can hardly wait for the next one! Thanks for organizing gir007 and I am sure we will do some hanging out soon!
Decoligny, just know before you go and take the plunge!
Peace out everyone and happy OCing!
Sincerely,
Nathan

P.S. If you are in these photos, please let me know so I can attach your calguns.net handle (Sorry I couldn't remember all of them!)

Work
So I went into work (wasn't on the clock, just came in to eat) and settled a bet with a regular I've had about carrying into bars/bar areas (He is from Texas and thinks it is illegal in California... proved him wrong, hehe.) I got more interested looks from my coworkers and one of them was asking "Why? I see no point to doing that." I told her that not everyone has a personal bodyguard, to which she responded "Well, you shouldn't be so concerned about your safety." What a joke! I told her that if I wasn't concerned about my own safety, who was going to be concerned about it?
Ahh, such is my life.

AMC La Jolla: Max Payne!
My brother, my brother's friend and I went to see Max Payne at the AMC in La Jolla tonight and everything went without a hitch and no one said a word, despite the fact I went into the theatre and back outside twice. Sat in the lobby waiting for my other brother to show up upon entering the theatre the second time and there were no problems with that either.
The movie was OK but I was really stoked to see that they had not one but TWO Taurus Judges (GO TAURUS!) used in that movie. Also on the list of mentionables was the H&K MP-5 (Grasshopper, maybe?), Beretta 92FS, Mossberg 500 Cruiser, maaaaybe a Remington 870 (it was in the credits) and there were some other really cool looking weapons in there that I will have to look up later.
With that, I am going to watch Sledgehammer with my brother before going home. Peace out for now.
