Got there at 12:20. Walked around. Didn't see any police. Didnt see any reporters. Didn't see any OC' ers. Didn't see any guns. Didn't see any bananas. Ate a crab and went home.

Pro-Gun Activists Plan to Walk the Pier Despite Possible Arrest
- Thread starter ryanburbridge
- Start date
Last minute hail mary carry
Last minute civil wrangling on the part of the Greens and some fine folks from Bay Area Open Carry
Cleared the way for carry on the strand and the parking levels. This allowed contact with alot of other
people. We walked to Rubys for lunch and nothing but good contacts there and back. Plus a few who were not carrying did cover the pier shopping center. Sorry you missed it, hope
to see you next month in Hermosa.

I'm really offended by some of you that say "photos or it didn't happen" and those that don't show up because its open holster. Why don't you folks show up to the events open carry or open holster? The point remains the same, stand up for your 2nd amendment civil rights.
I don't mean to deter people from showing up. I simply try to cover my ass from those that would try to blame me in the even they get cited by police when police threaten arrest and charges for illegal laws! I did my damnedest to make the open carry happen and showed up at 8am today with a trick up our sleeves to make it so we could open carry in as much area as possible on the pier.
I want to commend all those that showed up despite the risk and despite the open holster threat. You are all TRUE patriots. The rest of you can show your patriotism at our next event at Fiesta Hermosa.
Carry on.

I happen to be the one that said, "Pictures or it didn't happen". Not long ago at the link below, I stated that I carry a PPK James Bond gun. Someone stated, " Pictures or it didn't happen". Rather than getting offended, I got out my camera and took a pic and posted it. If you're that easily offended, it's your problem, not mine.
The reason I didn't show up at the Redondo Beach event is....Considering the fact that I live on Social security and gas is $3.15 a gallon where I live, I don't have the financial means to make your event. However, I do attend some local events. Also, please don't question my patriotism. You are not my judge.

Get off each other's nuts, 'pics or it didn't happen' is a common phrase on the internet used to describe a desire to see pictures. Sure if you say, 'i just got a completely legal full auto m16' people will say 'pics or it didn't happen'...jeez, its not necessarily a mark of incredulity, so play nice.

Harley, I would have to agree with the above post. I don't think Gundude was attacking you or questioning your honesty, but simply using a common phrase to relay to you that it would be cool to see some pictures.
I recently used the same phrase when one of my friends posted (on Facebook) he was in Sturgis for the bike rally. I certainly wasn't doubting that he was in Sturgis (I know he goes every year) , but was rather just stating my desire to see some pictures. ( He has sent me some, although none of them were of motorcycles but were very pleasing to the eyes. LOL )

You keep perpetuating negativity with your responses. One must wonder, why?
Nowhere in his first response to you did he question YOUR patriotism, rather, he simply thanked those that DID come out. And then he offered a possible solution to your financial woes in his next response, yet you post this crap.
Nobody's judging you but I will make an assumption... curmudgeon.

I was just making points to try to clear the apparent issue at hand. None of which you addressed. You said he questioned your "patriotism". How exactaly? When offered help, you declined. Ok, but you make it sound as though being magnanimous is a bad thing.
I could just as easily say "sadly, one feels he must ask to see pictures in a snide manner as opposed to politely".
Perhaps internet forums aren't for you.

I'll be magnanimous, and let yours be the last word.

So never heard what happened during this walk?
So did this work for you guys I did hear that it may become a "holster" only event and also heard that the pier was being classed as a "Park " . Which was proved to a point that it wasn't but the council decided it was! Whats wrong with that equation ?

I did not make it to this event. I wish I had because it sounds like they UOC after all. Just not on the pier. The couple that have started this group are doing a GREAT job. The first event that I was at went very smooth with no police contact. I met a few people that had no idea about the LAW befor this group orginized. This group will continue to grow. Let's see what happens after the ban.
