Re: 2014 2nd Amendment Action Day & lobbying event.
Home from rally. Weather was less than pleasant. More people than I expected with the weather. More people carrying long guns than last year! ! ! ! Meet a few more pafoa members. . . . A lot better than having to have to go to work today! ! !

Would like to have seen a few more supporters there but not a bad crowd for a rain soaked day

I went the last two years, but couldn't get off from work this year. Big thank you to those who made the trip!

Re: 2014 2nd Amendment Action Day & lobbying event.
It was great to see everybody today, even though I got soaked!
Firearms check was not very efficient at all this year...I did go early but they were only taking one person at a time and not in a timely manner or orderly fashion.

Re: 2014 2nd Amendment Action Day & lobbying event.
And....some capitol police were still advising people to go to the Commonwealth ave entrance to check weapons. At Commonwealth ave no capitol cops were saying anything about having to go somewhere elsd to check anything.....until one got to the front of the line. Assholes.

Re: 2014 2nd Amendment Action Day & lobbying event.
A couple of very wet pics from the rally. Just wish they would have found the volume knob on the speakers so that you could hear anything.

Re: 2014 2nd Amendment Action Day & lobbying event.
Attendees were advised to check their firearms BEFORE the rally to make it quicker to assemble the teams inside to lobby. I was standing outside the East entrance from 9-10am with forms advising people to go to the alternate entrance. Maybe you would volunteer next year to do the same AFTER the rally to help others?

Re: 2014 2nd Amendment Action Day & lobbying event.
It was a cold rainy day. My appreciation and thanks to all those who showed up anyway. Here are some of my observations:
1) quite a few people carrying Evil Black Riffles. I believe I heard one of them being interviewed by the Associated Press. I may have to do a search and see how they portrayed him.
2) It appeared that most people this year stayed for the political action after the rally. I didn't see many people walking away after the rally was over. This is a good thing.
3) There were a few people who ended up standing in the line at the usual firearms check area to check a firearm. I was asked by someone if I knew where the check was, and answered yes based on previous years. When I got to the usual place however, I was asked if checking a firearm and directed to the other location. I saw a few others afterwards who were not so lucky, and waited through the whole line, only to be sent back to the new check area. They looked understandably annoyed. It did look like there was a sign posted about the firearms check roughly half way through the line, but I did not get a good look at it due to the heavy crowd surrounding it anyway.
4) The capitol police seemed friendly and cooperative.
5) The capitol police did not point a 1911 at me this year, while handling someones checked firearm......
All in all, a productive day I think.
On a side note, I apparently missed the firearm raffle completely. The mic volume was so low, I was not even aware the rally was over until everyone started to disperse."The Intelligence Of The People Is The Security Of The Nation" We're doomed!
