I am bringing a seven year old and a four year old, based on the likely weather, I will be heading out after the first hour. Unless the kids are completely out of hand, I will be at Cabela's for a bit and I would be surprised if other folks are not going to last the whole two hours.

I want to stay for the whole thing, but the kids come first, if they are looking done, so am I. I would gladly donate a few bucks for the cost of the propane, if you did bring one.

Great but I'd encourage you to change the start time of meeting at Cabelas to a time after the rally so as to be fair to the event organizers.

I'll be there with my 3 year old, Josie. Might get her a little cap gun riffle to put on her shoulder to :D

I would gladly join you for lunch (and some ammo).

While the canteen seems to be fully supplied, good luck on that second one. (We were just there and couldn't find nothin' in the calibers we needed. They're flat out of .22LR, for instance.)

Rough/final draft of my poster

Preview of the only poster that will be shown on the 6 o clock news

Choose something RBKA related. You did a good job today dressing normally and not spouting conspiracy theories, i have no problem listening to conspiracy theories at private events and such, in public you should keep your presentation on topic. I understand you can come to a public area with whatever poster you want, but I think the gun community would greatly appreciate something related to... Gun rights

It's not a theory, it's in the library of congress. Congresscritters wanted a way to deceive the American public in such a way that they believed that it was not voluntary while writing the law so as to maintain it's voluntary nature so the judges could rule it as being constitutional this time.

EDIT

As for it being shown on the 6 o clock news, that would be great.

‎2nd Amendment Rally April 30th 2011 at the capital in Olympia

This is accurate info.I see some that i have to chuckle at as they think whats important here is what long guns to carry, or how many.Long guns will be carried slung over the back,muzzle down ,no mag and bolt open.we are attempting to make a positive image of gun owners so fellas leave the camos at home it make us look like clowns.I have the support of Dave workman and the SAF and there will be some prominent speakers there.I saw the anti gun rally on the news and you can bet the media will be there at ours.So think carefully about the image we want to portray.

If anyone has a handheld flagpole I could use for the 19th, that would be awesome. PM me. I can leave collateral with you, or throw you a few bucks for your trouble. Also, still looking for transportation for two people from Bellveue. We can drive alone if need be, but would prefer to carpool.

Having tried it in the privacy of our own living room--how the @#$% do you carry "muzzle down"? They don't hang that way, the bolt closes up (gravity being that pesky nuisance that it is), the muzzle bumps my ankle with each step (okay, I'm short, I admit it), and every step the sling slips just that little bit until the damned thing is horizontal in no time (big no-no there). Their center of gravity (tried with several long arms) is around the triggerguard. My magazines don't come off without a gunsmith to help, either. (Or a cutting torch, but that's just being silly.)

Is this a ploy to ask the impossible (and thereby cut down the number of long arms) or just a narrow focus on ONE type of rifle? (I get the feeling plastic stocks significantly alter the center of gravity, though I can't speak with authority as I don't own one.)

I have carried combat and hunting rifles barrel down without issue. Part of it is the sling(s) I use. The other part is the fact I carry diagonally.

Anyone have a desire to meet up at 11am at a Starbuck's or some such? If the kids are doing okay I am considering stopping at the Cabella's on the way back to grab lunch, would love to meet some more of the folks that will be heading north after the event.

Ill be hanging out at the park by the downtown oly starbucks prior to the rally, probably the closest one to the capitol
