I haven't lost interest, I'll definitely be there. We're still more than 4 weeks away. I imagine there'll be more discussion in the next month.
I vote for "no one in charge". We can organize pretty easily without a leader. Plus that keeps any overzealous cops or politicians from singling out anyone.

Agreed.
I suggest Sunday May 17th, some time between 10am and noon at the Buffalo Wild Wings on Craig.
Saturday seems to be peoples "day off", no work, sleeping in, kids out with friends, no church, etc.
I help organize a hot rod show every Sunday morning at the Sante Fe and I can honestly say that more people showed up on Sundays than when other car shows i've done were held on Saturday.
I'll bring a couple cases of water and soda

Vin Suprynowicz is a Las Vegas resident, authorand columnist for the Review Journal. He is very freedom oriented and a staunch supporter of the Constitution and it wouldn't hurt to invite him. His personal website is http://www.vinsuprynowicz.com
I'd definitely like to participate as well. I'm a Vegas resident where I know it's not usually a problem to OC but do the laws differ in North Vegas? Jail sucks and getting your firearm back can be more than a pain sometimes and I'd like to know how the Northside laws may be different before hand.

Apparently, she didn't know about it. In the event that someone gets arrested for something that the PD doesn't know is preempted, then you can't get convicted for it, and it's considered a false arrest. It's not our job to make sure the politicians and police know the law, just like it isn't their job to make sure we know. "Ignorance of the law is no excuse"

Quick question, I've never participated in an OC event, but I definitely will this one. Why not have the meet up at a more visible location in Las Vegas proper?
I'm not trying to throw a wrench in to the works but it would seem to me that this isn't a very visible area and we might benefit from somewhere with more traffic. What are the reasons for this location as opposed to any other in town? Any thoughts or ideas on this?
Admittedly I am not very familiar with this part of town and I am NOT trying to tick anyone off, I'm just trying to learn what the motivation is for picking a particular area.
Thanks!

So does everyone think May 17th at 10 or 11am at the Buffalo Wild Wings on Craig would be okay? Then head over to Lake Mead and Bruce around 12 - 1pm? I'll bring some trash bags and water (in coolers with ice of course).
Does anyone have a truck or access to a truck to haul away some of the trash?

Sorry for being so negative in regards to this subject, but I just don't trust too many politicians until they give me reason to, which means that I don't trust to many politicians period.

Don't be too afraid. What the LAW says and what SHE says are two different things and luckily the law trumps her word.
There is no law prohibiting open carry in NV, other than the handgun registration in clark county (minus boulder city), state preemption prevents NLV or any other Nevada city from enacting laws stronger than the states. Cities can only regulate where one may shoot.

On the up side, a test case would get it all straightened out for good.

I am an Arizona guy and wish you all great success! If I had the weekend free, I would be there to support you.
If you want extra bodies, once the plans are finalized, you should post on the Arizona section. I'm sure there would be a lot of interest to support you guys.
