Here is a recap of all of the pictures. For more pictures of this event and other firearms related pictures Go Here

Several news stations covered the event.

IMPD was kind enough to block off a portion of the street for the rally.

This guy’s shoulder must be hurting after carrying that M82 around on an unpadded sling for 2 hours straight.

If you ever find yourself downtown Indy after a rally, I highly recommend Rocket Fizz Soda and Candy Shop.

Rocket Fizz even has wall décor you might like…

Also, you may like South Bend Chocolate Company Chocolate Cafe...

This sundae is called the "four horsemen". A banana split on steroids with four scoops of ice cream of your choice.

O
And I'm not sure who or if anyone was in charge of this thing but I think Car Ramrod did a good job of keeping everyone informed and having a hand in pulling it off

No one was in charge. It was a true grassroots event.

Keep your eyes peeled for another event in the spring MAC and I will be helping to put together, again, grassroots we won't have anyone coopting these events for their own agendas. RKBA. No politics, no groups trying to claim victory or make money off of these events.

We The People.

Also, we are looking to put together an event at Pete V's office up in NW Indiana.

We cannot allow his blatant disregard for the Constitution and elitist responses to our letters and calls go unanswered.

He needs to know the people of his district will be watching his votes and we will hold him accountable for his actions.

You let us know when you got a ride and we will work with that.

Let me know when you get some details together and I'll do what I can to get the word out.

let me know when and I'll jump through hoops again to find a way to be there. it cost me $180 this time ($60-gas $20-parking and $100-bribe) plus I payed for lunch. not to mention the wages lost for a full day off both jobs and the $80 spent printing up posters to make signs from.

 

[RabbleRouser]

but I consider it all money well spent, sacrifices must be made after all

Well, hopefully you won't have to jump through so many hoops.
I couldn't give you a ride because I worked mids, and there was no way to make it from Merrillville out to where you were.
Maybe next time though.

I was out of town this weekend on a business trip. Just read through the last 30 or so pages and watched the videos.

All I can say is that I'm darn proud to be an American...you guys did a great job! This is what our country is all about, and what will help keep it great!

Three things for next month. 1) PA systems open for anyone that wants to speak. 2) a continuous unbroken line around the state house complex. 3) Fife and Drums.....would really liven up things and give the group a rally point.

Three good things: 1) I was there with two fiends 2) turnout of the alternative media 3) united stand in support of 2A and freedom.

I thought it was a good rally, Didn't really care for the Alex Jones guy who spoke about how many times he had been arrested with OW or the fella who yelled out "Join the Indian Militia Corps", or all the anonymous masks.

I would also suggest staying in one spot, right after everyone started the march around the capital the news showed up and started taking video of 3 people standing with signs and we stopped them and told them that everyone was marching around the capital and to hang tight.

Other then that I thought it was a good rally, lots of good signs, people were curtious to pedestrians...runners, and everyone followed the state laws without causing negative news. Unfortunately TN didn't fair so well on that front.

I thought it worked well for a weekday event, lots of people downtown and alot of visability. People in office buildings giving the thumbs up and one thumbs down. People Honking as they drove buy, one giving us the finger. All in all it was a good day!

Yes, I missed the speeches because I was too far back to hear.

2) a continuous unbroken line around the state house complex.

I'd prefer a march and then the congregation. The single line makes it too easy to minimize the numbers. Of course, if we had so many people that we could look like the group we had on the south lawn and have it all the way around the State House, that would work too.

3) Fife and Drums.....would really liven up things and give the group a rally point.

Excellent idea. Someone with a sing on a very long stick was using the stick to bang the sidewalk and every time I heard it I thought it was a drum. It would have been nice for a little drum beat to march to.

Are they aware of your characterization of them.

PA system would be great or a bigger bull horn, only thing about a PA system is electricity and feed back.

You can form a line completely around the state house.... There is one side, I believe on Senate Street that connected the Plaza to the State House was told if you go in that area you would be arrest at the January 19 rally.
Plus the MSM loves those time when people are spread out...make it easy to say no one was there.

Fife and dumb, and maybe a chant of some sort. Real simple...I can't think of one. Maybe someone else can.
