Who's up for an open carry pro 2-A march at an Occupy march?
Non confrontational, just make signs & O.C. on leg holsters or long guns slung over the shoulder.
It's illegal to OC a loaded weapon in portland unless you have your CHL, so only CHL holders can OC a loaded pistol.
This is proposed as being around Occupy Portland.
Not a counter protest, however not necessarily in support of their message, being as their official message has been vague thus far.
Simply stating that the 2nd amendment preserves the first, at a rare time when those on the left are proclaiming that the constitution means something rather than just saying "it's just a piece of paper"
Confrontational counter protests will be counterproductive being as this movement encourages participation from all 99%, so it will be difficult for the masses to try to alienate our cause without proving themselves hypocrites.
That being said, our group will stick together to assure no stupid kids try to grab a sidearm unloaded or not. We feel it would be a good idea to keep exposed sidearms unloaded.
Carrying your CCW piece concealed & loaded would be the safest bet for all parties involved if you choose to carry live ammo.
Also, we will stay away from any hot spots that might develop with O.P. and refrain from confrontation of any type with anybody as well as keep back from any law enforcement that may be in the vicinity.
No sinister looks to anybody on either side.
Just happy go lucky 2-a supporters supporting the Second Amendment.
Portland Law enforcement has been AWESOME during these events despite what you might see on youtube or the news.
Gadsen flags & US flags (mounted stars UP) would be appropriate.
Professionally printed signs are a definite possibility.
Themes like standing against the proposed cooperation with the UN regarding the small arms treaty that would be expected to superceed our Constitutional rights would be those to push.
So how about it?
During these turbulent times, we must realize that the time for speaking up for our Constitutional rights is before they're taken away.
If this is a people's movement, we'll show that we're the 99% too & all sides must accept that if one's going to proclaim to be the 99%

We are aware many in the community do not think it would be a good idea.
We respect your opinion & welcome you not to come if the idea makes you feel uncomfortable.
Joey Link set this forum up as a venue for political change to cement our 2nd Amendment rights, so those interested, RSVP & we'll work together to ensure a a positive outcome.
This movement is growing & liberals are open to suggestion as well as endorsing Constitutional rights at the moment, so we plan to seize the opportunity to show America that the firearms community is normal, everyday working folks with many of the same base concerns as themselves before they shift to an anti-gun stance as a whole.
If this movement is already large enough to have its own soundtrack, we suggest it be steered to pro-2a ideals before it shifts.
If one feels the need to start a flame war against us, please feel free to start a sister thread.
Your flames will only be deleted & this thread will be re-posted until Joey Link, this forum's admin requests it not be.
Thank you for your time.

UPDATE;
IN ORDER TO AVOID COMPLICATIONS & TO ADDRESS THE FACT THAT WE DO NOT KNOW OWS'S ULTIMATE MOTIVATIONS, I PROPOSE INVITING THOSE FROM THE LEFT TO JOIN, HOWEVER, IT WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE TO PREDICT ROUTES FOR PERMITS & OTHER LOGISTICAL CONCERNS.
I CORDIALLY INVITE EVERYBODY INTERESTED TO WORK OUT LOGISTICS & PLANNING ON THE SECOND AMENDMENT SUPPORTERS FACEBOOK GROUP; Second Amendment Supporters NW
The page was just made & I'm new to the whole facebook group thing, so try to join & I'll try to approve.
I just sent out a bunch of notifications to those who
I just have the idea, we'll all work together to work out all the logistics.
In these times when our Constitutional Rights are under attack around every corner, it's vital that we have our message heard.
I'm thinking it'll take around a month to work everything out & build up forces.
Please, no negative symbolism in the rally.
Gun owners are already stereotyped enough.
That would be counterproductive.
Thanks for the interest!
