Longguns Downtown: What is the point?

[MoparMan]

I would like to thank the INGO community for the negative REP I'm receiving for my attempts open a dialog regarding the method and approach being undertaken.

Thanks!

Thats what people do on here instead of having an adult conversation. I believe they call it being a "KEYBOARD COWBOY".

 

[Boilers]

Hopefully the meeting with IMPD will negate the need for this .

Not to go off on a tangent, but aren't prosecutors "officers of the court" and as such have arrest powers all unto themselves, as well?

Pos. rep for bigus_D for being able to voice a different opinion without having to resort to calling anyone childish names and then when called out on it trying to pass it off as not being PC cause some how that makes it ok as some other members have tried to do.

I think Lop Ear here has some salient issues that need clarification. How do you get the message out to the general public when you can't carry signs?

What is the context here? Without context, people in Indiana might see you on the news for 10 seconds, and wonder what the deal was. The big issue right now is healthcare. Everybody is talking healthcare. You want to talk about gun rights in a state the Brady Bunch and the others give a D- to an F consistently, while everyone else is worried about healthcare.

Maybe the Tea Party folks should be asked for some input on how to make the Walk more visible and attention getting (for lack of a better term)

Not sure of your point . I'd like to believe that if we follow what the events planning section of IMPD says we can and can't do , then we're GTG .

Again for all of us involved , we're going to make sure that all of us understand that NONE OF US can afford to have this go off without it being peaceful .

We CANNOT get involved in ANY conflicts period , direct those interested in conflict to one of the spokespersons or simply smile and walk on .

I look forward to hearing the results of the meeting with IMPD if/when it takes place, and would be interested in seeing what the talking points are for the group.

You make it sound like we have to have permission. The fact is we are giving them a heads-up that we will be conducting something that is perfectly legal.
What is so full of fail is this attitude that we must not exercise our right if it might offend someone. If thats the case throw the constitution in the toilet and flush it because we have plenty of Socialist in this country who find it ALL offensive.

Don't forget to peruse the special events for any day that is being planned.

WebEvent - Guest Front Page


Special events permit process (if needed)

Not at all. I am simply interested in a) what they think of the event from an LE perspective, and b) what you can do as far as getting your message out that would NOT be construed as having a demonstration/rally/parade.

What is so full of fail is this attitude that we must not exercise our right if it might offend someone.

All I'm saying is that I'd rather see you on the 6:00 news for the right reasons.

Ok I am guilty of giving my 2nd neg rep. I gave it to shooter521 and in hind site it was stupid. Please everyone give him a positive rep for me.

I gave 1 Negative Rep to Bigus_D after he Negative Repped me then he complained that he was being Negative Repped - I mean, come on, if you can't take it don't dish it out. Be a Man, strike that, it might get me into more trouble, be a respectful mindless non opinionated forum reader.

Yep, that is so offending when someone asks me to step up to the plate and be something in which I should already be.

 

[ATM]

Bullhorn?

I like this. It would be like TALKING IN BOLD CAPITALS!

Car Wash with bikinis and guns?

I am fully prepared to "hammock up" for the cause.

It wasn't your Neg rep that prompted my post. Stop your whinning. I neg repped you for childish name calling. I can take it. I can dish it out. I can "hide under a table".

Tell me to be respectful... SERIOUSLY? I mean SERIOUSLY. Please go back and read your post history to see who needs this advice.

Now... I think I need to learn how to use that ignore user feature...

EDIT: Figured out that ignore user feature... pretty slick and easy to use!

This is why I believe that when mods are contributing in a thread, especially a heated one, they should guide any inappropriate posts to another mod to let them handle it...I think you understand where I am coming from.

What heresy - tried to Positive Rep but it wouldn't allow me to
