    And, oh yes, The Patriot Picket Navy had two boats in the water on Saturday in Annapolis!

    First up, MrEd’s boat with us crowded on board with our flags and banners, and then there’s this…

    We were so grateful to have turnout from dedicated folks who though nothing of driving in from western MD, or the couple I met who came in from Salisbury to make their voices heard!

    In the first pic of this set, WJZ-TV, responding to our Press Release, is set up to wait the Rally’s start.

    Not to be vain, I think that post you reply to was directed at me. Ironically, it shows the press control the narrative and comments validate these type of rallies don't change public opinion and may actually sway some away from a 2A rights side because of optics as others in threads yet to be persecuted have also speculated. Glad I didn't suggest reading those comments, could of been Quisling'd. I was eating at Mission when a March went by. I'll reserve the reactions I noted.

    If I can attend a 2A rally that doesn't happen to be an exclusive PP production, I'll go. I'm just not in to being choreographed what to do, say, what to hold, get in this shot, out of that one etc. This is not a slight on any PP member that enjoys that. I also do not (shocker) feel welcome anyway which is not an exclusive condition I'm finding. I researched this rally and found it wasn't a PP production, so if I came and left wouldn't be persecuted by only a couple dozen attendees. I stayed for all the speakers and enjoyed it. To me, it's an opportunity to hang with like minded on firearm rights. I spoke with a few, that don't demand being in lockstep on 100% of their ideas and vice versa, and all is good. I did speak to some lamenting the Gov didn't care, and to pretend that is some untouchable secret is comical. I had a good talk with someone I've seen testify very well. When we concluded, I point to a large group on some steps getting a photo op. The group was all in BDU's etc. I mentioned appearances like that do not change minds. Not sure if he agreed, but I don't believe he took it as a surrender monkey comment, just an opinion. If people believe that kind of dress enhances changing gun shy people, then I'm definitely from another planet. It may fire up the those already sold, but changes minds?

    My opinion (if allowed?) the Gov could give two sh*ts if guys tacticooled up are yelling about the Constitution, and I'm gonna bet he loses no sleep over the Baltimore Sun, where I can't even find a question. What never comes up are the two cases where these types of laws were upheld. Where is that "discussion", and what were the merits they failed on. If Hogan Vetoes or signs, he's already made that decision, by polling. Those Republicans that changed their votes are duplicitous politicians for the most part. "Sorry Larry, my constituents were really hounding me, but ya we're fine if you sign it". Some other mantra as if any discourse between 2A opinions emboldens the lurking antis or is demoralizing, I'm mean the tin foil keeps getting added layer by layer. Gun rights in our state require court rooms and am excited of the new carry suit. I wasn't an optimist on DC, but see no reason lightning can't strike again. If Hogan lets Red Flag law through, I'm sure there's a group that will file and get a stay, if their plate isn't full.


    Help me out here Schipperke....I certainly don't intend to offend anyone, and certainly not by name....But what are you talking about? I would apologize but I would not know what for.

    Help me follow your logic and train of thought that went from Norton posting links to Baltimore Sun and Capital Gazette.
    Time to do your follow up by wallowing with the pigs in the comments sections.

    Remember, if you aren't in there swinging, you are basically ceding that aspect of the fight:

    http://www.capitalgazette.com/news/annapolis/bs-md-gun-rights-rally-20180414-story.html

    http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/politics/bs-md-gun-rights-rally-20180414-story.html

    To me following said links to read articles and comments....
    With me replying that the comments make my head hurt...Maybe I should have been more concise and said stupid leftest comments ("Guns are bad, um,kay")
    I tried reading through the stupid in those comments..Had to give up 10 comments in, my brain was starting to hurt.

    To you thinking I was directing my reply to Norton at you. Help me out, set the record straight.

    I wear what I wear to work. I thought it was funny during the downtown DC event, one of the antis came up and asked what one of the co-patriots did for a living. He said he was an IT professional up the street making a significant amount of money. The guy looked shocked that a professional would be pro 2A.

    I should add, that when we are inside the house and senate building, professional attire should be the norm. If I was going to the MAGA rally in DC, I wore my bike shorts. Because, that was what I was wearing to get there.

    Wonder what kind of event this guy is headed to.

    That last Rally shot above was taken by Occam as we got started.

    The last couple here are of Republican candidate for US Senate Tony Campbell, who wants to get Ben Cardin retired.

    Here are more from Occam’s pro-level portfolio:

    Once again, Stoveman and the lovely Mrs Stove, along with new member Cgalladora, who generously donated the FOUR cases of bottled water that we distributed to folks at the Rally. Thank you, sir, and welcome to the fight!

    Welcome, cgalladora! Great meeting you the other day. Glad that you came down to join us. Do make it a point to check in on the forum, not just facebook.

    Thank you DK99 for being part of the Patriot Wave that rolled in like the tide at 2pm.

    Actually we had a pre-rally crew, among them Buellsfurn, Jimboy, Frogman68 and his wife, who met us at 10:45am Lawyer's Mall to unload signs, banners and flags, so thanks so much for that!

    While most of us were on the March Down Main Street that started at 11:30am, Deep Lurker, swinokur lead a more-than-2-hour Patriot Picket with help from new MDS member Ironeye and other committed folks.

    This is what it looked like after the March rolled out:

    Thank you for all the hard work that went into putting this together. I enjoyed meeting everyone. See you again soon, I hope.

    I wanted to mention that I talked to 4 college-aged men and 1 woman who came over to say hello. They were part of the "college republicans" group. I commented to them that I was wondering where the "young republicans" (as I call them) were at. I told them they give me some hope for the future.
