Re: Arrested by the Philadelphia Police for Open Carry
Traditionally, they have been showing up a little past 4pm and staying till about 5:30 or so. Its harder to tell for something of the size I expect them to pull this Friday though. I'll try to get ahold of Lucinda or Jeff tommorrow and ask them what time they started showing up last Good Friday at Shooter Shop. As for me, I plan on being there by sometime between 1 or 2 pm at the latest. My daughter is off from school for Easter Break at the end of the week so........ Its not like I need an excuse to jaw bone at the local shootin establishment before the festivities start. Besides, there was talk of us setting up food and tasty beverages and possibly even some "props" for our side, that stuff takes time.

Re: Arrested by the Philadelphia Police for Open Carry
I concur for several reasons. Primarily OC at Delia's very well might cause a secondary issue that in the end could ecplise the intended issue. We don't need the distraction. Also, before the first appearance at Delia's I asked Fred about OC and he requested it not be done, for the same reason as above. Note I said requested, he also stated people can do as they wish, he just prefer that they didn't. Let's just fight one battle at a time.

Re: Arrested by the Philadelphia Police for Open Carry
With regards to a gathering, if someone has a Revolutionary War replica flintlock pistol they can OC I'm sure that would make a great photo op. The imagery associated with these weapons as tools against tyranny is well ingrained in people. If the worst happens, the unspoken message of a picture showing an officer confiscating that would really sum up the issue well.
Just make sure it's unloaded, you know the cops would have no clue how to handle it safely, and the possibility of a negligent discharge would be even higher than usual.

Re: Arrested by the Philadelphia Police for Open Carry
Why isnt it just as valid a reason to not do so because it would unduly distract from the reason we are there, it would give our opponents ammunition to use to paint us ( and the shop by proxy) in a negative light by the almost certain to be present media and would be enough of a polarizing act to force the generally nuetral Civil Affairs guys to go " by the book " instead of overlooking minor things the religious nuts complain about that works in our favor ?
They seem like equally valid reasons to me. Just sayin..........Si vis pacem, para bellum

Re: Arrested by the Philadelphia Police for Open Carry
You're really trying to argue that carrying while in the act of supporting a gun shop would distract from the reason we are there?
it would give our opponents ammunition to use to paint us ( and the shop by proxy) in a negative light by the almost certain to be present media
and would be enough of a polarizing act to force the generally nuetral Civil Affairs guys to go " by the book " instead of overlooking minor things the religious nuts complain about that works in our favor ?
