wusker, I have been following this thread and have been torn on the subject, as many that know and understand. Yes there have been successful open carry events, but there have been many more open carry events that have caused negative responses. So how do you have a positive event and not one that ends up limiting our rights? That becomes the million dollar question.
First you must have clearly established goals for the event, what do you want to accomplish by it, are those goals reachable, is this the best or only way to accomplish those goals.
Then comes the even more difficult part, organizing the event. You must make certain that no laws are being violated, how will you assure that nobody that shows up is violating a law (if one person out of a thousand breaks a law the whole group/event is labled as such), how do you get people to attend/what is the draw. These are all questions that need to be answered before even starting to work on something like this, and they take lots of planning and control, something that is more difficult to have than it sounds.
I have more questions than answers at this point, but if someone could come up with answers and a plan i would be open to listening.
