Same here. No thugs. Our local sheriff (a great guy!) was in attendance. One guy showed up with an assault rifle (Pa is an avid gunrights state) and the police never blinked an eye! Only thing close to 'thugs' that I saw were several students from the local university who tried to get some guy in a wheelchair to sign their pro-obamacare petition. He headed straight over to our table to sign the ANTI-obamacare petition! LOL!
The gun guy was probably responsible enough to have hinself frisked...his gun inspected etd. The Police undoubtedly KNEW ahead of time it was not a danger.
the Police would appreciate that type of cooperation.
