Details at 
It is advisable that a video and pics be taken from high enough up to accurately depict the size of the turnout and post on the internet and social media (including local news sites) instead of letting MSM set the impression.
We had a few idiots with long-guns on single-point slings and AOWs on front slings held at the ready, along with one genius who had a long gun held in low-ready while wearing a gas mask invade the house chambers.
The result? predictable. The legislature just banned O/C in the gallery. Meanwhile the other several hundred people there got NO attention at all from the press.

Maybe I'm the only one, but it always irritates me when people do stuff like that. Those are the people who end up fitting the stereotype that is projected on us, and that hurts us instead of helping. It just gives the antis ammo to use against us, and it pushes the "undecideds" away from our cause.
What some people seem to forget (and some just don't care) is that as gun owners, we are constantly under suspicion and attack. It is important that we do NOT fit the stereotype, and instead project a better image as a community. Otherwise, its just an opportunity for the antis to promote their agenda.
My point is that people need to look at the bigger picture. While they may have a point they are trying to make by showing up brandishing weapons and wearing gas masks or whatever other crazy attire they decide to put on, it comes across very differently from the outside (and more specifically, from the other side).

The event is now well past and the discussion should shift to a new thread on what is planned next.
