Re: *****Harrisburg Rally, 5/6/19*****
Yeah, I hope I wasn't interpreted as saying that people showing up just to add to our numbers aren't important. I was just trying to explain why the importance of being inside as well.
Ultimately, there's 2 groups of people that we need to get on our side: the politicians, and the people who vote for them.

Re: *****Harrisburg Rally, 5/6/19*****
A few years ago I quit coming to this forum for this very reason. I was neg repped and publicly berated for my thoughts on open carrying and I remember exactly who it was too. And the moderators then supported their behavior. Good to see things changed around here and Pittsburgh was a prime example of how their claims were wrong.

Re: *****Harrisburg Rally, 5/6/19*****
There were multiple reasons for doing it indoors over the past 2(?) years. Most important was the small crowd. Three years ago we had as few as maybe 125 people total, in the rain, outside. It looked worse than having no rally at all and we couldn't hear squat then either.
Another reason is that all other groups hold their rallies inside. Lawmakers know the size of the group based on how they fill out the rotunda and staircase.
Another reason is to get people to walk around and visit their lawkers rather than hang outside for an hour and a half, then just leave.
I was very vocal last year about the need to come inside rather than stay outside. As it turned out, many could not get in so everyone outside just looked like overflow regardless of the reason they were outside. In any case, the fact that we filled the rotunda to capacity was a good thing.
My point was then and is now that this rally has a very specific legislative purpose. If we had only 125 people inside and another 50 outside the only ones seen by lawmakers would have been the 125 inside. We should hear within the next week or two, whether it will be in or out.Help us restore election integrity in PA. Join PA Voters United

There was still plenty of room in the rotunda. Just had to go up.

How about we stop whining , pack the inside AND outside, ask for a speaker to be set up for the outside attendees to hear, and barrage the reps inside afterwards. We couldn't fit everyone inside last year, no reason we can't beat that number this year, especially after Wolf got reelected.

Re: *****Harrisburg Rally, 5/6/19*****
Yes. Inside and outside. Fill the steps down to the street. Not hundreds, thousands. Getting the word out now as many are doing is a good start. I think the bills are going to be so atrocious that motivating more than the usual number of firearms owners should not be as difficult.
