Bay Beach or stay home.......
The next time we have a picnic it should not be a circus. Nothing which would hint at a "special event".
No media should be a given. Wecould havean E-mail tree so that the details can be communicated with OPSEC. This should be for all practical purposes an "ordinary" picnic where some attendees just happen to be exercising their right to Open Carry. At this point, there is no reason to broadcast picnic intentions to the world.
As was suggested earlier, the next "event" should be a neighborhood block party. I don't think that anyone has done an OC block party yet??????
