If all goes according to plan, gun lovers will come out in droves on January 19 to support gun stores, gun ranges, and gun shows.

The national "Gun Appreciation Day," which is being launched by a coalition of conservative and gun rights groups, will take place the day before California Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein is expected to introduce legislation for an assault weapon ban, and two days before President Barack Obama is inaugurated for his second term.

"We felt that there needed to be a swift, strong statement, Chick-fil-A style, to show that we're not only here but we're vocal," Gun Appreciation Day chairman and president of Republican new media consulting firm Political Media, Inc., Larry Ward tells Whispers.

A Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day held in August after the restaurant's president made controversial comments on gay marriage drew record sales and customers.

No one plans to buy 3 or 4 black rifles on the 19th?

10K rds ammo?

 

[Gramps]

I'll buy enough reloading supplies to load 10k on the 19th, if they are available. Or an Uzi, hrmmm decisions.

 

[cbigclarke]

There's nothing left to buy

 

[Younggun]

Well, we can all go buy a bunch of 30-30, .270, .243 and other hunting rounds that are still on the shelf. It seems like we are just coming out of a gun appreciation month to be honest.

I'm considering a state capitol run from Cypress with the AR15 on my back.

 

[Younggun]

That could be awesome.

Group run/jog/walk(I smoke to much), rifle on back. Maybe several in different areas.

Bummer. I was wondering about ya'll when the site was down. I too am about a pack a day smoker. Malrlboro reds.

Not sure i can go to Austin, but am thinking about going to the shooting range on the 19th.

Went to the range today and shot the AR-15, AK-74, WASR-10, and the K98 Mauser. Wondering if anyone else did something gun related today.

Took my 13yr old son and 10yr old daughter to the range today..... my daughter shot my glock 17 for the first time and she did great.... she normally only shoots .22s at the ranch
