Gun Rally 3-10-20

I had the opportunity to attend the TFA/GOA gun rally inside the old Tennessee Supreme Court room in the Tennessee Capitol.   The topic was to support the proposed Constitutional Carry bills. It was my first time in the State Capitol.  I wore my instructor gear and sat in the front row.  Unfortunately, at this rally (inside the State Capitol), firearms carry was prohibited.  To my knowledge, there were no other Project Appleseed instructors INSIDE the Capitol. However, we had several folks (one was an inactive IIT) covering us OUTSIDE the Capitol. TFA says they plan to make this an annual event and next year's rally will be in a location that allows handgun carry. ;)

They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.
Benjamin Franklin, 1775

"A free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined; to which end a uniform and well-digested plan is requisite; and their safety and interest require that they should promote such manufactories as tend to render them independent of others for essential, particularly military, supplies."  George Washington 1790

"[T]o preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them…"

It was my duty.  :F  No thanks needed, but appreciated.  Here is photo evidence before the festivities started.

Nashville Stage

I wasn't able to make the morning rally, but BluegrassColonel and I attended the judicial subcommittee meeting that evening. It was my first time there as well... an interesting experience. Lots of grandstanding was heard.  ::)

Is that Hickok behind you? It's good to see him around.

I didn't get to meet too many folks.  So, Maybe.  The name sounds familiar.
