My cousin and I went to Harrisburg. Had a good time. I guessed around 5 or 6 hundred, he heard it was a thousand in attendance. I think it turned out good, considering a lot of people didn't hear about it, and the gun owners were all split up around the country, attending a lot of guns shows, gun ranges and rallies. Collectively, it was a good show of love for the second amendment!

Salem Oregon rally. Crowd reports are between 1000 and 3000 depending on who you talk to. I'd guess about 2,000 from what I saw and a quick head count of 400 sf of the crowd quickly multiplied by an estimate of how large the area filled was, then accounting for the "outliers" who were across the street and on the fringes.

Short video from the steps and then showing the crowd is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHOkiC2c5-Q
