***PITTSBURGH RIFLE OPEN CARRY*** UPDATED INFO IN OP***

[BIGPOPPA]

Thank You to everyone that can attend today. My prayers are with everyone to maintain civility and patience among those who only wish to rile, cause a scene and further restrict our God given rights.

There are 358 spaces available at the 1st Avenue garage as of 8:17 AM.

The nearest public restrooms are at Jimmy John's, 2 blocks north on Grant Street, and at the William Penn Hotel, 3 blocks north on Grant Street. The William Penn bathrooms are on the north side of the building (keep right when you go in, it's down a few steps to the main lobby, then a hard right and down a few more steps.

I know the city really well. Please take my number, 412-370-9772. If you need driving directions, parking info, or any other advice about the city, PLEASE don't hesitate to call! My flight leaves at 12:05, so I'll be available all morning.

Godspeed Pa patriots!

Be safe, be calm, and don't take any bait from the libtards.

If I had found out about this earlier than the weekend, I would have come over from the eastern side to participate. I am praying for your success and safety.

Hahahaha From the Post-Gazette:

At least one Downtown entity has taken action pre-emptively, however: Pittsburgh Creative and Performing Arts 6-12, a public secondary school in Downtown, will be on modified lockdown status Monday because of the rally, according to an email sent to parents of its students late Friday.

Students will not be allowed to leave the building without prior permission from their parent or guardian, according to the email. Any visitors to the school will need an appointment, and extra school police and city police will be posted outside and inside the school.

“The protest is expected to last for a few hours and may delay school and Port Authority buses traveling through Downtown," the email warned.

CAPA is across downtown on Ft. Duquesne Blvd. What a bunch of snowflakes. Hide the children!!

There were some worried about how the media will make us gun owners look while at the rally. We'll, here's the bias regardless, even before the rally. With you all in spirit and thank you all.

Hundreds of protesters, many armed, expected to rally in Downtown Pittsburgh

This is from the incline. They continue to impress me with simply reporting both sides.


It sounds like around Pittsburgh town leaders aren't interested in playing.

The First Avenue garage is down to 99 spaces. I'd leave extra time for parking, since First Ave is going to fill up at some point.

I'd go for the One Oxford Centre garage, the entrances are on 3rd Ave and Cherry Way. It's connected to the back of the silver skyscraper cattycorner across from the City County Building on Grant St.

I heard Casey on the radio this morning saying they have over 30 other municipalities on board (and more joining) to attempt to pass anti semi auto laws. They are coming at us hard.
