It is easier to say no than to think rationally.
Is it also forbidden to walk your dog in a park? Or maybe if someone asked permission it too would be disallowed.
The meetups are all fine in the SD parks.
We need these meet-ups to be more centrally located to the IE so that peeps from Hemet/Yucaipa/29Palms etc... can come as well. Norco is the perfect spot.
