Of course I had those last minute errands to run and missed the event. Just got home and wished I could've been there. This is such a crock of BS, especially after the backpedalling and story switching.
+1 on the write up. It's hard to say if the organizers of the event took the time to check out the gun policies of the establishment beforehand. I doubt they did. However, it is big-time hypocrisy to be an advertisedvenue for such things and not support 2A. We'll see how this all plays out.
Well, here's writeup #2:uhoh:

Is the Tea Party Anti-Gun
Just imagine planning a Civil Rights Rally…and holding it in a Ku Klux Klan Hall.
Boy howdy, think how surprised those folks looking to enforce their rights under God and the United States Constitution, would be, when they’re greeted by a gentleman with a hood on his head and a noose in his hand and a smile on his face. Nothing like good planning.
Today, I briefly attended the off site Washington D.C. Tea Party. It was held at Bailey’s Pub and Grille in Chesterfield.
As most readers know, I am or was, a strong supporter of the Richmond Tea Party. I’ve done photo stories on several of them.
The last one was at the Chesterfield Fairgrounds. Great location…except for one little detail. They closed all the Fairground parking lots to everyone but persons actually working there, and the only other parking was at the school across the street.
And you ask, what’s the problem? Well, it’s illegal to bring a firearm onto school property in Virginia. CHP holders may leave the weapon in their vehicle but common folks can’t even do that. Violation is one of those major, gonna get you arrested and thrown in a cell with Big Bubba, kind of laws.
Did the Tea Party Care….Hell no! One can pass over one little error like that as Purdy Stoopid, but forgivable.
Enter today’s faux pas. The off site rally was held at Bailey’s which is so anti gun, it’s foaming at the mouth. See todays story about my adventures in Baileyland.
Bailey’s Pub and Grille.. A Haven for Criminals ? After my encounter with the Manager at the door, I went back to the Rally and spotting this Gentleman, whom looked important, I aked “Who’s in charge here”? He acknowledged he was.
I asked him why they would choose to promote an anti gun establishment. He said they weren’t anti gun, they just didn’t want any guns in here.
Well hush my mouth…just how in hell does that make any sense? So I asked, “Is that the best answer you can come up with?”
Obviousely busy counting heads, he said “Look Call VCDL”.
I told him I was a VCDL member and as of the last meeting, we still had our guns on.
His reply before he turned and snipped away…”Tell VCDL to pick the place next time”.
Now I always like to give people the benefit of the doubt, but that boy ain’t right! My concluion is that the Richmond Tea Party just flat doesn’t give a damn about gun rights. There’s no other explanation!
I invite the Tea Party to explain these two lapses in judgment. I’ll happily print them.
Until then
