I attendes a multi-state open carry (pistol) lunch in Leesburg VA last Sat.

I was given the opportunity to walk around and promote the Appleseed program to the 50-55 participants.  2 people were already aware of the program.  There was a lot of interest in the program - particularly that those under 20 shoot for free.  I handed out the schedules and copies of the SWAT reprints to 25 of the participants.

Good Job!

This kind of relationship building and cross promotion is what we need to be doing on a state level. 

Some areas of the nation, the state level conceal carry groups are very friendly and helpful toward Appleseed. 

Thanks for sharing your experience!

Great news. I will send out another batch of reprints, you must be getting low by now.
Glad to see some PA people jumping in and helping the project. PA could use a few more good people like yourself.
