If there was a reason to protest in support of open carry, this would be it. As Cato suggests, it is likely an attempt to ambush us into staging an open carry protest.
With that being a likely situation I propose that we arrange a more well-mannered protest. Banana open carry.
It sounds ridiculous, I know. But by not actually protesting by open carry of guns we might get people to focus on the issue instead of the guns and the police activity. After all, are we protesting the right to open carry, or the departments use of insinuated and veiled threats? By using a different tool and form of protest we can also more comically demonstrate to people the current status of gun laws in California.
I am not talking about stopping open carry altogether, but for this singular protest.
Who's with me?
I think tactically we need to make a speedy answer, so I think next weekend, perhaps Saturday the 23rd.
If you plan on attending I would appreciate an RSVP e-mail be sent to bananaOC@claytonscott.info.
Please let me know:
1. Your screen name
2. Your name, if you choose to communicate that
3. How many people you may bring with you.
4. If, how many, and of what sizes of shirts you would like.
I see this as more than an open carry protest, but a protest against the attitude reflected in the press release. Please inform and bring as many people as you can.
If you have a holster already, then by all means use it. . . Save the money and get one of the t-shirts instead.
If you don't have a holster - you can get one or make it yourself.
The holsters are $8 ea. and can be purchased here: http://www.cellfoam.com
I believe the message should focus more on the police attitude than the open carry movement, but I don't think that we should ignore the movement.
PLEASE DO NOT OPEN CARRY A FIREARM TO THIS EVENT!
