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

[draftyranger]

I will be there. Just put in for a vacation day for Friday!

 

[Car Ramrod]

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.

If no one worries about it, then who will be bringing signs?

 

[davidc912]

Ambiguous they...? I guess... man, that could be embarrassing, I'd better make a sign.

 

[Hammer]

I have dropped fliers off to 4 gun shops that I pass every day. Trying what I can to get the word out.

It's just like the people who sit at home thinking someone else will stand up for their rights. If everyone thinks everyone else is doing it, then who is actually doing it?

What kind of message should be on the sign? If I decide to bring one, I think a good message is important, since it's likely going to be the only thing people walking by get from this. I don't want anything that's going to make them think we're some crazy group that needs to be ignored. Even one sign that implies something that can be interpreted as irrational, will be what the media takes and runs with. I just want to make sure I don't hinder the cause in anyway.

 

[davidc912]

Yeah, got the whole family in on the 'Do' part... Just need to make the 'Why' part is well explained so that FOX59 doesn't say that we're just a militia trying to intimidate shoppers with our machine guns.

"An Armed Society is a Polite Society" is always a good one. Robert Heinlein has other good quotes as well.

 

[RabbleRouser]

this is always a crowd favorite

 

[KellyinAvon]

I'll be there, looking forward to it. The weather looks like it'll cooperate.

 

[MikeDVB]

Myself and the wife will be there, already have a babysitter lined up.

Thanks! I searched "Robert Heinlein" and ran across this site. It has some good ones! I just don't want one too wordy or no one will read it.

Thank you! That's been my point this whole time. 28,000 registered members and we can't even get .5% to say they're going.

I will be there; rain, shine, or snow.

Calm down. Have you perused the member list lately? Have you noticed how many "registered" users have zero posts? How many "registered" users' last log-in date is the same as their registration date, and that was 2 years ago.

We don't have nearly 28,000 USERS on this board. Hell, arfcom probably doesn't have that many. Okay, maybe, when ALL the forums are counted they might.

I almost didn't vote in the poll. But I'm going. Bringing at least one other, maybe two.

Chillax!

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.

See? That poll don't mean nothing.

 

[Hammer]

For those of you that are on the fence, I'll leave this for you to ponder.

I remember reading on here of a good place to get sign materials where did they say that was, I specifically looking for the place that was mentioned here, not any ransom place. I realize you cam get sign material almost anywhere.

I purchased some 20" x 30" foam core board at Office Max, two boards for $11.99. I also had them print my poster out for me. I used double sided tape to stick it to the foam core board. If you want to take an extra step, pick up some light weight vinyl at Joanne's Fabrics and wrap your poster, I used packing tape to hold it tight around the edges. This will protect the poster in case of inclement weather, and will keep the ink from wearing off on your hands.

Tip: When you create your poster, remember to keep the dimensions in the same proportion as the poster you are having printed. If your poster is 20 x 30, then keep the same proportions when you create your file (for example 10 x 15). Office Max told me to bring in a pdf file. Most programs will allow you to save your work as a pdf file. As long as the proportions are correct, Office Max can blow it up to the size of your poster board.
