Props to bogman2121 for bringing this up and the image source.
A few of us were planning on meeting at a Starbucks (1700 Broadway Denver, CO 80290), before the rally started. Are you guys still up for this?
Maybe we could throw some cash together and get large durable protest signs/banners printed.
P.S.: Post #300!
My friend Ed and I are still in, and I believe griebel303 is too.

Be careful with that. There's an obscure state regulation that says any group that spends over $200 on an issue has to register as a PAC. Our neighborhood organizers against annexation (the "No" group) got sued by the sleazy "Yes" group (they had an Attorney living in the subdivision) for this for yard signs purchased at cost form a member's business printer.

It has never been at noon, it has always been planned for 10am... whoever started putting noon on events out there is screwing everything up and will inevitably cause our numbers to be reduced.... who that shows up at 10 and sees few folks there, is going to stay til noon?!

Yes, I've seen that flyer. I've also seen this one from the Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership (JPFO) webpage, where the keynote speaker is coming from, who seems to be under the impression the rally starts at noon.

Forgive me. I don't doubt that there are groups convening at noon, clearly there are. I just think it was poor judgement to change their times from the original and therefore cut the overall numbers who turnout at the proper time. It is important that we have respectable numbers...

I agree. I don't have a horse in this race. I'm just pointing out the first flyer seems to be a generic flyer with no contact information--just show up at 10. There's a second with flyer that has speakers, etc.--that all appear to be starting at noon. up until i saw this thread my understanding is the thing was at noon.
not saying it isn't going to happen at 10--post up on this thread if you're there at 10 and folks are gathering!

Oh well. I'll plan on just showing up at the 10am one and just staying for the later ones. Can't hurt to be early, right?

... let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
...
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.
...
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:
...
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
...
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us ...
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

there's another meeting tonight at the la quinta on Colorado Blvd with Charles Heller of JFPO. i didn't catch the address, so i don't know if there is more than one La Quinta on Colorado. The topics are 2nd amendment activism and potential for formation of citizens committee for second amendment issues
There were a few hundred people there at the peak, sometime around 12:45. Not nearly enough if you ask me.

Thanks for the pictures. If they didn't do this on a workday, I'm sure the crowd would have been much bigger.... It's not like we're Occupy Wall Street or anything... Most responsible gun owners have (or are actively seeking) a job.

well, it's a double-edged sword. the objective was to be there when the legislators were. the last one was on a Saturday but it was about double the size

Ha! I did walk in the building and noted a lot of smiles my way when I was in there... but as said by a member on here "Smile first before they f*ck you!"
Here's some pics I took inside the capital

Being responsible can be a bitch.
Not quite the crowd I was hoping to see, but I'm not alone in having to earn a living.
Thanks to those that were able to take the time!

I went to the meeting with JPFO executive director Charles Heller last night. Ultimately, it was twofold--one, getting a greater JPFO presence at gun shows, rallies, etc. (seeking "ambassadors" to have tables); and, (2) discussion of trying to start a group such as the Arizona Citizens Defense League. There were some folks there from the Firearms Coalition of Colorado, which may essentially be trying to obtain the objectives of a proposed CDL.
I haven't seen or heard anything anywhere about how the gun rights protests went on Friday.. Oddly quiet?
