*****Harrisburg Rally, 5/6/19*****

[mikelets456]

Yes, there was talk about a Constitutional Carry bill for PA coming very soon. I don't remember if it was Metcalfe or Josh Prince who told us...I think it was Daryl.


Here's what loknload was talking about:

Let's see if they publish my comment.

A few years back they had 60 something sponsors for a constitutional carry bill but sadly it never got anywhere. Well at least they're trying

Republican "leadership"? Same wusses who allowed the PA Supreme Court to usurp the authority of the PA General Assembly to do redistricting.

Yeah, voting Republican in many cases is voting for the lesser evil at best....

That group was GOA. They seemed to have all of the bases covered and Senator Baker gave us all of the right answers.

Was great chatting with you over breakfast and walking the building with you. Where the heck is Room 210 again!?!? I don't think I could find it again if I tried.

I was impressed with them, I never seen the NRA go to bat with my local reps like that, I need to suck it up and get a lifetime membership to the GOA. Yeah I actually had a good time hanging with you guys, at first I viewed this event as a chore but the time spent with fellow POOFA members made it into an enjoyable experience. The only thing that did suck was finding that Room 210 but like I said, at least we got our cardio for the day. I will have to join the next group shoot as it would be nice to spend time with POOFA members before the next protest.

It must have been another of the many rallies/protests from the day, because I did not hear of a single incident with us.


If it did happen, over in the old part of the building on the 4th floor after we visited with Adams County Rep Dan Moul, we passed by an office near the elevator where there was a (I believe) black female assistant yelling at one of "our" guys. He raised his voice and said "I own a shotgun". I'm guessing that was a Democrat Rep's office.

I do not know what they were arguing about but it sounded testy.

OF&U, LifeinPA and I heard the exchange as we passed by. I slowed down and tried to listen for a second.

I remember that, I couldn't get the jist of the argument though, I wonder if that argument had anything to do with that mention in the news?

What does he mean, "Why demonstrators had to be led out of the state house chambers"

the people who were rallying against gifts and lobbying went into the room with all the chairs and podium and were throwing fake money down.
they got arrested.
i thought we shared something in common with them, hating all the money in politics but apparently they might've been wackadoos.

those are the only "problems" i am aware of that day.

Ah, I heard about that. The news video made it sound like it had something to do with our group the way they presented it. I'm sure it was done that way on purpose.

All told, 17 demonstrators were arrested on Monday, including eight in the House chamber and nine in a separate demonstration that blocked the rear Capitol entrance, a Capitol Police spokesman said.

All were given a citation for disorderly conduct and released, except for two who were taken to a county booking center because of warrants for previous protest-related arrests, police spokesman Stephen Rudman said.

March on Harrisburg spokeswoman Emmie DiCicco said 20 were arrested and the two taken to booking were expected to face misdemeanor charges.

DiCicco said the group is targeting the House because it believes there's a better chance of getting legislation through the chamber. The Senate has a separate gift-ban bill pending in committee.

That explains why I saw several capitol police walking around with both hands full of flexi-cuffs. No surprise it wasn't us.

I don't defend the establishment leadership, but must say that at least having a majority keeps us from being another NJ.

If we had a democrat house & senate, along with Wolf, it is game over.

It does not matter the party, and so what, there is no one in PA with the balls to stop the politicians from bringing PRNJ and PRNY laws here......

Yeah, actually it does "matter the party".

The democrat party is 95% socialists who want to deny all individual rights. The republican party is probably 1/3 strong constitutionalists, 1/3 moderates and 1/3 socialists. So, if you want to take the express train to Hell, go ahead. Just don't drag me with you.

The Republican party is significantly more conservative today than it was, even a decade ago. The trend is in the right direction. Same with the PA General Assembly. We have a smaller majority than last session, but the people we have are more conservative.

Yes, party does matter. If it didn't, we'd have become NJ a long time ago.

I can say that after speaking with Dave Maloney from my district that he is strong 2A but I will keep an eye on what he does. I doubt that there are any strong 2A proponents in the Democratic party and they are chock full of 2A opponents. Ironically they tout themselves as fighting for our Constitution when it comes to their assault on Trump.

LOL dude the PA GOP is not the best, but lets be real here. If Dems had a majority right now we'de be living under the same or worse laws than NY/NJ. Have you seen some of the bills the dems have put forward the last few years?
