Evergreen State Second Amendment activists now focusing on Jan. 15
:banana: :monkey

With last Saturday’s “I Will Not Comply” event now history, Evergreen State Second Amendment activists are shifting their focus to an event one month from today on the Capitol steps that will have some heavy-duty backing by two locally-based national gun rights organizations, and the grassroots group that has grown out of the battle against Initiative 594, which took effect earlier this month.

Why on a Thursday?

Would not a weekend date get more participation?

are the legislatures actually going to be there on a weekend? Think about that for a second. It might give you the answer to your question. And maybe if you read the article, that would also answer your question.

Next month’s Olympia event may differ in several ways, not the least of which is that it happens on a weekday/work day – gun owners do have jobs – and the Legislature will be in town. This will allow activists from across the state to visit their district senators and representatives, and explain their concerns about I-594 and several new gun control proposals that have been announced.

My concern was participation, as I said...
While it's nice to have a politician or two in the neighborhood who may see the group,
greater numbers (which a Saturday might allow) might be seen on TV with more effect.

Your highlighted abstract IS my point . I suspect that attendance for media coverage is
important, perhaps as important as creating political influence.


Care to expound?

Why would reward a forum spammer with link clicks?

Dave_pro2A considers Dave Workman to be a forum spammer by starting threads about and posting links to his own columns. Dave_pro2A's feelings largely prompted by this thread:
http://forum.opencarry.org/forums/s...oncerns&highlight=dave+workman+book+concealed

with two pages of his book in post #23 of that thread which appear to be very anti-open carry, but Dave Workman also came on later in that thread to explain himself.

Thanks for the reminder.

4 years later and Workman STILL has not enforced his copyrights on all the articles I linked to in this thread:
http://forum.opencarry.org/forums/s...e-stuff-dope&p=1190406&viewfull=1#post1190406

Opps, there goes his copyright claims.

Look forward to seeing you again Nick. Jim called me and said there's a carload of you guys coming down. Always nice to see adults in the audience ;)

It's my understanding that some of the plaintiffs in the SAF lawsuit against I-594 will also be attending, and it'll give some of you guys a chance to meet.

Great! We have a moron wearing a gas mask in the upper gallery:(

I do not like wearing a suit, but photos/videos that are viewed by the middle of the line type of folks need to see us at our best on television. That moron looks like a character out of Mad Max.

Sounds like a typical leftwing tactic and just like our charming government

*wonders how badly he'll be shot for that :p *

Are we cross about something? You seem a little off center over something.

The anti-gun crowd talks crap about anybody who carries a firearm - except cops - which is to be expected (paranoid, criminals about to snap at any time, etc, etc).
Some of the concealed carry only crowd talks crap about anyone who open carries in any way - cowboy, compensating, cop wannabe, etc, etc, etc.
Some of the pistol only open carry crowd talks crap about long gun open carry.

How many anti-gun people do you hear complaining about other anti-gun people? Almost none. And that is one of the big reasons they win.

In my opinion - it's the fact that we point at others and exclaim "Look at the moron! They are hurting us more than helping us" that hurts us more than the guy wearing the gas mask or the guy safely carrying the LAR-PDS.

I'm not so sure that a guy walking into a business of mine, carrying a firearm like he is, wouldn't be shot before he made it all the way in.

There's a lot about this picture that gives Anti-Gun proponents a lot of ammunition against the responsible members of the "Gun Community".

Why couldn't he have just let it hang from the sling rather than at the ready?

Flame as you wish. Apparently nobody recognizes "stupid" when they see it anymore.
