Second Amendment Second to None Rally in Harrisburg (Capitol Building Rotunda, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania): April 7th, 2008

[ithinkimamedic]

It fits into my schedule so I'm going to throw it out there that I will make it. Hope there is a good turn out!

Any idea on a suggested attire? I'm assuming (and we know what that will cause) that T-shirt and jeans just won't cut it, maybe I'm wrong? As always I would like to give a good impression of gun owners (not that jeans and T-shirt looks bad). Someone in the know if you could shead some light onto this please.

Cheers
Josh

Good Question Medic........

I am definitely going to try to make this one

[Pa. Patriot]

I'll be wearing dress slacks, shirt, tie and blazer.

I would suggest "business casual" at a minimum.

I'm also going with business casual.

No smiley faces with a bullet hole, people..

This is what I was expecting. Good to hear I'm not the only one thinking this way. Can the tie have the smiley face with bullet hole on it's forehead?!?!? just kidding!
Excellent gentlemen. thank you.

Unfortunately part of the deal of dragging my girlfriend to Pittsburgh with me was that I had to help her work on her resume last night and didn't get a chance to do PAFOA stuff.

No sweat dan. I knew you have other commitments a couple of nights a week. Didn't mean to nag, just wanted to confirm it was being considered.

The suggestions already offered are good ones. I'll be wearing khaki's, button-down shirt, and tie. I'm not wearing a sport jacket because I intend to display my empty holster as a part of my message.

I have mixed feelings about the whole "dress up to impress" concept. When I was there last fall, I wore new jeans, and a very nice flannel shirt. I wanted to project a 'normal guy' image, but not a 'dumb hick' image.

Dirty bibs won't cut it, but I don't think a designer suit is needed in order to validate our message. I would be more impressed with a clean casual outfit than a suit that looks like it was slept in overnight.

I've personally come to the realization that given my own experiences and strong beliefs on these issues, my own participation in such activities will be ongoing. Like it or not, I am now recognizable and known to many. As such, I feel the need to 'take it up a notch', more than I would if I were just another voice, with no particular story to tell. I hope this doesn't come across as conceited or self-serving. It is just a small glimpse into my thought process.

Above all, wear comfortable shoes! You'll be on your feet most of the day.

Sadly, these important threads rarely generate much traffic.

OK, that's fixed now.

Hmmm, I might be able to attend this one. Until a few minutes ago, I thought my class schedule precluded this, but now... very interesting... I'll have to see if I can get myself from CMU to the Allegheny County Sportsmen's League buses (I don't think the 67A runs at that ungodly hour in the morning) and back...

I'm not sure if I can attend, but I will definitely pass this along.
