I was able to meet Deros and Grishnav at the Tea Party today and agree that the turnout was excellent. No negative encounters to share, so an all around positive experience. I'll add a few photos of my own to those already posted by Grishnav.

I will also add one funny conversation during the rally where I was approached by a woman wanting to know "Who are you with?" I replied "No one, I'm here as a private citizen" She said that she was just checking because my rather professional looking camera combined with a sidearm made her think I was "FBI or something".:lol: She was worried that perhaps thegovernment was trying to catalog all the dissenters. Fortunately she believed my story and I was able to avoid the whole tar and feather treatment.
Kwiebe... I'm glad your first OC could be such a positive and memorable experience.

I OC at the Colfax event. NO!! I did not OC to make a point at there event. I OC because I always OC. I was their early and could not stay to long. My 4 year old was in a rush to get home and play with his new nerf gun. It looked like they where going to have a good turn out. I talked shop with some of the organizers, one which commented that my gun reminded her that she need to go and by more ammo from Cables. This gave me a good lol as I need to do the same thing.

I'm glad you made it Deros. Sorry I didn't get back to you. I ended up with the kids and a neighbor kid because her mother had to take care of her elderly grandmother. I guess according to Obama I should have told her to call a government agency for help.
Looks like lots of people.

Of course, none of this matters, because as the mainstream media told us, only a few people bothered to show up in D.C. :quirky

I'm of two minds on the long gun carry - if quite a few attendees were to do so, it would definitely muddy the message...
