Permits approved and date confirmed for the 21st.  Display tables will be on the 4th floor manned by LIFE, HIFICO, Puuloa Club, GMAC.  Still waiting confirmation for HRA's attendance.

Still need more people for the small rally.

This is in preparation of a much larger event in January 2020.

Please msg me if you're attending with your phone number.

The purpose of the event.

We are keeping the event small so that it is manageable and focused. We don't have experience running a large event and this will be a learning experience for everyone to fix problems and learn from this. The plan is to use this event to prepare for a larger event next year with hundreds of people in a rally and have display tables from most gun clubs and stores.

This also gives you the experience to talk to the representatives in a group. You get to share experiences with them and also learn from each other. You will then be able to teach others not attending to do the same.

And lastly it shows the legislature that we are serious about the 2nd amendment and are organizing and working on it. Some gun rights supporting legislators told me they are disappointed that the gun community doesn't get involved. It makes it difficult for them to vote against the gun control establishment when the gun community doesn't support them and themselves.

Great day for rally goers to attend to do their "oral testimony" in the JDC senators offices on Feb 21st since there are Senate committee hearings on Friday Feb 22nd for the four  "deleted testmony" bills and it's written testimony only, no oral testimony in the hearing.
