    The Patriot Picket demonstrators arrayed along the Governor’s fence line on
    State Circle likewise wanted to get in on the action so they re-grouped in the cross-walk funnel:

    It was interesting that we saw almost no Red National Socialist Mommies in (or even near) the Statehouse.

    However, relatively early in our demonstration they sent a single scout up the trail:

    Throughout the morning our own Patriots also continued to arrive and to make their way up the trail.

    Here are two awesome Patriot Pickets whose signs were damaged from their heavy use and deployment in the rain demonstrating for our Second Amendment freedoms in the front plaza of the U.S. Supreme Court on December 2, 2019 during oral argument in the NYSPRA v. NYC case:

    Very soon afterwards, it was time for the largest daily natural migration of the wildlife which inhabit this very cold and desolate environment: “March of the Legislators”

    However, it’s very late, so the download of the PP wildlife camera will be paused for tonight; some amazing pics will be displayed on Friday!

    That seems to be the case. I have seen first hand how meticulous testimony in opposition to some of these anti-gun bills have penetrated the MGA armor in several cases. This is my first year in Annapolis, yesterday my second day of testifying - written and oral. I highly recommend to everyone that can possibly make it, to show up and testify.

    I don't testify because I REALLY desire to recommend physical locations to politicians for their pet bills that are anatomically impossible, but fun to speculate on. :innocent0

    The rally so far looks GLORIOUS!

    Thank you for the historic indoor pics Inspector 1489!

    I could not be happier to see your pics because I had to miss all the Patriot Picket pre- and post-speech indoor lobby action to wrangle the outdoor demonstration gear.

    Wow is all I can say: MISSION ACCOMPLISHED in every goal, indoors and out, before and after the speech!

    I want to give a BIG SHOUT-OUT to ENGINE4 and ARAY who performed crucial indoor, pre-speech “advance” work in the lobby and kept us informed while we were outside getting the attention of the legislators and the media.

    All said and done: a perfect Patriot Picket day in Annapolis, and thanks again to everyone who came early and/or stayed late to participate.

    Now, on with the show ...

    The “March of the Legislators” begins ...

    Republican Delegates Otto (D-38, front), Jacobs (D-36, left), Mangione (D-42B), right) lead none other than our Superintendent of the Maryland State Police Colonel William Pallozzi, tucked in behind the three Delegates.

    I was so focused (literally) on framing the picture that I missed seeing Col. Pallozzi until I looked at this pic on a larger screen.

    Doh!

    Republican legislators appreciate our presence in Annapolis.

    Being outnumbered is no fun; having us there is a morale boost, and many like to stop and talk with us if they are early for their session.

    Below, Delegates Arentz (D-36) and Morgan (D-29A):

    I've had a number of interesting conversations with our Republican legislators. They absolutely welcome our presence. Theirs is a lonely task, attempting to rein in a relatively irrational, out of control Dem supermajority.

    Worse, a number of the "adult" Dems, who were not on our side but at least would listen to reasonable counter-arguments, have given up on the GA.

    There’s no question they enjoy speaking with BobA!

    Patriot Picket members have a well-earned reputation On The Bricks; we receive respect and enjoy access to genuine conversations and important political information.

    That applies to legislators, past and present, at the highest level.

    Former Lt. Governor Michael Steele stopped by for an exchange of ideas and shared laugh with BobA in an extended conversation:
