Arrested by the Philadelphia Police for Open Carry

That would be beautiful but I'm not sure you could find a rep willing to engage in overt activism like that...

Not sure I'd call normal legal activity "overt activism". No more than walking a dog in a park. Anyone ever stopped for dog walking openly without a license?

No, but how many people drive 300 miles just to walk their dog?

We need no reason whatsoever for why we are walking down the streets we pay for. "Sir, why are you openly carrying a firearm?" Because the turnpike tastes like jello. We don't need any explaination at all. And there should be plenty of people within 30 miles of Philly who can show up for this event. Hell, we should be able to come up with 100 from just Philly alone. We won't, but we should.

I hear that people are frequently fined in Neshaminy State Park if their DOG doesn't have a license.

I'm not saying it's wrong or illegal. I'm just saying that it would raise a lot of questions why a state rep from Somerset was stopped in Philadelphia for openly carrying a firearm with a camera in tow. It would *look* like activism, and for a politician, looks are reality. And that's who we were originally talking about - getting a state rep from out west to come to Philly and be seen carrying openly. But I agree - there should be plenty enough in Philly alone to raise awareness without going too far out afield.

Oh yeah.

I, too, commend the new guy. But there's something missing...

Oh yeah: camera guy. So we can put "Sinner Man" as the background music and go Youtube.

I haven't done much as far as following this thread lately, but I can say with absolute certainty that if such a walk/event is arranged (or any for that matter), I'll be there with my DSLR camera for high quality stills as well as full 1080p HD video.

I'll just CC so that I can blend into the background. lol. I would love to get some candid "scaring innocent women and children" shots.

How many would be up for a getting together on the 22nd.

hard commitments. If not its not worth talking about anymore.

:edit:

I'll go ahead and retract that idea, then, given the very next post...

I hope that your proposing this for AFTER the big protest/counter rally at Delia's and NOT actually AT Delia's. Cause if so, I can tell everyone unequivocally that OCing at the Heeding God's Call thing is NOT wanted ! Thats not what the gathering from our side is doing there, there is almost certain to be a media presence, the numerous Civil Affairs Officers that are always there are near universally on our side, including over looking minor things the religious nuts bitch about. The Delia's protest is NOT the place to make an issue of OCing, even though I agree and fully support the idea currently being discussed.
