Anyone else attending a Tea Party Rally? And will you be open carrying?
I'll be in Cincinnati at the Tea Party on the 15th, but I did OC atthe Cincinnati Tea Party a week or so ago

I'm trying, so far without success, to fan the flames for OC at the Nashville party. Fortunately in Tennessee OC is much less of an issue.

For those unable to OC, this could be a real teaching op.

OC an empty holster, and carry a sign saying something to the effect of "ask me why my holster is empty".

If I'm able to wake up in time for the event (as I work 3rd shift) I will be open carrying. Finally saw the location will be in a place that carrying a firearm is not prohibited.

That is an excellent idea.. I would go so far as to make a shirt that said that..

My holster is empty.. ask me why!

I will be attending the Eugene Tea Party on tax day.. I am starting a fast in the morning to make sure I am lean, mean and faster than a liberal...

I was watching the G20 coverage on Fox News when it hit me. Have we had any rumors or even hints of counter-protesters, perhaps even some trying to provoke violence, at the tea parties?

After two generations these people are very skilled at what they do and I doubt the police would care much which side got bloodied.

I have no knowledge of any threats but it pays to think ahead.

I hope I don't sound like a Jeremiah.
