I know a lot of things have to be hashed out. However, it has to be decided at some point if we go armed or unarmed. If unarmed, then everyone should have a holster strapped to their side. I prefer armed. What are they going to do? Arrest a million people?

I personally do not own a gun but I’m willing to march anyway with all folks who do. We need to draw a line in the sand. Odrama can go pound sand.

Easier just to shoot them. ;-P

I'm thinking, let it be informally known that lots of attendees will be carrying concealed. DC police will know most of these folks are armed but won't have probable cause to search any one person.

Ask the Bonus Marchers. They suffered tear gas and a cavalry assault, horse cavalry. The troops were lead by General MacArthur, his aid Dwight Eisenhower and Major George Patton. The Bonus Marchers were not armed, and there were 20,000 or so of them. Now there is that directed energy weapon (millimeter wave) that makes you feel like you are on fire. It was designed just for such situations, albeit in Southwest Asia, not the Capital of the United States. But it would be used there, if the marchers are lucky, if not they'll use more lethal equipment.

Emerson once asked Thoreau, who was jailed for his beliefs, "Why are you in here?". Thoreau replied, "Why are you out there?".
