Harrisburg 2A Rally 5/22/17

Biggfoot44 · May 19, 2017

This is their Big One, the PA equivalent to 2A Tursday. Ironically, for this year, is on a Monday .

10A.m. , front steps of Capitol for speaches. Group lobbying of Legistators to follow.

Firearms are welcome, and encouraged, both open and concealed. No carry inside the Capitol building, but they have a gun check room . The Capitol PD does this routinely, has it down smoothly with a smile . Handguns only, rifles, SBR, etc are welcome at the Rally on the steps, but not able to check in.

2A people will usually have an Open Carry Breakfast at Cracker Barell before hand.

Wish I had time to take off work for this but no can do

Rack&Roll · May 19, 2017

I'm in for this!

I don't intend to go inside the Capital building so I will take the opportunity to carry my rifle. And my Glock loved the Free Speech excursion to Harrisburg when President Trump held his rally there so Glock makes the trip too.

Our Patriot Picket 2A signs will Fit right in, too. If you are going you are welcome to hold one up for the media that will inevitably be there.

Let's talk about ride-sharing then.

Bump to see if anyone up near PA, or in PA is interested.

There's about 10 people so far in for breakfast at the Cracker Barrel at about 7:30, then off to the Capitol. Probably about 90% probability it will be inside the Capitol Rotunda, due to weather so you'll have to check you carry handgun (only) before you go in. Super easy to do, you can even pre-fill the form: https://www.google.com/url?q=http:/...ggUMAA&usg=AFQjCNH3idPED3zTTZHy2o9tzgGarvjSNw
and the police are well accustomed to doing this so you'll be done in a jiffy. They tear off the bottom half for you to keep, then give it to them when you leave to get your gun back.

Biggfoot44 and I will see you at the Cracker Barrel

BeoBill · May 21, 2017

Wish I could go to the dance, but I have pre-trip chores to do.

Bob A · May 22, 2017

I'd love to go, but am swamped with previous commitments.

Stoveman · May 22, 2017

What, no pics up yet?

Biggfoot44 · May 22, 2017

Hey, we're still at breakfast.

No pics of your breakfast? I thought that was a requirement when you eat at a restaurant in this day and age?

Especially with a short stack and side of Glock perfection!

Long day that started with 4:30am wake up. Weather better than expected because 24 hours ago it was 90% chance of rain. Instead just misty at times.

ShafTed was Open Carrying a CZ-82. Biggfoot44 went revolver with a Ruger stainless single action, and I was caring my Glock .45. PA bans firearms in the state Capitol buildings so all guns and knives have to be checked to "security storage".

ShafTed, Biggfoot44 and I joined a crew of about a dozen PA activists known to them for this Lobby Day

Rack&Roll · May 22, 2017

Our Patriot Picket sign was the only sign at the rally of several hundred people. It seems the PA folks are partial to 2A vests with political slogans, but not signs.

Joining me is ShafTed, Jim from PFOA, and Biggfoot44.

Rack&Roll · May 22, 2017

Just for variety I brought our Patriot Picket media bashing sign. The media all captured images of the "Self Defense" sign, but they routinely moved their cameras away when this sign went up...

EL1227 · May 22, 2017

I'm sure that PA appreciated support of their brothers from the sunderland. Hopefully they can reciprocate in the future.

Rack&Roll · May 22, 2017

The featured speaker was noted firearms data researcher Dr. John Lott.

Of course he had to wait patiently while a string of PA politicians addressed the crowd.

Rack&Roll · May 22, 2017

I asked if we could grab a picture with Dr. Lott, and he agreed, but it's clear these Dog & Pony Shows compete with his wish to be crunching numbers and writing books.

Rack&Roll · May 22, 2017

As I said, he doesn't have much use for the high profile life...

Rack&Roll · May 22, 2017

Buying one of his autographed books later earned a bonus autograph for our PP sign. He told me he always needs to be very careful about posing in front of signs because he says his work is about researching Second Amendment infringement schemes and not about the politics.
