I think the locals should all coordinate and establish a Mon., Wed., Fri. schedule, then the rest of us from farther away can all meet up with them every weekend.:lol:

Okay, I just read about ten pages of that thread before tiring out. Good lord, sounds like an ugly scene, but looks like it may become one of those defining moments the Penna. gun rights community will speak much of in the future. It very much parallels some of the events in Virginia over the past 5 years or so, and it sounds like the response will be similar.

I am surprised to find out that the Penna. state cops are keeping an illegalgun registry though! I didn't know that when I was living there (of course I rightly assumed some nefarious characters were keeping a list anyway).

Folks - what do you think about holding a protest march outside Dickson City City Hall this week - like maybe Wednesday or Thursday?

We could stand outside with signs saying "FREE THE GUN!" or "HABEAS ARMA!" etc.

How many folks could make a say 2-3 PM protest??

It would depend on the day for me. Technically I have off both days, but I'll need to work one of them, though possible both.

I too believe that the matter of the stolen firearm will be resolved early in the week. I'm headed out of town to KY very early Thursday morning and won't be back until lunch or so on Monday. Getting Wednesday off too would be difficult, but probably not impossible.

Just to the West, we are watching closely. I believe this is going to have a positive outcome for gun owners in PA, seeing how Rich seems determined to make it so. PA PATRIOT seemsto be avery appropriate screen name for him.:cool:

TO follow up on my earlier post, SonicWall has reviewed my request and emailed me to say they are changing the category of pafoa.org from "weapons" to "political advocacy groups", so for us Panera-eating yuppies out here, this is a good thing!

As of Noon, Sunday, nothing on the Dickson City police website (maybe they don't update the police log on weekends?), nor anything at all in the Scranton Times.

I'm assuming the Press Release was sent to the newspaper?

And what would be the best newspaper to send it to near Dickson City??

Unfortunately, Panera Bread uses Sonic Wall blocking, which has categorized pafoa.org as a forbidden site for "weapons", so I'll have to wait until I get home to read the thread.

When Sonic Wall blocks a website, it provides a link to comment on the blocking action. I went to the link and asked them re-categorize pafoa as a political advocacy site instead of a scary weapons site, explaining that they are blocking political discourse and so on. I suggest you guys go there and also leave a message explaining why it shouldn't be blocked. The URL to the comment site is:

and the url you want to cite is, of course,

Mike, PM sent with multiple website addresses.

It's the Scranton (Pa.) Times-Tribune.

4:30 p.m. on Sunday, still nothing on the newspaper site or on the Dickson City Police Department site.

Gee, the people at WBRE-TV may regret not sending a news crew for the roust. Geez, and I had four TV newscrews parked in front of my house when all I did was recommend a local ordinance requiring homeowners keep a firearm in their house.

Like I said, guys, before I sent my comment, SonicWall blocked it, now they are saying they won't anymore. It appears I got through, though I won't know until I get to a public hot spot that uses SonicWall's service.

Good job on getting that changed!

I will have one of my guys test it at our corporate office tomorrow. I use SonicWall to secure our corporate network.

I posted the link on another forum I frequent, since there are a few pro-carry people there. This is what one of them (I had forgotten he was from Philly. Oops), a guy who carries concealed every day, and has gotten detained at a bank at least once while concealed, had to say in response to the thread.

Awesome.

I'm having a hard time translating your quote. Is he saying what I think he's saying?
