Has anyone else heard of a national grassroots rally at all the state capitals being planned for noon on the 19th? Is this getting any traction from the major 2nd Amendment orgs out there? VCDL has lobby day on the 21st here in Virginia, which is to meet with legislators, but this other thing looks like a rally for a larger audience. Anyone have any info?

There is also suppose to be one Feb 8th.

It is a big cluster that isn't well planned and largely unsupported. If you cannot get a major showing, I wouldn't try. It does make it seem like no one cares to support your cause if you are the only one showing up.

there's been a couple posts about this already. as stated above, and as was discussed on the thread in my CT state section, its all about the numbers. if it's poorly planned and low numbers attend, it'll actually hurt the cause making it appear as if noone supports your cause, and therefore would be a bad idea to have at all. but if you can get a large enough group to really stand out, then its well worth it
