The Gathering: In Texas This Year

[Iron Dragoon]

Travel to/from Airport
You can hail a cab.  It's a 30 minute drive, so groups would be wise cuz it's gonna be about a 63 dollar fee each way.  Ouch.

If we can arrange a group, Hal might be able to do a trip up to get some of us.  Equally so, splitting that kind of taxi several ways won't be that bad.

I'll likely be bringing my car instead of my bike (sadface), so I can give rides also. I don't mind doing this and making a bunch of trips, but since it's an hour round-trip, I'd ask that people toss me some cash for gas money.

[Dracos]

I'll look up arrival time for me and brian, but I'm definitely down with that.  A tank of gas is cheaper than the taxi ride will be.

Time off request: Submitted.

I will VERY VERY likely be driving down (through Juarez! FEAR!) the day before, so I can probably do airport pickups. Provided I don't die.

[Yuthirin]

Also: Are we all getting separate rooms or are we doubling up?

[Dracos]

Up to folks.  I certainly suggest doubling up.  I've already split a room with brian, but the rest depends on you guys.

Also thanks.  Airport pickups would help a lot of folks out :)

[Yuthirin]

Any volunteers to room with a mostly neat guy who probably won't irritate you overmuch?

[Yuthirin]

Also please add my number to the list: 847-219-7283 (feel free to text)

[Iron Dragoon]

Okay peeps. The range. I need to know how much and what everyone wants to shoot, so I can try to find ammo for a good price.

I know that's kind of an obscure thing for most of you since most of you don't shoot regularly, so I would suggest about 50 to 100 rounds per caliber, depending on how many different calibers we're talking about.

So, post your interests so I can start pricing.

[Yuthirin]

Do you need a permit to carry in TX?

[Iron Dragoon]

Do you need a permit to carry in TX?

Texas has no open carry, and to conceal carry, you need a reciprocal license from another state. If you don't have a concealed carry license at all, then no, you can't carry.

Additionally, Texas will not allow you to carry a concealed firearm in your car unless you are a Texas resident. Otherwise, guns must be stored separately from ammo in cars (I.E. gun in the front, ammo in the trunk, while gun is in a case. Or vice-versa.)

I encourage you to research it a bit for out-of-state visitor stuff.

[Yuthirin]

Hm. No open carry is unfortunate. And I won't be able to get my CCW in time for the event. Blast.

[Dracos]

Yeah, would be good to get an idea of who's going to the range.  Might be two groups, or might be a good time for folks to do side tourism.

[Yuthirin]

Y'all should know how to shoot a gun and like it, gol durn it. Yer 'Muricans.

Don't worry, I'll protect you, princess.

You're a snoogie-bear.
