NOTE: most of what I said in this post is incorrect, please disregard. Prebans are still assault weapons.

----------------------------------------

Yeah but he said it's a preban, so it's not classified as an assault weapon.

I'm not aware of any CT state laws specific to SBRs (obviously federal law applies).

I think in the eyes of the state, it's just a plain ole' rifle. He should be G2G.

Prebans are still assault weapons.  They're just exempt from registration and transfer restrictions.   All other restrictions still apply.

Why April? What makes April the month to protest?




It's probably because it's the day after the 1 year anniversary of SB1160 becoming law. That, and it's plenty of advanced notice to hopefully get a huge turnout.


As a comment from a non-CT resident:  You need to astroturf like Democrats.



The huge masses of drum beating communist FSA hippies that filled the Wisconsin state house were inflated by busloads of out-of-state protestors.  Unemployed 'rent-a-mobs' paid for by the unions and the liberal foundations.



Employed, non-Communist Americans are usually to prosaic to demonstrate (that's why Tricky Dick called them the 'silent majority').



Maybe get all those gun companies in CT to charter buses for their workers and their families and pay their workers for the day?  It's what the Democrats Communists would do.



And you need to BUY air time to show the scale of the protest, because the local media won't.  You'll get 15 seconds on the local 11:00 news and they'll show the last three people there like that's all there was.



Study the enemy.  How did they organize against Scott Walker?  How did they pull those huge crowds?  How to they do a huge anti-immigration march?  How does the media make 60 demonstrators look like 6000?



What are their tactics, techniques and procedures?  How can we use them?

Is there any interest in renting our own bus from Cabelas to the grounds, and back? One trip each way, maybe two depending on the amount of interest?

I've been thinking about heading up to the rally from Pa - driving up and back in the same day -



Any suggestions for parking?  



Other than parking, 10 round magazine capacity, no ARs/AKs/FALs and all the things listed in the original post, is there anything else a out of stater should know?  Something all you guys know about, but myself or other out of staters might now know about?

I think one way or another, parking is generally going to be a rats-nest. I fully anticipate the city being inundated with pro-2a supporters, and parking being totally overrun.

I myself, if no one else is interested in a bus or larger transportation etc, will be parking at Cabelas in East Hartford and taking a taxi to the capitol and back.

There is also ample parking at the Convention Center, for a fee. If someone else would chime in that would be great, but I believe its only a 10-15 minute walk to the capitol from there. Maybe 20 minutes.

I can't make the rally (1,900 miles is a little bit of a haul for me) but I'm donating.  I was one of the founders of the Basic Freedom Defense Fund in Colorado.  We were seven guys with no political experience who were outraged at the laws that were rammed down our throats despite THOUSANDS of citizens saying no and were pissed enough to try to do what everyone said was "impossible."  We did it with both the Democrat AND Republican leaderships working against us and trying to scuttle us, hardly anyone giving us air time, everyone trying to keep us from getting our message out.  We succeeded in large part because, when we were flat-out broke (literally - I was down to selling some guns), ARFCommers from all over the country came through and ponied up hard-earned cash to keep us going.

I swore I would do what I could to return the favor so CCDL donation sent.  Good luck, brothers.

I didn't realize this was only "scheduled" for three hours... Noon to 3 o'clock. But then, nothing's preventing this from being longer.

I have a few collapsible tables and a decent canopy. Is it worth bringing them? I'd have to get there early, which would pretty much dictate a spot, but I don't want to be "that" guy, who chose a shitty location. I'm also coming with at least two friends.

I also plan on making a couple signs, attached to some spruce posts for height.

And people wonder why I won't purchase a fucking membership here. I'd be just as well to send a $24 check straight to the fucking governors mansion with "for gun control" on the notes line.

Sorry fellas, Im fucking pissed. I guess were supposed to hang alone.

I presume It'll run longer but I don't actually know. A canopy might not be a bad idea if the weather is inclement, and a table if there is a purpose. If its going to be cold I was planning on getting coffee for us and hot cocoa for the kids, and for that a table would be great.

I believe its on the other side of the building from what you have bookmarked. (The north side) Can anybody vouch for that?

If it was going to be done, I would say at the curb along the parking lot, if Im right about it being on the north side. Just so it doesn't detract from the speakers or get in anybody's way.

You can see a set of steps on the north side, where a podium has been set up in the past for the speakers.

Actually, I didn't intend for that "A" mark to show there. That's just where Google stuck it after doing a search for "hartford, ct capitol north grounds"

Yes, the rally WOULD be held on the opposite side of the building, on the North Grounds.


I guess it should be right up against the actual capital building, similar to the pictures CCDL has on their site?

Hey, you got a donation out of me.

Did you get a mod message about spamming?  If not, it might have come across as a fundraiser thread and those need prior approval.  I know because I got - ahem - "pee-pee smacked" for that as well when the recalls started up.  Drop Striker an IM if that's the case - he's an honorary Coloradan after the help he offered us, I'm sure he won't mind multi-citizenship.

FWIW, our new organization, the Colorado Second Amendment Association is highlighting what's going on in an article I posted for publishing tomorrow.  We've also got a newsletter coming out on the 15th and I got Board approval (there are only three of us so that sounds more impressive than it is) to include a plug for the CCDL.  There's only so much we can do but, by God, we're doing it.  

Americans are citizens, not subjects, and we will be treated as such.  We hang together, brother.
