Depending on your opinions about stricter gun laws in the country, Oct. 19 will be a day to either lock and load or take cover.
Followers of Gun Rights Across America (GRAA) urge their fellow citizens to arm themselves openly and publicly in their front yards during “Guns Next Door,” a nationwide rally set to occur on the third Saturday in October.
“It raises awareness for the Second Amendment, and we are trying to change the image of the law-abiding gun owner. We’re not evil people: we’re professional people, we’re your neighbors…it’s not us you have to worry about, it’s the criminals,” Eric Reed, president and founder of GRAA, told MSNBC.
“As a mother I am outraged that they would try to teach my children that not only should they not be leery of strangers, but they shouldn’t be leery of armed strangers… I’ve spent a decade trying to teach my children that it isn’t safe to approach strangers,” Shannon Watts told MSNBC. She is the founder of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America and a mother to five children.
The event will last from 5 p.m. until 6 p.m. Eastern Standard Time and stagger simultaneously according to each time zone.
