Topic: Bitcoin meetup Orlando on Nov 20th (Read 3405 times)
Too bad it was during the week. I definitely would have been down to drive down there & join. Not to mention I'm trying to convince a friend of mine to write up a story for orlando news about bitcoins & having interviewees setup would probably help. Oh well, maybe next time.
Sounds like a great crew!
Yup, thanks everyone for coming out. Gigavps, luke-jr and his wife, tony from bitpay, gmaxwell, pigeons, john_murdock, forrestv, and my friend paul attended. We ate chicken, told stories, drank beer, and fawned over the new issue of bitcoin magazine. I did some bitcoin christmas shopping. No one brandished any weapons or broke my stuff. A+ would host again
I think it went great!
It was definitely great to put names with faces.
Somebody's gotta write it up, we need details!

There no 3 step in Florida it is merely "securely encased" meaning holstered, or inside of something with a lid you have to lift.
I don't recall where in the law, but IIRC there was a problem with having it mere snapped in a holster on your body (in a vehicle) without a CCW license. Quote
Section 790.001(17) defines the term "securely encased" to mean "in a glove compartment, whether or not locked; snapped in a holster; in a gun case, whether or not locked; in a zippered gun case; or in a closed box or container which requires a lid or cover to be opened for access."

Florida also lets you keep a loaded gun in your car without a permit. As long as it's holstered or in something with a lid.
Well, not exactly. It's basically referred as the 3-step rule. It must take 3 distinctive steps to bring the firearm to a fire-able state. The 3 separate step are not specified, as long as it can be reasonably conceived as 3 steps. Having it loaded, within arms reach (under the seat, etc) is totally illegal.
For me the 3 steps are, remove from glovebox, load the clip, chamber a round.

If it's private property, anyone can concealed or open carry without a permit as well.
Is there a definite date yet? I'd like to come if it fit in my schedule. I've been sick since July, I have a crap ton of dr appointments and tests that week.

Just a heads up, in the state of Florida, it is illegal to possesses a firearm at any location that sells alcohol for consumption on the premises. This includes a CCW permit. So don't plan on visiting any bars or restaurants while carrying.
Yep, that's why bars are automatically excluded. However, at least the courts have interpreted the law to NOT include restaurants beyond a special section set aside for alcohol (eg, Olive Garden has a "bar" type area).

The current consensus (among me, gmaxwell, luke-jr, forrestv) is that the meetup should be held at my house, which is near to UCF (university of central florida). It has a living room and patio and kitchen, and also wifi, otherwise not a terribly special venue. I'll have a bunch of drinks and food, but it can be a potluck too. It is okay with me if you concealed-carry a firearm, as long all guests are aware.
Correction, this will take place on the week of Nov 19th, not Nov 5th. Sorry about that!
Also, forrestv (p2pool) might be coming too

I just don't know where I can legally get a weapon as I am only 16. -_-
I doubt it will be a problem...Wut? Getting a weapon or a situation where a weapon would be needed?
Okay, okay, I just have this feeling that some of these BTC people are a little... well... coo coo from the head. But, I trust you though, especially when you got ma back!
