I think it has been a year or two since we have made one, but my wife and I might actually make this one.

I have never been able to attend on of the breakfasts at the Gopher (but have enjoyed many fine coneys there). Want to bring a friend from Hudson WI. Is open carry a must as he doesn't own a gun? Looking forward to attending this one!

Yes, there are metal detectors on the entrances that are set to alarm if you're not carrying. Then there's a little plastic basket full of keys and nail clippers that you have to stuff into your pockets and go through again. Then if they're still not sure about you, one of the security staff takes you into the lavatory and you have to pat them down.

I thought it was if we can't see your gun, we can't see you. Pat, your not supposed to talk about the security measures the old man has in place either, that'll only really piss him off. The cloud of effenheimers may blot out the sun this time.

Oh and bring cash. Lots of cash. There's a initiation for noobies that we can't divulge, but cash helps.

:) Just don't try to pay with plastic. There's an ATM at the SuperAmerica across the street; it charges you a couple bucks for being dumb but it doesn't use any profanity.

If that's not a sig quote I don't know what is.

Ok, so what are we going to shoot at and what's the challenge, something like the loser has to run through Bill's in their birthday suit yelling this song:
