sounds like a great turn out. I ended up being later than expected, but when i showed up just before 2 there were still a few people there. I talked to a few of them and showed my support. I also got my return letter letting me know that my notification was in, so I used the restroom just because I could.

Wow. The video was provocative. But not in a good way.

Unfortunately, I too arrived late - :doh: - Saw folks leaving as I was trying to navigate the cobweb like streets and find a place to park... After about half an hour, and feeling the need to use a restroom, I decided to turn back. I gotta get a letter in, and learn the area so next time I'm prepared... And not an absolute failure. :oops:

Glad all went well though. So, far it sounds like even the news is portraying it in a decent light.

Good job guys!

Someone had a great sign I wants able to get a picture of... It had a picture of an AR and read, "It's because I'm Black isn't it?"

It was in the video. Tman has a point about the video...and the dude with the "impeach Obama" sign must have gotten confused what the rally was about.

Must not have got the memo. ;)

Good thing Heffay didn't see the guy with a t-shirt and a glock on his hip. That was classic at those temps! :freezin:

OMG the guy with the sign upside down, I'm two guys in front of that guy, too bad my transitions lenses decided black was all the rage in eyewear at the time!

The purpose of a firearm in a defensive situation is to make the other guy leak from holes he was not born with. Your job is to install those orifices for him.
