[Static_USMC]

Anyone got information (Link) on the Maryville 2nd amendment rally thats supposed to happen at the old court house on Feb 9th?  Iam not even sure if this is true, I had 2 different people tell me about it.

 

Thanks,

Details:

There is going to be a Pro 2nd Amendment gathering at the Blount County Courthouse in Maryville, TN on Saturday, February 9th at 12pm noon. This will be an organized, peaceful rally to bring attention to the crisis our country is facing. There will be supportive Military, Law-enforcement and Politicians present. Please dress professionally and do not bring rifles or shotguns. If you have a valid Tennessee carry permit you can carry on the property outside the Court House but not inside or on the property of the adjacent city park.

Haha just saw this thread. I posted a new one before I saw yours but I guess the more the word gets out, the better! I included the link to an article in the Daily Times.

Had a pretty good turn out, thanks to all that made it out.

[Guest vmjones]

for as short of a notice as this had, it was most definitely a decent turnout.  and an absolutely beautiful winter day on wich to have it.

[GoneBallistic]

Great turnout, good publicity, no one did anything stupid...I say we chalk it up for a win!!

Knox news said there was about 400. And an anti there said those she talked to were respectful of her views. Wtg

[Static_USMC]

I was going to get a pic of the anti's sign, but didn't want to give her attention. She probably just wanted a hug :)

[GoneBallistic]

So what was said anti's "platform"? What was her reasoning? If there was any...

"Why do you need armor piercing bullets, why do you need hi cap mags, why do yo need assault weapons". Is what she had on her sign. I assumed her questions were answered by the end of the rally :) Edited February 10, 2013 by Static_USMC

Her sign actually said why do you need high capacity "CLIPS". Just goes to show that an individual needs to be more informed on a topic before you attack it.

Many LEOs were there, but many were simply attendees.  The  organizer of the rally is a LEO.  The County Mayor was the keynote speaker and he asked that the county commisioners join him on the court house steps which all were in attendance and did so.

Can I "like" more than once? :D

I feel silly for going halfway across the state and attending the dinky rally in Nashville, sounds like the Maryville rally was much more productive.  Unfortunately I had a family obligation in Nashville and was unable to make it to the Maryville event, wish I could have been there.

The rally had a front page write-up,with pictures, in the Maryville paper and it was done, in my opinion, with a lot of class and no bias.
