Organizing an OC event in Indy! Stand up for your Rights!

[melensdad]

Don't forget the Second Amendment Sisters, they are a Pro-2A women's group.

Also, if this gets organized there should be media notification at least 7 days in advance!!! Preferably by at least 2 different groups that are planning to attend so if the INGO informally arranged group attends, then one notice should come from the organizer, BUT as other groups should be recruited, try to get at least 1 of them to send a Press Release as well.

DO NOT RUSH THIS EVENT. Organizing is MORE than just getting a bunch of us together, it includes getting a coalition together and alerting the media.

I would love to attend if work schedule permits. I only have a couple little crappy handguns, 38 and a Baretta - almost embarrassing compared to you guys. I only WISH I could afford an AK or SKS or something. NOT IN THIS LIFETIME! Still would love to show up and support our Second Amendment Rights.

Protection is protection no matter what it is. Never be ashamed of what you carry. If it goes bang, it can save your life and that's what matters. We'd love to have you!

It's not too many causes, It is many groups with various background United for a common cause.

Right, united for a common cause. Which is one cause, which is what i think he's saying.

Yes, this. As long as no one's pushes a pet agenda, they're welcome.

My wife most likely

I don't think so, she is going with me

 

[2ADMNLOVER]

Which is why we focus on 2A rights and NOTHING else. Period.

This is what I meant . This day is about 2A only , leave everything else at home for this day .

Not trying to be a buzzkill , just saying that maybe the first time ought to be kept simple .

Also maybe on the day of , all involved might sign a generic letter of peaceful intent as a CYA measure .

Ok guys, still need a good location for the FTF meet. Panera looks to be the best.

So I'm setting a time and location for Sunday. OP is being updated for this.

Panera Bread in Plainfield, Sunday August 23rd, 5pm sharp.
I know this will conflict with some family functions, but is after church.

Please bring any suggestions with you not put in the emails to me. Also if you wish to bring a laptop please do so. I will have the suggestions given to me in email and my suggested route.

All topics for discussion will be brought up then and the date for the Rally will be set at this time. Expect to spend about 2 hours. If more time is needed a second meeting will be scheduled.

Thanks.

Please excuse me for a little while. My kids are getting out of hand and I need to sort through all this information. Thanks guys. You're all making me so proud to be an American right now!!!!

In that case, I guess I'll have to bring my girlfriends.

Anyone know if Panera is cool with OC ?

Plainfield is just West by Southwest of Indianapolis, a few miles outside 465. Unless I'm badly mistaken, the address for the Panera should be:

Full-screen

Metropolis Mile (#1112) - 2.08 Miles
313 Metropolis Mile, Plainfield, 46168
(317) 837-1583 | phone
(317) 837-1584 | fax

Does anyone know? If not we should find a place that is cool with OC

I'm pretty sure they would not be cool with OC... I seem to recall a thread where a guy OC'd there and the cops were called. Could have been called in by a customer, however.

I have a feeling they would not be cool with it, but not sure.

I do know we are limited becuase Savage wants access to the internet while we meet. This right there limits our options, past that we are even more limited if we want to make this on OC meeting.

 

[colt45er]

We have had several question as to the proper/best way to carry a long gun with a sidearm or just plain how to carry a long arm.

Because of this and to keep this thread more on topic about ideas for our march, please check out

How to carry and long gun and sidearm in public.

If you have experience here, please post for the rest of us to noobs to see. If you ahve questions, post them too!

 

[SavageEagle]

SO sorry for not posting the address! I will update the OP. I will be OCing as always but my shirt will be over it. If they make us leave we can come to my home if the crowd isn't too large. There is plenty of room for parking if there's not a lot of people. I have Wifi. My wife and mother may not like it but I have a garage and a driveway. Not many chairs though.

I'm currently going through all my emails from everyone and making a list. If the maybe's would like to attend the meeting that would be helpful. I will update the OP with the names when I'm finished. If I need any info from anyone I will post it by their name in the OP.

For those who can attend, please remember to bring along any suggestions, concerns, helpful info with you. Route suggestions too. I have mine written down and working on my list of suggestions.

I would like this meeting to be INGO members only for the time being. There most likely will be a second meeting with better planning and organization. This initial meeting will be crucial, however. It will set the tone and road ahead for this March. We want it done right and that's what I aim to do.

Whew. Kids taking a nap. So peaceful....

 

[SavageEagle]

Please continue to use this thread to discuss things for the march. However small they are. A new thread will be created in due time to focus more on just the march and details for such. This thread has gotten WAY too long for folks to search for information in and that's why a new thread will be created with strict posting rules.

But PLEASE continue debating and discussing here. This is the important thread.

Is anyone on here a member opencarry.org. Maybe they can be contacted. If not I guess I could become a member, as this outing will be my first open carry.
