Maybe she could do a live broadcast from the picnic ?

Someone should definitely inform McKenna about this. I'm sure she wouldn't miss it for the world.Vickki McKenna is also very, very, very pro-carry and pro-gun.
I think she might be interested in promoting the event as well. She has talk-shows in both Madison and Milwaukee.

(edit) Oh darn... I just thought of something. And sure enough... crap.
One other note. Milwauke County's water park Cool Waters has it's opening daythat weekend. If it's warm, the parking overflows out onto the grass in the area with the ball-field logo. The Park ropesit off as an overflow lot.And the whole area inside the park can be like a minor traffic jam.

FYI
Last think I want to think about right now is food...I'll end up buying it early and eating it.What is everyone bringing ? Food> could everyone list what they are bringing , Just so we don't all show up with 2 packages of hot dogs and no buns.
( Hot dogs, hamburgers, brats, katchup, mustard, pickles, chips, dips, Buns, cole slaw, chopped onions, etc ) since this is pot luck..
I will bring 6 packages of really good hot dogs & chopped onions...
Definitely.It might be nice to see if we can get a lot of press coverage.
I am in, coming from Green Bay... :celebrate, I also sent the picnic info to Jerry Bader at WTAQ 1360 am Morning talk radio in the Green Bay area, he gave the picnic a plug on the air. expect more people to show up.
Just had a thought ( scary ) does anyone know a Lawyer that would open carry with us ??
It's almost allways too cool for swimming that weekend in WI, (My b-day's the 27th, and my wedding anniv. is too,so I have a long memory of these weekends) so I think the odds are in our favor. Probably worse odds that it'll be cold or nasty that weekend instead. (fingers crossed)Someone should definitely inform McKenna about this. I'm sure she wouldn't miss it for the world.
I'm assuming you mean the overflow lot is SW of the Cool Waters complex, near the baseball field. Makes sense. Parking may be a cause for a bit of concern, but I don't think it's enough to warrant a change of plans. Even in that overflow lot, we'll still be 1000+ feet from the nearest school. Suppose the only problem will be a possibility of people freaking out seeing us unpack/load/holster our firearms after we get out of our cars, which I really don't care about.

And I just realized your reasoning for picking area 4, the others are all much closer to Nathan Hale H.S. Durrr... the logistics of this are new to me.
And right next to Nathan Hale H.S. in the very corner of the picture,that little building with the tiny red arrow pointing south in it's driveway is the WAPD... :lol:On the note of choosing Area 4, here's a few maps I made of where 1000 feet extends from the picnic area. In the Satellite picture, Nathan Hale HS is in the bottom right-hand corner.
Yep!And right next to Nathan Hale H.S. in the very corner of the picture,that little building with the tiny red arrow pointing south in it's driveway is the WAPD... :lol:
I doubt we have to worry about confiscation, if the cops do show up, I think they will mind their P's& Q's , specially if we have a lawyer present & or the media, we won't be doing anything illegal , just eating food, hanging out, listening to musicand talking politics..oh yeah, I will bring a boom box, gotta have tunes...I should be able to make that event depending on vacation plans for around that time. As the date gets closer and I know my plans 100% i'll let you know, but I would love to make it and carry to show full support. Also if I am able to make it i'm a little unclear on the decision about bringing family unless meaning kids more specifically. Because i'd like to bring a couple or few family and friends who are very pro-guns but i just don't know that they'd be comfortable carrying for fear of confinscation, at least at this point in time.
Friends and family are just fine. As for others' hesitance, don't worry about it. To be honest, I doubt my Girlfriend will want to carry a firearm, so she'll be carrying a camera instead.I should be able to make that event depending on vacation plans for around that time.

Awesome.If this event nears 100 people or more, let me know andwe would be willingbring down the big equipment. If you want to roast a few hogs, we can do that.
Our catering schedule is open for that date, and I will keep it open for this event if needed.
Send me a PM or ask parabellum for my number.
Thanks,
