I hope to see you there!
AFAIK the event is going forward as planned. See Rep. Metcalfe's (awesome) letter to Gov. Wolf here: http://www.repmetcalfe.com/News/17412/Latest-News/Stand-Your-Ground-Against-Socialism-Metcalfe-Confirms-2020-Right-to-Keep-and-Bear-Arms-Rally-Will-Go-on-Without-Dictator-Wolf%E2%80%99s-Permission- The guys at PAFOA are definitely still planning to go: http://forum.pafoa.org/showthread.php?t=355035 Parking kinda is terrible. I don't think there's a way to avoid paying for it unless you know someone in the city. That being said there are numerous garages in easy walking distance of the capitol building. https://parkharrisburg.com/ There is some street parking, but i've always just bitten the bullet and paid for a garage. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Armed or unarmed? I'll likely just be carrying a pistol, but there will be people there unarmed and people with rifles in full gear, so you won't be alone regardless of what you pick. One thing to note is that you cannot enter the capitol building armed. They will check pistols, but not rifles. I doubt it matters this year since i'm sure it will be closed to the public anyway. I'm also not sure about the friendliness of nearby businesses to OC for bathroom purposes lol. |

I was under the impression that unless you have a carry permit, you cannot OC during a state of emergency. Is that true? What's the point of going armed anyways, if nobody is likely willing to use them? Cops will just say hand them over and everyone will sheepishly comply. I could see the point if most of the attendees are ready to FO, but otherwise, its a loss of a good gun to some cock-gobbling goons. |

Quoted: Representive Daryl Metcalfe just uncancelled June 8th apparently according to his email. He sent letter to the governor saying that and more. Anyone going on 8 June? It's late but get word out. I ain't never been to Harrisburg before so where do we park? Thought it was canceled until I saw this. Why no tacked thread? I went to Richmond kinda blind due to work, got to the hotel late so missed the dinner/briefing. Was hoping to do better this time. A tacked thread thread with parking, hotels, comms, rally points etc would be helpful. Thanks |

IT APPEARS WE WILL HAVE SOME COMPANY ON JUNE 8TH!
 Attached FileGeorge Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Duncan Lemp protest being pushed on the same day as the 2A rally. By the same account on facebook that is also pushing anti-government sentiment. I dont have facebook but if any of you do, may be worth digging around on that account to see what you can find. Scobo is the username. |

Here is the direct link to the thread. https://forum.pafoa.org/showthread.php?t=355035 An observation from the Richmond (VA) Rattlesnake Rally thread in January: the powers-that-be "convinced" most of the parking garages and parking lots within walking distance of the protest to close "for safety reasons" on the day of the protest. That included the garages cancelling any prepaid reservations of people who had booked a parking spot for that day. Plus, street parking was also shut down in the rally area "for safety reasons". Of course, this was announced only a day or so ahead of the rally, so a lot of people were stuck without parking options, which probably discouraged a lot of people from attending. Expect our PA tyrants to pull similar shenanigans. |
