Peaceful 2nd Amendment Gathering at the State Capitol - Feb 8 2013

[millsusaf]

I will be there. I hope many more will be too.

I'll be there, been trying to get others that I know are like-minded to commit, so far not many are up for it! This situation sickens and disgusts me, we should be able to easily field at least 3000 or 4000 members to go to this, and we can't get even 100 to say that they will be going? WTF?

Do you all want to see your right to self defense crash and burn? Or are you waiting until it's too late? Do you think that you will be safe because you only have revolvers and a shotgun? Guess what people, if we do not WAKE UP, and stand united NOW we may not have any rights left!!!!

I'd much rather guarantee our rights peacefully on the sidewalk than on an urban battlefield!

COME ON!!!

"Oh that won't happen here." I bet a lot of people in Britain and Australia thought the very same thing.

It disgusts me to no end.

Some people have a great understanding of our legislative process and what it would take for a bill to become law. Some may even say that speaking to our state and local legislative body is not the right audience. Also, knowing that House Speaker John Boehner doesn't plan to take up any legislation addressing gun control may be enough for them to feel comfortable.

Sometimes perception is believed to be reality. If we have a low turnout, some just may believe the stories that "even gun owners believe there is a need for further regulation." After all, if that were not true, why wouldn't they say something?

I meet a lot of INGO members who say they never post, but enjoy the site. I hope they are among the numbers who show up this Friday.

If anyone from Evansville wants to carpool PM me. Looking forward to represent!

I'm going to be a few minutes late, but will be there. Plan on having a camera to take pictures of the picture takers, if you know what I mean.

If I ever find a ride from South Bend here are two of the signs I'll have made up

 

[kiddchaos]

Fyi. I believe you can setup free events using eventbrite.com, if you ever decide to try that. Cheers and thank you.

...

Is the NRA promoting/supporting this event?

 

[Classic]

A lot of folks are busy with the really important things in life, you know ball sports, what Snooky and Jwoww are doing, and who lip-synched or what costume they wore at the Super Bowl. No time for mere constitutional issues.

I bet if this event had Indy 1500 in the name, attendance would soar. I feel like those of us that are posting to this thread are "preaching to the choir." We need to reach the others that are not reading this thread. We have only had 121 votes on the poll. Any ideas on bringing more member's to this thread? And again, make sure you are contacting your government officials every week. Ruger makes it real easy:

I've got 4 people riding with me, don't think they voted or posted in this thread. My single yes vote counts as 5.

I am debating on what I should carry this Friday. It will either be my AR, or my short barreled, tactical assault hammer.

The AR will get more attention from passersby, but hammers kill more people each year. So, it's a toss up.

Suggestions?

Did you really made that thing yourself?
I think you could always carry both.

Would you believe I bought this as a hunting hammer from Menards, with no background check, and within about an hour I had it converted to an EBH? This loophole must be closed!

The Facebook page for this event has over 500 people saying they're attending. I think that should look pretty good on the sidewalks, considering we have to spread out to allow for public access. Of course, the more the merrier!

Also, where are all of you guys planning on parking? I'm going by myself and don't really know where to go... other than the State Capital of course.
And are most of you going to bring signs? If so, is it going to be weird if I don't bring a sign?

Sorry for all the questions.

There's a link in the OP.

On their page they say that there will be plenty of signs and not to worry about it... They're more concerned about a solid turnout.

My FN space gun will be my pro 2A sign... my son's bringing his Swiss-ish sign, and my wife's bringing our Italian pistol caliber carbine sign. Well, those and our EDC's. I feel like we're personally covered on messaging.
