If these guys really wanted to get inside the gallery they would:

1) Not make a public announcement of "here we come".
2) Conceal their pistols under jackets.
3) Enter the gallery.
4) Take off their jackets.

I rarely go to any assemblies on the weekend. Why? Uh, nobody is there.

I thought it was a great turnout though ... but should have gone when a session was in session and on a weekday.

Nice job praying .. now you have all been deemed terrorists by the FBI. lol (not that it matters)

I've seen lots of video and image of the gathering. Spoke to a couple of newsies including one photographer. So, what's YOUR crowd size estimate?

You must have missed the part where I generally do not protest at a building where the business is not being conducted.

I know why they did it on the weekend (to get people there) and I think that they did a good job.

Well, here comes some more fallout, and it plays right into the ands of people who don't like preemption.

Times front page signals next gun rights attack: State preemption

Today’s Seattle Times front page reveals, perhaps unintentionally, where the next attack on Washington State gun rights will likely be focused: State preemption, the law passed first in 1983 and reinforced in 1985 that places all regulation of firearms under the authority of the state legislature.

At first I thought bad publiciaty, especially with that whole MSNBC Chris Mathis piece about the open carriers in texas making threats last Thursday.

But then I thought this is America, freedom to assemble, more power to you guys.
