PITTSBURGH OPEN CARRY RALLY: Open carry rally planned in response to Pittsburgh’s proposed gun control legislation | WPX

This may be of interest here

I hope very few show up in camo with ARs hanging across their necks. Many of these demonstrations end up making gun owners look bad and do gun owners more harm than good.

just have to hope in one hand and poo in the other and see which one fills up first.

You must be a deep thinker, pcr2

BTW, I have nothing against didplays like this in theory.
It's just that they often bring out the worst of the in-your-face type of 2nd amend supporters and show gun owners to be trigger happy red necks looking for somebody to give them an excuse to start shooting.
These types are far from the majority of gun owners, but they are what is noticed the genereral public who don't own guns themselves when these demonstrations happen.

too much coffee inside and mud outside--sorry.

Jan. 4? How did it go?

X2

wonder if Finn is coming to support gun rights and campaign for 2020.

The rally is today.

honestly though,believe being in a large city would be better than out here in the sticks.now back to housework.

The left in Pittsburg has geared up and is prepared to make gun owners look bad.

From a lawyer friend who does nothing but 2A and PA Article 1 Section 21 cases:

To everyone attending the Second Amendment Rally tomorrow in Pittsburgh, I have very good information that the media has already prepared draft articles about the Rally, which denigrate gun owners and attempt to distract from the real issue - the City of Pittsburgh's unlawful conduct in proposing these three anti-gun proposals. Worse yet, individuals are being brought in to the Rally for the sole purpose of trying to provoke gun owners to react in an irresponsible manner and both the media and police are already investigating social media posts of gun owners, in which those posters are already allegedly provoking the police and making threats.

As such, I have serious concerns about the Rally tomorrow. I pray to God that all of you will be safe and will remain cool, calm and collected, regardless of any provocateurs. Remember, the media and the City are out to paint all gun owners as irresponsible and a single, isolated mistake by any attendee could jeopardize our state preemption statute.

P.S. If you intend to carry a rifle or shotgun, you MUST have a license to carry firearms, as we are currently under a state of emergency, due to Governor Wolf's opioid proclamation. If you carry a rifle or shotgun, absent a license to carry, you are looking a misdemeanor of the first degree offense, which will prohibit you for LIFE from being able to purchase, possess and utilize firearms and ammunition.

it's just like Buffalo NY,some of the best medical facilities in the world if you don't get killed comin or goin.

Isnt that the Truth!

Keep us posted on how every acts and turn out.

Think that was my Daughter on tv, on the majority side of the street.
May be a proud Dad moment here.

Not much coverage on noon news, (not surprised). I do not get cable.
Said there is a couple hundred against and a lot more for 2nd.

The media will end up twisting it one way or another in the anti-gun favor.

2 of 3 already are Grandpa. KDKA seemed the most realistic, at first anyway.

As far as people dressing up, they looked like normal working folkks to me.
Perhaps we should stop having Mt Man events, or ahem trapper conventions lol.
Not everyone lives in a suit.

The girl speaking would be more effective if she didn't use name calling and cursing to try to make her point. It may be cheered by some who are already on her side but we should leave those tactics up to the far left.
Overall, sounds like there is not much opposition to the group "representing" gun owners.

Good for them, glad to see the people affected by stupid elected officials stand for their rights. Sure, they may hurt some panty-waisted fence sitters, but they have the nads to stand up for their constitutional rights!
