Absolutely my goof on the photo credit—I was distracted and sidetracked dealing with the “Bored Smart Girl” nonsense.
Gary and his crew did a fantastic job yesterday.

Here is the little bit of march video I got yesterday. I was honestly expecting more people for the rally and really wanted to claim my dirt for the speeches. Hindshight is always 50/50 and I could have stayed down at the dock a bit longer. Sorry... So enjoy what little is here...

Hopefully P5 doesnt see this. With my sexy legs and biceps bigger than a mannequin he might be jealous

Just because you CAN lay a turd in others punchbowls, doesn't mean you HAVE to.
I'm going to say one thing and one thing only about schipperke:
Yesterday, he showed up in person at a pro 2A event, which is more than what a lot of folks did for the cause.
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:

And it helps when you have every person possible pulling an oar.
Anne Arundel County Sheriff Bateman spoke and was prominently mentioned in the Baltimore Sun article, for good measure.
That’s Sheriff Bateman, left, with Gary Sigler, right, leader of My Brother’s Threepers—the group that secured the rally permit and worked like hell on short notice to make it happen.

Boy time sure has changed, he used to say only military and police should have guns and that he would confiscate. I believe he was one of only a few sheriffs to testify in favor sb281?
I tried reading through the stupid in those comments..Had to give up 10 comments in, my brain was starting to hurt.
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.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that remembers him as not being friendly to us.

I had a semi-private (others were present) conversation with Anne Arundel County Sheriff Bateman a couple days ago. He volunteered that he supports the 2nd Amendment but that he also supports an assault weapons ban. He said, "I don't think people should be allowed to run around with AK-47s."
After I confronted him on his political double-speak, he ended the conversation with, "We will just have to agree to disagree."

Question to those who think that wearing a suit and tie to these events would be more appropriate, what did you wear yesterday? And if you didn't wear a suit and tie
are you going to at the next one?
Not busting anyone's balls, just curious.
