Are empty holsters permisable? Or would that stir the pot negitively?
Is there a dress code? Is everyone expected to wear a suit and tie?
Aside from a note pad and writing impliment is there anything else I should consider taking?
And lastly but most importantly lunch? Are we just going to be sent to the town to invade the resteraunts? Should I pack something?
Again I am very excited I couldn't get off for Greg's trial and I sorely regrete that. But I am looking forward to meeting the faces of the many here.

1. Probably no, but if everyone assumes not, and doesn't bring their firearm in, then maybe yes. I plan to arrive early enough that I hope to be able to take advantage of the limited boxes available, but do have a contingency plan if I'm unable to do so.
2. I intend to wear my empty holster. The last time I was asked if I wanted to check it too, and I chose to, but since their procedure was to clear my weapon before checking it, there's no reason not to just keep it with me. Some facilities allow you to check the firearm loaded and in the holster. In that case, it would make sense to leave it behind or bring a second holster it you wanted to wear an empty one.
3. See my post #47. Dressing 'business casual' is encouraged, but not required. I'll be wearing khakis, button-down shirt and tie, but no jacket.
4. Not that I can think of
5. Last time I was there, we ate from the Capitol cafeteria. By staying 'in house' we were able to talk with some legislators even during lunch. Since they'll be in session after lunch, every minute counts! Also, at the end of the day, Pa. Patriot and myself are going to a nearby 'Sandwich Man' to grab a bite before heading for home. We should probably make an 'official' thread about this soon so everyone knows.
