    Harrisburg Rally thread

    Figured I would start a thread so we don't clutter the others.
    Jan 23rd is the rally to counter the cease fire rally.

    Who is planning to go?

    I'll be there. It was requested and suggested to not bring long guns due to the counter rally. It is best to look and act professional and have a big turnout. The media will demonize anyone who gets out of line and it could hurt worse than not even showing up.

    I am trying to recruit some others too. Mark, Josh, you guys want to ride together, we are all kinda local. Justin we could meet you in Breezewood. Figure it would just be easier if we rode together. I have no idea what to do, except wear pants and leave my rifle at home.

    You could meet me at my place outside West Newton. I know you know where that is.

    I'm going to dress business casual with dockers and a button down. No camoflauge. Let's not propogate the NRA stereotype. I will open carry as well. Probably going to make a sign with some glitter n at.

    We need to be in HBG at 9AM. That means leaving at like 530.

    FML!

    Whoever ends up driving all the way to hbg should get some gas money. I don't mind driving the avalanche all the way out.

    I am good with meeting in breezewood and hauling out. I am contemplating shaving the beard and will definitely be donning biz casual attire as well. I am slightly Leary of OC, although its legal this can be a sketchy event with the CFPA crowd.

    I'd be in for this....I'd be willing to chip in for gas money to pay for a seat no problem, possibly even to accept some gas money to drive depending on the circumstances. What time are we looking to be back in the area? I work at midnight Wednesday into Thursday...need enough time in the evening to get ready.

    The rally is over at 2, I figure leave harrisburg at 3 or so, get back to the area around 6-630. That sound reasonable to everyone else. Any Idea on where we want to meet ?

    I understand everyone has work, I get that, I have work. But, this is no longer just about guns. Its about government that thinks they own us, thinks they own you. They are crushing our constitutional rights, if we can't come together now, than when. I am losing money, and dressing up two things I hate a lot. But, it needs to be done. A line must be drawn, they need to know that they CANNOT do this.
    If it sounds like I am giving everyone a hard time I am. Stand up fellas, be heard. I read the other day that only 15% of gun owners have called their reps. Its an embarrassment. We have a voice, we need to be heard. Once they have our guns they will take everything else.
    People have called me a fear mongerer for speeaking about Obama, I said taxes will go up, healthcare will be socialized, and he will try to take our guns. I have been 100% right. Its time to take the fight to them. So knuckle up fellas.

    yup, and doing it tactfully is key. keep up the fight, i have been losing sleep over much of this and i think justifiably so. there is more polarization going on right now, and in all honesty i think more than 15% has been contacting reps. all the ones i have called have stated they are getting more calls than normal, we need to overwhelm them with correspondence.

    I've been losing sleep on this also. Glad to see everyone staying calm and representing the responsible gun owners. Those opposing us would love to provoke someone to react crazy to gain support for their agenda. Not sure if I am going yet.

    if all goes according to their plan, at least she wont be able to shoot you.

    I can meet anyone wanting to ride out from the pgh area at monroeville @ the lowes parking lot.those coming from latrobe GBG area, would the greensburg turnpike exit work to meet? I can also stop at breezewood and pick up the folks there, but thats a long way down the tpke when we could meet closer and save some driving for yall.

    Ok, so we have so far:
    Justin
    Josh +1
    Steve
    Sethman (Seth I assume?)

    Maybe:
    Mark
    Chris

    Pamtnbiker driving self to be back for obligation.

    Is this list correct?

    I can fit 5 (4+me) large adults very comfortably in the truck with room to spare. How about we meet at either Irwin or greensburg 76 interchange (those familiar, which one has better parking to leave vehicles?)
