Default Please Join CCRKBA and Hoffmang in LA for an Amazing Event

Who: The Citizens Committee for the Right To Keep and Bear Arms and Gene Hoffman.

What: Rally to oppose Mayors Against Illegal Guns' new gun control scheme and generally support the right to keep and bear arms.

Where: Downtown Los Angeles (across from City Hall). On NW corner of W. 1st & N. Spring, , kitty corner within eyesight of City Hall (frontside), adjacent to LATimes, south side of W. 1st.



Meet ahead of time at: Redwood Bar & Grill, 316 West 2nd Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012; t. (213) 680-2600

Parking: Please see Post 100.

When: 11:30AM Wednesday, March 16.

Please join the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms and our own Hoffmang (Gene Hoffman) as they rally against Mayor Bloomberg's latest scheme to infringe on our rights to keep and bear arms.

Most of you are familiar with Bloomberg's Mayors Against Illegal Guns. In the tradition of past harebrained schemes such like restricting the painting of firearms and denying fundamental Constitutional Rights without due process. Hizzoner's latest ploy to strip guns from law abiding Americans is called, "Fix Gun Checks".

Now, the rubes at MAIG seek to:
  • Require background checks for ALL firearms transfers.
  • Allow people to be designated as "mentally ill" without proper adjudication.
  • Allow people to be designated as "illegal drug users" without proper adjudication.
  • Allow people to be put on a "prohibited list" without proper adjudication.

Screw them.

Let them go pound sand.

In the meantime - let's voice our displeasure and at the same time educate folks and the media that contrary to hysterical proclamations, that GUNS SAVE LIVES!

CCRKBA has a truck (pictured below) which is being used as the centerpiece to an education campaign. And the campaign is coming to Los Angeles.



Gene Hoffman is going to speak to the press - and we'd like to have some folks there to show support, create a little buzz and make for a nice media picture.

If we're going to change the minds of people and the media, we have to demonstrate that gun owners are ordinary folks. We have to put faces to the concepts of "gun owner".

Please join us at this event. More details to follow.

CCRKBA's Press Release is HERE.

Ladies and Gentleman, this event NEEDS TO BE HUGE. If possible, come dressed in your Sundays best or at least something presentable.

NO CAMO!! Or anything offensive please.

We are attempting to plan out all issues, however, please be flexable with parking in the area, times etc.
If you have any issues day of the event, please call my cell phone. 626 733 3366. Leave a message if I don't answer or text. Please include your name and cgn handle.

Expect media coverage and a lot of attention. Post this thread on your facebook page, tweet about it, print it out and post it on the bulletin board at work. We need you out there sending a message. Its time to fight against the FUD and show bloomberg how the Calguns rolls. We will be finishing the day with bs' ing and drinks just down the street from the meeting place.

Please check back for updates here. Now lets get a guest list started.

No. Stangely enough, MAIG (or Fix Gun Checks) refuses to publish a schedule. Folks have been working on getting one by hook & crook - but no dice.

Why wouldn't they have a schedule?

I'm probably going to drive down from Sonora in my 1963 Dodge Dart. It will take me 6 hours each way, and it will cost me several hundred dollars in lost income, but I am GLADLY willing to do this for the cause.

I urge all of you who are in SoCal to take an hour or two out of your day, and do the same thing.

EDIT: Just posted on FB, and tweeted. Will do blog post shortly, etc. . .

Maybe someone can chime in with more info. If it comes down to it you could find parking somewhere and do just that. Once the fun begins I'm sure it won't be hard to miss.

Unfortunately for me I have to find a way to evade full time employment. I always seem to miss the fun.

I can't get the day off. I'm a teacher (no paid vacation outside of the many I already have) and I'm not going to call-in-sick for a political protest like the many hypocritical teachers at the rallies in Wisconsin.

Is there a place I can get bumper stickers to match the message on the truck?

I doubt it's the same truck nationwide (probably just renting them out in the various cities and putting in the sign), but if it was, GPS bug it.

Dress code is collared shirt.

A polo is a collared shirt.

There's a public lot around the corner.

The meet-up place will be announced shortly. It's also around the corner. Monitor the three top posts for new and changing information.

On SE corner of E. 2nd Street and N. Main there 's a private lot. Looks like there's a parking garage across the street, too.

Anyone needing info regarding downtown L.A. is welcome to pm me or call my cel. (323*229-8165. -jp
There's lots of things to do and see around the area there. If you prefer to park at a meter, take 4 or 5 dollars in quarters. Go east on 2nd street, your best bet. If you're forced to park farther away, stop at a DASH bus stop. The bus is a quarter, a dime more if you need to transfer.

I use to work in little tokyo at 340 E. 2nd Street and there is a private parking next door (5 Star Parking) lot on 350 E. 2nd Street which is approximately 2 blocks south east from the rallly point. Cost is about $8.00 all day.

Likewise, there is Joes Parking lot (across Bank of the West) on 2nd and San Pedro which is probably a lil cheaper and closer to the rally point.

I'll try to make it to the rally but no guarantees since I have a job interview that day in the OC. Perhaps afterwards if possible...

BTW: watch your meter parkings since the police will not hesistate to tow.

Due to my schedule Wednesdays are virtually always a "no" for anything and any reason (and have been for several years). Sorry.
