Thanks! This has NOT been posted yet! This will be an important event with so many bills coming forward wanting to further tighten the noose.

I might go.

My wife is having surgery on the 20th. A lot will depend on how she is doing post operatively.

I'm not trying to be a naysayer in any way, but does anyone know anything about the organizers?

The Gun Rights Coalition?

Looks like they set up a website in 2013, but there is zero information on it:

http://gunrightscoalition.org/

Again, not being a naysayer, just looking for more information.

I think it's important to represent, but even more important to represent well.

Rick Halle (Wa Chapter of the GRC) has been involved in numerous events at the Capitol. If you have attended previous Rallies, you probably saw him. So, he is legit, and GRC is legit too. The problem is, there is NO communication on this since it was posted. Besides a buried post in the FB event page, you really can't tell if the event is still on? It is though, according to a post from 10 days ago.

On the Capitol Calendar, it's listed. Also listed at the park 2 blocks away is a suicide awareness walk.

Yes, he helped organize some of the 594 rallies both at the Capitol and downtown Seattle. There has been very little publicity or promotion for this one.

I am coming with a group of at least a dozen.

I will be wearing my wagun t-shirt, but the weather will have it covered.

Another truly disappointing turnout today. Maybe 150 people tops; that is including the speakers and their entourages. Then we wonder why they force crap laws upon us like 594 and soon to be 1499...

On a nice Saturday afternoon like today, there could have been 5000 people, but nope.... :blackcloud1:

I absolutely couldn't make it today. But marketing and outreach is a thing, and I didn't hear anything about this other than here and the whole thing seems to have been organized along the lines of "if we hold it, they will come"
