Right. So that describes the risk... but the reward is simply getting noticed?
In this day and age, there are better ways to get noticed and you don't take the same potential PR risks.
well, if media shows up, if the right person or people speak to them and appear on tv or radio, thats a good thing. it would just add to the pre-planned scheduled appearances that people like you and ed participate in.
because as another onlooker of things; I see appearances by "leaders" of specialised groups, and while the general public does listen to these, I believe the general public would also be inclined to listen a bit more closely to an everyday citizen speaking their opinions on the same matter, such as people at a rally. and in the case of our cause, one can only hope they don't choose an intoxicated bafoon to interview, but rather someone with a brain and a vocabulary, someone responsible with good morals; someone who can properly represent the majority of gun enthusiasts.
I do agree with you that there are plenty of other ways to go about this that can be just as or more effective. but I think anything and everything that can be done to show support for an unfringed 2A should be done.
if this does occur nationwide, with groups of thousands at every state capital, I'm sure it will have an impact. this isn't just for local CT legislation, this is for the whole kitten caboodle, everything federal state and local.
