Annual Harrisburg Rally - June 8, 2020

[pens87pgh]

Pardon me not reading the fifty pages, but is there a poofa meet up for this?

I'm pretty sure there will be a table setup somewhere, at least I seem to remember reading that somewhere in this long thread

Next question, is this a rally like VA where plate carriers and open carry is the status quo?

Mr. Gixxer is bringing the mother of all woks and cooking up biscuits and gravy on the patio of our domed building.

Should I be looking for a "Yinz can't take it" flag too?
It's been a few years since I have been in Harrisburg. I vaguely remember staying at a hotel possibly on Paxton street before going to the state museum across from the capital building(s).

In the most recent years, most of the people were indoors in the Rotunda. After the main event, people would break up into groups to see legislators. There were a few people outside OCing, but a larger portion were inside.

This year sounds like it's going to be different, with everyone outside.

That depends on who you ask. Those guys who take our money and claim to be fighting for our rights think we should go unarmed as it makes us look bad. I think you should wear whatever you feel comfortable in as long as it's legal. After all...it is our right.

I would expect multiple yinzer flags and old fat guys hanging around together.

Bring, wear whatever you want and can legally do so.

Personally; I plan to wear my normal everyday clothes along with my everyday open carry handgun with everyday extra mags.
The extra stuff will probably be an AK slung on my back and extra AK mags on my belt. And holding a Navy Jack or Gadsden flag.

You and me will be the only ones who can't open carry!! :-( :-(

My suggestion, if you have the time is to go through this thread. This question has been asked several times, and the general guidance is to do what you're comfortable with. Seeing as we'll be forced to stay outside and don't have to worry about checking pistols to go inside, it sounds like more people are going armed anywhere from having a sidearm to full "battle rattle" (tac vest + AR + other stuff). My suggestion is just to be there and show the support, regardless of what you decide to carry.

Edit: Personally, that will probably come down to the weather; having too much on if it's 90 degrees and high humidity wouldn't be very pleasant.

Coincidentally, that's exactly what I've ordered at every pre-Rally Cracker Barrel breakfast! Sausage biscuits and gravy! (side a side of bacon of course)

[RockIsland]

BOTH!


Also, did we ever get confirmation on if the firearms check will be operating? I could see it being closed for the day.

I'd like to go inside for our usual lobbying visits, but I do not want to take my firearm to my car in Harrisburg, or anywhere. I'll still carry, but that'll determine if I need to talk to them by email or in person.

Didnt Dear Leader ban more than xx# of people from gathering in the rotunda with another one of his royal edicts?
