[Sloth_Fratelli]

Work changed my schedule without notice I'm not gonna be able to make it sorry guys

[2002wranglerX]

Are you shitting me? How do you guys not have a pair of khakis and a collared shirt?

What do you do if you have to go to a funeral, graduation, church,
Etc?

[Super Scout]

Oh no I have dress clothes I just hate wearing them. I'll whore up come wednesday.

[sethman15210]

I own one high end suit, but I won't be wearing it. I don't own khakis either, I'll just be wearing a hole and rip free pair of jeans and a decent shirt. It's supposed to be cold, so there will be a heavy coat on top of it anyway.

[joshs1ofakindxj]

Ya my open carry statement will be out of sight under my winter jacket.

[2002wranglerX]

I predict lots of camo if its that cold out . Jk guys.

[Super Scout]

Thats my issue, I dont really own a nice Coat, I have a "nice carhardt". For funerals I just wear a suit, I have a trench coat my grandpa gave me but it looks straight out an al capone movie so I won't be wearing that lol.... Like I said I think its more important that you just look decent.

[Off-Topic] What tires are you putting on it? [End Off-Topic]

[justin'sbig7]

just cooper discoverer at3's. not rich enough for something super fancy :laughing:

[justin'sbig7]

just a heads up, apparently Harrisburg has a bit of a crime problem and daylight armed robberies are commonplace. they recommend staying in a group and sticking to main routes. I realize that being armed hopefully will be a plus, but in my sheltered bubble i never realized Hburg wasnt so great.

[sethman15210]

That's good info for us, just enforces how useless the government is when it comes to things that matter. For instance, if you go to Washington, D.C. Stay around the capital, dc is one of the worst crime city's in the country. It's a shame they spend all they're resources and time focused on trivial things, instead of taking care of the real criminals.

[justin'sbig7]

up and moving, see yall in irwin

[Dragonslayer]

It seems that the rally's are working. Butler State Rep Daryl Metcalf introducing legislation that would make
it a criminal offense for ANYONE that tries to uphold a federal gun-grab or ban of weapons and accessories
that are currently legal in Pennsylvania. Keep up the pressure guys.

Also on his homepage in the middle, there is a link (Armed Pennsylvania: Say no to gun control) for a petition.

[Azzy]

Good to see you guys there, thanks for heading out.I'll have pics up as possible when back home.

[Super Scout]

It was interesting, we needed more support. There are too many gun owners in this state for there not be a bigger difference in numbers. Hopefully more turn out for the next one

Here are some pics:




And the other side:

[joshs1ofakindxj]

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

[Azzy]

The view from above you guys.


That family with the 5 kids in the top left corner are wearing FOAC shirts

In your pic with the gadsen and culpeper flags, you can see my FAVORITE ex-representative Levdansky on the phone. Claimed for years to be pro gun, but shot down every bill that was, and when we call him on his record, he tries to physically bully you. I have him on video doing it to me at the polls when I caught him breaking the law.

Ive got GIGs of data to go through, and will have vid up when I can.

The gun owners had to go to work to support all the liberals....

[Super Scout]

My paycheck will be about 200 dollars lower, but I felt this was more important. We all have to work, but the cause needs more support. I was 10 in 1994, and from what I understand very few people knew about the ban. I often wonder if the ones who did know thought there was no chance it could past.
I spoke personally with a few reps for the most part they had a lot of positive things to say. I however did not leave with an overwhelming feeling that we were free and clear. We need to keep fighting, keep calling, keep emailing, and reach out to gun control advocates to explain our position.
We spent about 20 minutes with a group of high school kids that were with ceasefire (on a school trip). They were open minded and honestly I feel that even if we didn't change their minds they may have left a little skeptical of the information they received. If we convinced one of them it was worth it. Thats the only way we will win this.

[Seismik]

That's cool that the kids were at least open minded enough to listen to what you had to say. And thanks to you guys for going out to represent.

And my comment was meant to be more of a joke than anything, but since you want to take it all serious and stuff, I wouldn't have even known about the rally if Justin didn't post it up here. I wanted to come, but didn't have the option to take the day off work. It wasn't a matter of a lower paycheck, it was a matter literally being required to be in my office yesterday.

I was 16 in 1994 and didn't know anything about what was going on either, but then again, my parents didn't own guns at the time and weren't very politically active either.
