Thanks for setting this up Shadow Bear!  I'm sorry we are going to be out of town on the 28th.  Good luck with the event.  I'll talk it up to a few friends and see if I can get others to attend.

Great time, many new faces! Good time had by all!

And, DrTodd got to meet his avatar!

Afterwards, we went to Silver Bullet to expose ourselves to temptation.

Then, Steel Magnolia & I witnessed an auto accident, and had a great LEO encounter with Kentwood's finest.:D

After the luncheon at Cafe Connection (btw, GREAT food), we went to Silver Bullet to see if there was anything we couldn't live without. Got out for under $20; whew....

On the way home, we witnessed a traffic accident (Autosurgeon, you missed seeing it  by 30 seconds).

Checked on the victims, all OK, and stuck around for Kentwood PD to arrive.

Had a nice chat with the driver of the not-at-fault vehicle about OC, CC, CPLs, sidearms and MOC. Nice kid, coming home from work

When KPD arrived, Steel Magnolia (who had put her long coat on due to the cold) announced that the was carrying with a CPL. I simply announced that I was armed with my hands well away from my .45. He replies 'I can see that!'

He took our statements, no drama, and then we had a nice chat about OC, CC and a well armed citizenry. Great guy; one of Kentwood's finest! First interaction with Kentwood PD, OC or CC.

Gave him a trifold, as well as the driver of the not-at-fault vehicle. I don't think the elderly woman who was at fault would have been interested in one....
