July 14, 2009 *CHATTANOOGA AREA* Restaurant Meet Thread

[BrandonTN]

we need to get pretty form commitments from everyone who will be going and try and call ahead. we can list it under "TGO" and when everyone goes in they will be sent to thee right place.

Also might be hard if 15-20 people show up to get a table without some advance notice during lunch.

Agreed...

[Guest SomeGuy]

Slim, Mousegun,

I pretty much had to step back and put my focus on my studies. Nobody else wanted to step up and take over, so we are idled. I am now a BSN, RN; working full-time and soon to be on night shift.

That said, if I can come, I will. I say we all open carry to whichever place we go. The one thing we must do, is whoever picks the place needs to make sure it is NOT posted in any form. We don't want to give our business to an anti.

[apratsunrthd]

Y'all would pick one of the few weeks I'll be out of town...

[TN9mm]

ElMeson at 12 / 12:30 work for everybody?

+1..more I'm there, maybe I can convince the wife to come hang out with some more paranoid people....errrr....HCP holders.

[mousegunner]

Hi Someguy!

Thanks for your yoeman service with the TFA awhile back. On the open carry: my mousegun is so small, even if I open carry it may go un-noticed! I know we are opposites on this, but I would NEVER open carry, as I think it gives up the advantage of surprise with a would-be bad guy.

[Guest mc30707]

I haven't been on here in quite a while but I might be able to make it. Doesn't El Meson serve alcohol? And doesn't that mean no carry.

[mousegunner]

Well, if you carry your pistol in El Meson, you had better not carry it on your hip! Guns and alcohol don't mix!

[strickj]

Guns and alcohol don't mix?

Then Ill be sure not to mix my margarettas with my barrel then

Mike,

As of July 14th it will be legal to carry in a restaurant that serves alcohol or a bar. Check the topics in this forum. tennessee-politics-legislation/

[Guest Rugerman]

I could go if it were dinner. Having it at lunch excludes quite a few of us who live and work outside of Chattanooga.

Glad to hear yall are catching up with GA on the carry law.

[Guest SomeGuy]

Glad to hear yall are catching up with GA on the carry law.

And in some ways, exceeding. As I recall, in GA isn't it still illegal to carry in a place where a "public gathering" occurs?

Also, I hope you guys have a good time. I won't be able to make it, I will be working those nights and sleeping quite soundly during the days.

[mousegunner]

I must cancel out...I forgot a Presbytery meeting I have on July 14 in Flintstone. Sorry! Eat a taco for me!

[strickj]

If we can get a final head count here then Ill give them a call one day this week to see about getting some tables reserved for us.

[Guest abailey362]

no one else? lots more interest earlier in the thread

[strickj]

I imagine a couple might show up without posting.

Ill hold off a couple days about calling them in hopes that more will commit

[Guest abailey362]

on a side note...they are opening a new el meson in hixson pretty soon

[strickj]

How big are their tables? Big enough for 5 to fit at 1 table?

Its been awhile since Ive eaten there so I don't remember.

[Guest abailey362]

i think so...we get take out from there some....can't say i've ever eaten at the resturant itself

[Farman]

Tomorrow.........Gonna hit the range and then have a taco salad.

Lookin' forward to it!

[strickj]

Just got off the phone with El Mesons manager,and reserved us a table for 6-8 people at 12.

It will be held under the initials TGO
