Fox News Channel covers SJ's Black Friday OC Event

[jimbo-indy]

Saw a brief report on Fox News Channel with video about recent INGO open carry event in downtown Indy on Black Friday.
Segment was brief, about 15-20 seconds, but was neutral as to the issues. Was billed as a "demonstration" against IMPD's treatment of those legally carrying. Announcer clearly stated that carrying of rifles/shotguns does not require permit under Indiana state law.
INGO was not mentioned specifically but this was on a national broadcast where most viewers wouldn't know INGO anyway.
At least it wasn't "bad press". Very factual and fairly treated.

The thread about the event was closed when I went look for a thread to post in...

I heard this morning about it on WFIU. It was also a well done piece and if anything was even a little bit gun-positive, though it did out a prolific INGO poster The article wasn't about INGO, just the protest.

Why is exercising your rights considered a "protest"?

Remember no positive will come of this event

Remember no positive will come of this event

Because there was a close-up of IndyMonkey?

I thought Indymonkey was in like a 14th floor window overseeing the event.

Or maybe it was a coffee shop.

Either way...

What I saw was on FOX NEWS CHANNEL but I would bet they got it from the local Fox affiliate, Channel 59.
Don't have a link, I'm not that computer/internet skilled.
Again, they treated this fairly as a citizen's response to an earlier incident where police detained someone legally carrying. I assume they were referring to the City Market incident.

Wow, so it went national to FNC. Congratulations again to the guys involved.

That's just what some of the naysayers said when I was planning this event, as far as IM goes, story obviously wasn't about INGO as he is no longer an active member of this board.

Thanks Expat, I'm amazed it went national, look forward to seeing it, hope they replay it.
