Okay Folks. What is it January 19th or February 8th. Thinking I can maybe put a bus load together if this gets sorted out, but I need to know now.

There are events both days and I am sure both will be great. I have spoken with several groups partnering on feb 8th and there are also some great things planned jan 19th so I think it comes down to what day works for you best. I know my family will be at both events and am excited for that. Hopefully you can go to both as well as that just rises more awareness and exposure but if you can't make it to both choose which one you can go to and represent this great cause!

More info such as fliers and what not is coming soon for the feb 8th event but all i know as of now is it starts at 10am and everyone is gathering on the south steps of the capital.

BTW...how quickly does the 'carry at the capitol' notification take....if I get that off tomorrow.

Andrew Rothman has mentioned that 'notification' is all that is necessary....'confirmation of notification' is not required.

On the off chance they didn't "receive" your notification - the "confirmation" is your proof should you ever be stopped while inside a building in the Capitol Complex.

I'll be there regardless, but have a small bus lined up for the trip if I can recruit enough people to fill it.

Reason I am posting is, has anyone confirmed there has been a permit applied for and granted for this rally. I am about to start working on this right now, just wanted to make sure it hasn't been done already.

I was talking to a guy at the 2A coffee shop meeting on Saturday, who everyone else had pointed to as the guy who was organizing [sic] this thing.

He said that he'd been in contact with the Capitol Police, and that the required notice for the size of crowd he was expecting was four days, and he'd be delivering the application on Monday. (Or, perhaps, it was that they told him that he'd only need four days notice, for a group of 80-100, so that's how many people he's going to tell them he expects to show up. My feel was that he had no idea how many people would show up.)

Is this rally going to be in the building, so I would have to notify that I would be carrying. Or outside the building? Would I still have to notify if I am carrying just on the grounds,or is it in the buildings only?

If you're carrying in the Capitol area, you need to notify. The area includes the Capitol building, the near by office buildings, the parking lots, and the Mall.

[gunforhire]

if you plan on going, get your notification in the mail no later than monday, just in case. and make sure to follow up by friday a.m. via email

[adoptedson]

So is this rally going to be inside or out? It is my understanding that notification is only required if you intend to carry inside of the buildings within the given area. keyword = inside. I thought that it was still perfectly legal to carry on the grounds. Am I wrong? Please correct me if I am. Still unsure if I'm going to be able to make it, but I guess I better have my ducks in a row if I can go and choose to carry.

Thanks XD ED. So it is ok to carry on the grounds without notification. You just can't carry in any state building within the defined boundaries without notification. I am interpreting that correctly, right?

You're interpreting it the same as I do.
