I'm glad that TAM will have pants on! I am going to see if I can talk Mrs. mikeintexas to join us as well. She mentioned going to the range a few days ago, this would accomplish some range time and more faces with names. And lunch at Mercado is always good!

That's two votes for Mercado Juarez! It's in the lead to Genghis Grill's one.

Another vote for the Mercado Juarez. I've "lurked" on this forum since last fall. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone.

It's also at least 2 votes for me wearing pants.

I dunno.... the jury's still out on that one. :evil2: I'll have to ask my wife what she thinks....

Appropriate safety gear should be worn at all times.........I will be wearing pants............

It appears the significant other may have plans that day, but at this time they don't include me!!!! I may be free, free at last!!! (It'll probably rain...)

Mercado Juarez works for me! Guns and groceries-----what a combination! :thumbs2:

I am thrilled and I seriously want someone to tell me at what point I need to call the range in advance and let them know about our numbers. I definitely plan to call the restaurant, but don't know what the range needs to know. Someone more knowledgeable please give me some guidance!

I am planning to attend and drag the wife with me. As long as my knee injury doesn't have me couch bound I will bring the following for people to try out:

Beretta PX4G 9mm
Beretta PX4GSD .45acp
Sig 238
Kahr CW9

Mostly just my defensive carry stuff......

Hoi,

Probably a good idea to call the range as soon as possible and let them know of the pending invasion.......perhaps we'll get a volume discount.......number of people uncertain, but appears to be 12 to 18 at this point, doesn't it?

Sharing lanes and weapons gives us a chance to socialize a little as well during the shoot, if sharing is necessary. I don't know their set up. Never been there. Who knows, if this works out well enough, perhaps it can become an annual event!

In addition, it goes without saying but must be said, that we really apprecite your ramrodding this expedition!

Looking forward to this. Hopefully the weather will be cooler.
