Re: Harrisburg 23 Jan 2013 1100 start
I just want to note here, the capital police have been very supportive of us. Please do not do anything that would hurt that relationship.
Should the NRA ,GOA and such be contacted about this?

I think carrying long guns goes directly to #1, especially since "assault weapons" are the bogeyman in the current round of gun control proposals. Of course we oppose any and all gun control, but an AWB and mag limits are what are being pushed right now by the antis.
A bunch of law abiding people carrying AR's and AK's sends a visible message that normal ordinary people own them and use them legally without harming anyone.If you don't know who your state legislators are go here:

Re: Harrisburg 23 Jan 2013 1100 start
Thank you for doing this.
So we either
1. Don't bring long guns
2. Bring long guns, but don't enter the Capitol
3. Bring long guns, and leave them with one or more of our people who will wait outside the Capitol while the rest of us enter
Other options?
Again, I am fine with any or all of the above.
Keep in mind. I am not making any "rules." I am simply trying to organize the information. I have offered my opinions, as I expect us all to do, but I'll go with whatever serves the best interest of the group and the rally.I Dial 1911

I was thinking maybe someone would volunteer a vehicle for long guns to be left in, with a couple of volunteers to keep an eye on it.
I assume that most of the event will be outdoors, followed by people entering the capital building to talk to reps and senators if they are there.If you don't know who your state legislators are go here:

I was denied entry because I refused to produce a driver's license, and despite assurances from FOAC leadership that the situation "would be addressed", jack shit was done.
If FOAC and the "pro-gun" legislators want to impress me, they can start by bringing the Capitol police into compliance with the law, instead of giving them a public reach-round when rally time comes around each year.Get your "Guns Save Lives" stickers today! PM for more info.

Re: Harrisburg 23 Jan 2013 - Note to the Elders
Good points. Yes, we are amateurs. Yes, we have been very openly soliciting advice and assistance from experienced folks.
For the experienced people: You can choose to either mock us, laugh at us, or watch us fail- or you can step up and help us make this a success.
I would think the latter is the best choice
Also- instead of finding all the reasons for this event to fail, how about some advice and help in shaping it into a good model for success?
I hope this request is also being taken in the good spirit in which it is intended.I Dial 1911
