Open Carry Rally at The Alamo the 19th

[Hoji]

From watching the group, it seems like he has backed off from wearing that at meets because it puts the group in a bad light even to people on their side.

Ya think?

I support them.
IMO the Alamo is a fantastic place to hold a 2nd Amendment event.

Bet you a case of 22lr the Anti Mom demonstration down the street gets a lot more positive exposure on Media.

I do hope the rally goes well.

I guess I would think if they immigrated here and became a citizen they are now an American. I don't care for hyphenated national descriptors. If I moved to Germany I would still be an American. If I became a citizen of that nation I would then be a German, not an American. Kinda simple.

Hear! Hear!

 

[Sapper740]

Dang! Just heard about this event now, else I would have attended.

I'll take this over a guy in an American flag tight suit anyday! Very nicely done.

Should have taken that bet. All the news that I am seeing is about the Alamo rally. Just about all positive.

Fewer than 20 people at the anti-gun rally. Ya gotta love it.

I bet it'll get equal time on the news though.

Glad it seems to have gone well.

Well, looks like tights guy made it but at least he wasn't at the center of attention this time. I wish I could have made this meet. It looks like it was a good one.

It was excellent- one of the best times I've had in a long time. I can't believe some people chose to watch football instead of be there; they really missed out on a very rare opportunity.

I was at Top Brass over off of IH-10 a little while ago and there was a young guy in there openly carrying a Polish Tantal (5.45 Kalashnikov for those who aren't familiar with them). It didn't have a magazine in it and no one really seemed to care...

Haha ... well played. When your plans revolve around what's on TV instead of life .............

Watching grown men play a child's ball game > defending rights.

It was a great time. Even if I was a hard-core football fan it would have been WELL worth it. I now have my very own picture of me holding a PTR-91 in front of the Alamo! Plenty of other hilariously out-pf-place pics as well. Some of the looks I got walking down the sidewalk were PRICELESS!

 

[Glockster69]

I never even considered driving over for the event but now you're making it sound pretty good. Are we going to get to see any pictures?

I love this. I hate sports. I mean, if you said, hey, let's go play basketball or arrange a softball game I'd be all for it. But to sit in front of the TV hours a week, getting emotionally involved with a bunch of egomaniacs moving a ball around?

Now, UFC, I can watch. It's what football players would do if you took their ball away.

Anyways, regarding these open carry events, I don't know what to make of them. I'm not against them and there is something to be said about us exercising our rights more publicly so it does indeed appear normal and not fringe.
