2010 Harrisburg Rally Coordination Thread (Lehigh Valley & Philadelphia Region)

[Dannytheman]

I'm leaving the area around the Granite run mall.

I understand that the best thing to do is meet at the turnpike entrance on rt100 at 7:30 or before.

Also it's not recommended to be armed.
You will not be admitted inside the capital for the rally if your carrying even with a concealed carry permit.
Gerry

But they will supply a locker for you to secure it in.

I don't leave home with out it.

[P7hk9]

I'll be heading out from the Harleysville area. I can carry 5 more comfortably, if anyone from the area is interested.

Part true - no firearms in capital because of court rooms in complex
part not true - they have area to check and secure your firearm, so IF you have a LTCF permit it will be honored.

Read about the details here about securing handguns, note there is ONLY one entrance that you can check the firearms (the one at the rear by the fountain)

Last year's rally of 2009 shows Pa. Representative Daryl Metcalfe speaking
while Kim Stolfer of Firearms Owners Against Crime stands to the right.
Both individuals work long and hard to protect your Second Amendment Rights.



The guest speakers will start around 10:00 am. There will be registration lines and several other helpful organizations present, so the earlier you arrive, the easier it will become. After the rally there will be groups visiting our Representatives and Senators to communicate our views. Everybody is invited to join one of these groups. PLEASE HELP PROTECT YOUR SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS BY ATTENDING THIS RALLY. You will be sending a message to the elected officials.


The Eastern Pennsylvania Firearms Coalition has found an Allentown business which will allow the use of its parking for car pooling. Anybody in the Allentown area that wants to car pool to split the costs of travel with other gun owners, please email the webmaster for location and other details.

To email the Webmaster webmaster@levfc.org

Participants of each auto will have to decide who drives, payment of gas and parking, etc. We highly recommend everybody carry a cell phone so communications at the event between the car pool participants is easy.

The EPAFC is seeking assistance in all seven counties. We want to coordinate a car pool location for gun owners to meet and share rides. Click on the Assistance Needed navigation bar.

A Request for Assistance

Car Pools for Rallies

One of the problems many gun owners have is the cost of attending Political Rallies. Rallies are an important part of the fight because:

Rallies attract print and TV media. They help us get our word out directly to the reporters, without going through the spin cycles of third parties.

Rallies support pro Second Amendment legislators and keep our relationships with them solid.

Rallies with large turnouts can change the votes of fence sitters in both Pennsylvania houses.

Rallies are also a meeting point for pro gun organizations and help keep us up to date with actions in other parts of the state/country by direct communications with other members from distant places.

A large turn out of gun owners is of the utmost importance. However due to the high cost of gasoline and distances involved, many gun owners cannot afford to attend. A very effective way to solve this problem is to have a pre planned location for car pooling of gun owners. We are looking for several locations in each of the 4 counties the coalition serves.

If you are located in any of the counties we represent and you own a business, or manage a business, which can provide parking facilities to accommodate other gun owners for car pooling, please contact the coalition webmaster. We will not publish your location, but will provide it in emails to anybody contacting us for car pooling assistance.

After you contact us the coalition will keep your information on file until needed for the next rally. Your assistance will be another step to help us maintain our Rights to Keep and Bear Arms.

The Eastern Pennsylvania Firearms Coalition thanks anybody who can provide this service.

You will often here people say “they will have to take my guns from my cold dead fingers”

Is this just something that sounds cool or do you Really mean it?

Right now in PA the anti-gunners are activity try to slowly pry your warm fingers off of your firearms rights with more restrictive gun control laws. Are you going to just sit silently by while this occurs, when you could help stop it?

How about giving 8 hours a year to protect your firearm rights?

Lots of people are trying to make this as easy as possible to attend this event.....so Please consider coming to this rally and interactive legislative lobbying event and doing your part to preserve our firearm heritage as free Americans only can.
