I'm there

My car is kinda iffy right now, but I will make it there if I have a car that day.

I talked to someone at the store - They are aware of the impending protest and will be remaining open. I asked if he is having a "Jesse Jackson Discount" but there is not one:(. Either way I will swing in to buy something, maybe he has that Marlin .357 lever action I have been coveting.

I will be wearing my hat which has a gray gun and discovershooting.net

From SAS

**URGENT!** On Tuesday, August 28th, anti-second amendment extremists Rev. Jesse Jackson, Sarah Brady, DC Mayor Adrian Fenty, the Million Moms, and PG County Executive Jack Johnson are spear-heading a protest to promote more laws that will make criminals out of law-abiding citizens, ban recreational and home-defense firearms, and jeopardize personal safety!
Our constitution and liberty itself are at stake!

Please join us as we Shop and Rally at Realco Guns, Inc., 6108 Marlboro Pike, District Heights, MD 20747 - from noon to 2 PM. Realco opens at 10:00 AM.

It's an easy drive from DC or the Beltway, so please stop by over lunch and purchase merchandise from Realco and support law-abiding gun owners and gun dealers.

Realco has been the target of an unfounded smear campaign using manipulated statistics and half-truths, and Jackson and his cronies hope to plant the seeds of doubt about a law-abiding businessman and eventually force his store to close. Our community depends on the honest, hard-working people at Realco to provide useful tools to keep families safe.

Come out and help us give Realco a record day of sales! MAP

The Mayor and Town Council have approved our request for a permit, and the SAS banner will be on display. We ask that everyone wear SAS or other pro-second amendment gear, if you have it. I will have a limited number of SAS items available and Maryland Shall Issue (MSI) also plans to have some gear available. Bring your family and friends to a fun day of shopping and take the opportunity to exercise your rights guaranteed by the U.S. constitution.

The city of District Heights has prepared for the event to make our day safe and enjoyable. Our rally area is next door to Realco (Jackson's is on the opposite side) so we don't impede Realco's business in our zeal to support them. The chief of police is planning for organized parking so we can park close by. Other details will be posted here as they become available (click refresh in your browser).

Henry Heymering of MSI reminds us "Don't forget to be polite and non-confrontational. We're there to show that gun rights are supported by the most trustworthy and law-abiding people."

If you love freedom and liberty, we need you in Maryland on August 28!
 
I've never heard of Realco, but I thank Mr Jackson and the Brady's for letting me know where Realco is located. I'll see some of you there Tuesday. :evil:
 
I got it too, but this alert went into my emails spam trap. Most of the time I delete it with out even looking.
If I wasn't over seas I might go to the store in MD, no wait the 28th is on a tuesday. What the heck don't these loosers have jobs to go to? :barf:
This is the high light of what I got:
Newark: a rally at a park near the school where the recent, tragic shootings took place
Washington, D.C./District Heights, Md.: a protest at a gun store in Maryland that is responsible for the most crime guns found in D.C.
Dallas: a march down Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd. and rally at a local church
Denver: a silence vigil to protest recent shootings
Duluth, Minn.: a bell-ringing for gun violence victims at city hall
Ewing, N.J.: a kick-off BBQ for Operation Ceasefire
Houston: a "freeway blog" over a busy highway
Minneapolis: an anti-violence coalition breakfast and Protest Easy Guns lie-in
Philadelphia: Protest Easy Guns lie-in and community forum
Phoenix: a candlelight vigil at the Arizona state capitol
San Diego: community forum on illegal guns
and Protest Easy Guns Lie-Ins in Seattle, Raleigh, Philadelphia, Portland (Maine), Minneapolis, St. Paul, Richmond/San Pablo (Calif.), and Springfield


Yea I can see that one in Maine going real far. Maine is far more proGun then VA.
 
What to do about the Brady-ites

If they show up and hassle a single gun or ammo shopper, have them arrested - just like the anti-abortion protesters are arrested for talking to people on their way into Planned Parenthood clinics. :evil:
 
I can't go during the announced time, but I will be making a stop by later on to make a token purchase in honor of the protest.

I sincerely hope that the result of this action is that Realco has the biggest day of sales in recent memory.
 
Well, if I still lived in MD I would be there. Lived in Chicago, so I know about the rev Je$$ee Jack$on. My sympathies to you Marylanders because of guv. O'malley and the "gun grabbin' Brady bunch" socialists that run the state.
 
When I called Realco they said something about 10% off tomorrow for their supporters...not sure if that just ammo or everything. I'll swing by and make my purchase to show support and hopefully that hatemonger assclown JJ will still be there when I come by
 
I have a meeting from 9:00 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. tomorrow.

Unfortunately, I can't make it there to give support.


I've done business with Realco since 1979.

I'll try to get by there after work.
 
byf43,

Can you give me a rundown of what kind of stuff they stock? Not one member on mdshooters.com has ever been there and I'm a little unsure what to plan to purchase when I get over there.
 
It's a haul, but I can't think of any place I would rather be, it should be fun to show up Fenty and Sarah in their own backyard, especially if the turnout is anything like the SB43 hearing in Annapolis, 500+ gunnies standing shoulder to shoulder makes quite the statement:)

In physical size, Realco is a fairly small shop, but, he carries all sorts of rifles, pistols, revolvers, shotguns and ammo.

As I stated above, I've done business with Realco for many years.
I know the owner on a 'business level' and have shot with him and beside him at different times.

He's one heck of a nice guy. I can say without reservation that he is one of the most honest and gracious gentlemen that I've had the pleasure to meet and know in the shooting sports.

I truly regret not being able to be there, to support him, tomorrow.

For a little background of what we are up aggainst, and why. keep in mind according to these folks 498 out of 2,656 is "most", this should be good practice for 08 election time, lets give these liars who are trying to take our rights away a warm Maryland welcome


A regional task force announced last week to address gun trafficking in the District and Maryland has focused sharply on Prince George’s County, as officials claim dozens of illegal guns are traveling through the county and ending up in the hands of criminals in the District.



District Mayor Adrian Fenty said most of the recovered guns traced by District police come from Maryland and Virginia. Of the 2,656 guns recovered by District police last year, 250 were traced to Maryland and 248 to Virginia.
A Metropolitan Police Department report showed that more recovered guns came from a gun store in District Heights, a municipality in Prince George’s, than any other dealer last year. Police reported 76 firearms were traced to Realco Guns Inc. in District Heights.

‘‘We are going to work together to make sure we eliminate ... all of the guns,” said Prince George’s County Executive Jack B. Johnson. ‘‘We have to find out who’s shipping guns to these neighborhoods and go up the chain of command.”

Johnson, Fenty and Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley met in Southeast D.C. Friday morning to announce the Gun Trafficking Task Force, intended to bring together federal, Maryland and District officials to stop the flow of illegal guns across borders.

Lt. Col. Markus Summers, deputy police chief of investigative services in Prince George’s who serves on the task force, said the group has been meeting since April, but is formally launching now.

The regional task force announcement comes as law enforcement officials are already making extra efforts to crack down on gun trafficking in Prince George’s. U.S. Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein last month announced results from a new push to trap illegal gunrunners in the county. He said 15 defendants were charged over a two-day period in early July through a program called ‘‘Operation Gunrunner.”

Rosenstein told The Gazette there’s no single source for the guns in Prince George’s, but that many felons, who can’t legally possess guns, are purchasing stolen weapons off the streets in the county or using ‘‘straw purchasers,” residents who buy weapons for people who can’t legally purchase firearms themselves.

District Attorney General Linda Singer would not say how guns were being obtained from Realco Guns in District Heights, but said the statistics invited investigation.

‘‘Realco ... stands apart from all the others,” Singer said. ‘‘It’s something we’re going to be investigating.”

A representative from Realco reached by phone Friday declined to comment.

Summers said the county’s proximity to the District makes it a likely source of weapons.

‘‘That would stand to reason that they would come from the local region,” Summers said.

O’Malley said Maryland officials need to improve enforcement and prosecution of gun crimes, and praised the task force as a way to share critical information about illegal guns.

Fenty said he was also working with Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine on the issue of gun trafficking, even though Kaine did not attend Friday’s announcement and Virginia officials were not included in the task force.

The task force announced Friday is expected to link up with an already existing group that targets illegal guns in Baltimore city and Baltimore County.

Both Maryland and District of Columbia law typically carry a five-year prison sentence for illegally carrying a firearm.

Does anyone know if the VCDL is going to be assisting? They have a long history of battling the MMM, and with MSI there this should be a proud moment for us pro 2A folks, buy stuff, or don't buy stuff, it doesn't matter as much as if you show up to support our rights.

I'm going to buy something to support the shop as they come under this politically motivated attack. I can't go during the protest because it's the second week of classes and I can't miss time with my students this early in the school year.
 
in context
buy stuff, don't buy stuff it doesn't matter as much as if you show up to support our rights.

I meant that some of us folks who are broke, can still contribute to the cause, I did not mean that folks shouldn't buy from the shop, in fact I hope they make an all time sales record.

I cleared it up a little to better reflect my meaning
