Peaceful 2nd Amendment Gathering at the State Capitol - Feb 8 2013

[miguel]

I stood up and spoke, but had to disarm before stepping onto the steps. I got video of everybody else speaking but forgot to hand the phone off to the wife to record me. D'oh.

I've got about 35 minutes of people speaking. I'll get it uploaded when I get home and settled.

Which one were you? What were you wearing?

500+ for sure and from walking the opposite direction of everybody else I'd easily say 750+.

I love that the news is reporting "dozens" or "100 others".

I watched everyone file by from my office window and I'd say that you're accurate, if not underestimating somewhat.

Which one were you? What were you wearing?

Jeans, blue shirt, winter hat has gray and blue in it. I think I'm the only one that held the megaphone up to my mouth and actually spoke loudly.

I spoke about us not being criminals, to make our voices heard, and not to allow our legislators to turn us into criminals essentially.

I have the audio (phone was recording) just no video as it was in my hand .

Loved it! You were great, as were many of the other speakers.

Saw this while walking down Capitol towards the rally. Funny as hell. And I expect rep for posting this one!!!

Two speakers. Gray haired guy was from Bloomington. The guy next to him was basically the emcee of the event. His voice sounded like Greg Garrison. At first I thought it was Kirk, but then he told me his name and it wasn't Kirk.

A kid spoke next -- think he was 9 years old? -- and made more sense then DiFi, Steny Hoyer or 98.7% of any other political figures in the USA. He had a 22 and what looked to be a Red Ryder with him!

And our friend Que was there, too!

There I am in the brown bomber jacket, and my buddy from the UK that I brought along in the leather one...

Here's a few I took... Camera battery was playing up so I didn't get as many as I wanted.

There are more on my flickr page... don't want to flood the forum.

It was good to see the turn out. Would have liked to see several thousand more, but such is life! Met some good folks!

Apparently I'm not the only one who thought this.

I did, but I still want a bigger one, 'cause this makes my head look small!

That's Paul Hager in the tan coat, I don't recognize the guy in the dark coat.

 

[scottka]

Jealous!!!

I didn't realize that it's still not that big when you click on it, but use "Ctrl +" to make it bigger although it gets pretty grainy.
