The otherwise low key response may be in part due to no counter-protests materializing. Tim McNulty, spokesman for the mayor’s office, said Thursday that there would be a police presence in part to ensure that the protest is separate from any counter-protests going on, but did not identify any specific planned counter-protests.

Shira Goodman, executive director of the gun control group CeaseFirePA, said the group supports the proposed legislation but is not planning anything because “the people who come to our events are not so comfortable with lots of armed people.”

“An open carry rally is just a blatant intimidation tactic,” Ms. Goodman said.
