At the Open PA Rally on the Capitol steps yesterday, a guy was open-carrying an M16 style rifle. Another was conceal-carrying (not really) a rather large handgun.

I'm glad to see that. I know that people sometimes balk at the idea of carrying a firearm to a rally, seeing it as "threatening" or something. And maybe it is, to a certain extent. But when a government decides to utilize tyranny to achieve more power, a thinly veiled threat is what's needed. The second amendment is there for a reason, and perhaps Governor Wolf ought to consider that when he's pushing his house-arrest agenda.

I looked for, but did not see, lookouts/snipers on the capitol roof. Also, capitol police were friendly.

Make a rule that says “You can’t carry during a protest.” and you better, damn sure, make a rule that says the media can’t cover the protest in any way.

No freedom of arms, no freedom of the press.

Simple.
