I know this is not directly related to open carry, however, it is pretty important as far a the 2nd amendment.U.S. Representative Jim Moran (D-Alexandria) was in Old town yesterday to propose stricter gun control and a ban on .50 caliber weapons (http://www.wtopnews.com/index.php?nid=25&sid=791885and http://www.nbc4.com/politics/9219546/detail.html).
Unfortunetly, this guy is my representation (notice I didnot say "represents me")in the U.S. Congress. I have already contacted him via email, I also plan on calling his offices and writing a hand-written letter. I urge everybody else to write their elected officials and tell them where you stand. We need to be vigilant about this, our elected officals need to know that we will not tolerate garbage gun control legislation.
A great website for pro-2nd amendment information is: http://www.gunfacts.info/. This will help you prepare a rebutal for just about any arguement an "anti" throws at you (Notice I said arguement, most "antis" don't like civil conversation and discussion). Remember to be polite...we don't want to gives anti's any reason to portray us worse than they already do.
Ok, last paragraph, I promise...we ALL need to do this...we need to become and stay active. Nobody else is going to do this for us, we need to be loud...gun owners are one of the loudest collective political voices in the country...we can't continue like this...we need to get LOUDER! We need to be the LOUDEST! I have faith in all you fellow 2nd amendment brothers and sisters out there! Thanks for reading my rant!
