How About an Open-Carry BBQ?

[jsimmons]

I think we should have an open-carry BBQ in San Antonio. What do you guys think? Who can/wants to host it?

 

[Clockwork]

Dang, I don't wanna miss this one! :O

Don't recall if that's legal or not... I thought to do that, you had to be on property "under your control" or something.

More research needed...

In my mind, BBQ=beer, and I don't want to be around armed people who've been drinking. My policy and that of my friends is that the firearms get put away before you pop a top. Accidents can and do happen.

Same here, I can Q minus beer if necessary; as Rule #1 is no mixing guns and alcohol...

I've already been to one OC BBQ up near Austin. Between 15 and 20 people showed up with pistols on their hips, and one guy showed up with a macfhine gun (there's always one guy - grin). There was NO alcohol allowed or present. I don't recall the property owner saying anything about us being charged with protecting his property (that's one way to be legal by the way), but he did have an area roped off for demostrations of how to do gun-related things (cleaning, field stripping, etc), which made it a gun-related event. I believed that fact alone covered any legality concerns. The demonstration area was the only place anyone was allowed to un-holster as well.

All of the rules were followed, no shots were fired, fun was had by all, and Debra Mediina even showed up with a new (?) borrowed (?) six-gun on her hip.

No need to get excited. BBQ does not necessarily mean alcohol consumption.

What excitement? I was merely making a statement.

And yeah, it kinda does mean beer consumption. I've never been to a dry BBQ. But you go ahead.

We could always re-take the Alamo....

 

[Southpaw]

I'm in and agree Guns = No Alcohol, but I think things can be worked out to have a safe and enjoyable time for all.

Well it definitely DOESN'T mean that where open-carry is concerned.

Hell, the liquor store in Castroville sells booze and bullets.

I'm down for a BBQ w/ guns and no alcohol. Just let me know where and when. I also have access to a pit that will hold quite a few briskets.

Lock the gate with a cheap combination padlock. Give everyone the combination. Now everyone is controlling access to the property. Or... have everyone sign a one day lease to the property.

BTW, if you get this set-up. I'd come
