Press and protesters at the 1500?

[Osobuco]

Anyone think there will be a large press presence and/or protesters at the INDY 1500? Just curious as to what you all think.

I suspect the presence of actual firearms and actual people carrying said firearms will be a significant deterrent to even the most aggressive "anti-gun"ers.

Not that I'm holding signs...

I think the parking "attendants" will frighten most of them away.

No, the media might show up to video the looong line but there won't be any protesters (this is IN not NY)--and if they did who cares? I mean, what would they DO, yell at you?

Depends on protesters of *what*.

 

[BlueCow]

who cares if there are? gun ownership is a RIGHT. I also have a right to vote, i dont care if people that hate my candidate are "protesting" outside my polling location, im still going to vote.

not that i think any will be there, but they can exercise their 1st A right to protest, as i go in to the show and enjoy MY 2nd A. While i may not agree with what they have to say, i will support to the death the right of all to speak freely in this nation

I can't imagine any protesters. Consider the attendees and the atmosphere. You will not see animal rights activists protesting leather at a biker rally. It wouldn't end well for them.

Thats right...I always tell them that I will protect their 1st Ammendment Rights with my 2 Ammendment Rights! Even though I might disagree with them, I always try to conduct my self in a respectful manner in order to show that we are on the high road.

I've been to many, many 1500's and have never seen any protests.

 

[pillsbury1983]

I will be there protesting the availability of firearms... because I can't seem to find the ones I want. :-D

 

[IndyS3]

You mean there are people out there who do not like guns?

And ammo. It's scarce right now.

Magazines too, the Mako Group has Israeli made mags in stock, but PMags are nowhere to be found.
