Why open carry will become ho-hum in PA within a couple of years
Notice how ho hum open carry has become in Virginia since 2004. In a couple of years, the Dickson Dozen incident will be remembered as the beginning of the end for controversey over open carry in PA.

1. Video of Champps dinner in honor of Senator Richard "Banjo" Saslaw
now online!
*******************************************
As you might recall, Fairfax County Senator Saslaw told the Virginia
Senate that anyone who dared to open carry in a NoVA restaurant that
is licensed to serve alcoholic beverages would be asked to leave.
We knew that was baloney and had an AP reporter document a series of
luncheons and a dinner in NoVA, with VCDL members carrying openly as
required by law.
The video of the VCDL "Saslaw" dinner at Champps restaurant in
northern Virginia is now on the VCDL web site! Thanks to VCDL member
Matt Gottshalk for producing and editing the video - a professional
job as usual.
In the video you'll see the general manager of Champps speaking
first, followed by me, followed by Delegate Dick Black. Delegate
Black spoke on behalf of Senator Ken Cuccinelli, who had a prior
speaking engagement that evening.
You will also see Board member Bruce Jackson explaining briefly to
other guests in the restaurant why we were there that night, followed
by all the VCDL members raising their hands to indicate that they were
lawfully armed.

Re: Why open carry will become hom hum in PA within a couple of years
Hi all,
I'm Matt and did that video for VCDL. I was born and raised in the great state of PA. VCDL is a great organization and they are PROOF that a small group of dedicated activists can make a big difference in the state legislature.
Don't let Rendell and the other gun grabbers get away with taking away your 2nd amendment rights in the Keystone state!
Semper Fi.
