This is a great event and I'll be attending. A few ground rules:
This comes down to marketing. The more mainstream we appear, the more effective we are to our legislators and to the public who will see us on television that evening.
After the speakers have their time, we're going to go visit our representatives offices. We'll tell those who would push for more gun legislation what our thoughts are about it. And we'll visit our supporters and let them know when they stand up for us that we've got their back.

This is a great event and I'll be attending. A few ground rules:
- No cammi or blaze orange, please. I encourage business casual, but blue jeans and a nice shirt are acceptable. But no cammi, no blaze orange, and no "message T-shirts", please. Dress nicely, and our numbers will speak louder than your T-shirt ever can.
- No inflammatory signs or buttons. These do not help us appear mainstream.
- Act at all times as if you're on camera, because you will be at some point during the event whether you're aware of it or not. We do not want to embarrass ourselves when we appear on the local networks' evening newscast.
