What's New
National Training Week, July 4-11
The week of July 4th is being established as National Training Week, when Americans celebrate their freedom with firearms at the nation's shooting ranges. "Good Americans Are Good Marksmen." Perfect time to bring a newcomer to the range for an experience, and to exercise your freedom. Participating ranges offer free handgun rentals, special classes, go out and ask your local range to participate if they're not. (They'll probably say, "Never heard of it," that's OK, it's all described here, print it and give it to them):

Town Hall Meetings
Please be sure to regularly check our map on our homepage at
www.SecondAmendmentMarch.com for Town Hall Meeting dates and locations. New meetings are being added regularly.
MICHIGAN:
Our newest meeting was added today. It is scheduled for August 5, 2009 at the Western Wayne County Conservation Association (WWCCA) in Livonia, MI.
Michigan Open Carry sponsored a meeting/picnic in Traverse City last weekend. The weather was great and the company was even better. We had a lone protestor show up, bearing a sign that read: "Ban Assault Weapons". Northern Michigan's channel 7/4 showed up and interviewed both Skip Coryell and Brian Jeffs (Michigan coordinator for Second Amendment March and MOC President). The final news segment didn't mention Second Amendment March, unfortunately, but it did bring some attention to peaceful, law-abiding citizens practicing their Constitutional right.
Later that day an email was forwarded to me. It was an e-newsletter from none other than Michael Moore. Read about it in this newsletter...
OHIO:
Second Amendment Coordinator Skip Coryell in Ohio July 11
Second Amendment Coordinator Skip Coryell will be speaking at the Party in the Park, the annual family picnic of Ohioans For Concealed Carry, on Saturday July 11 held in Liberty Park, just north of Columbus. In addition to speaking about the Second Amendment March, Skip will be conducting a book signing for his book, "RKBA: Defending the Right to Keep and Bear Arms." There will also be Second Amendment March merchandise available for sale with all profits going to the March.
You do not need to be a member of Ohioans For Concealed Carry to attend the picnic, and all attendees are entered for various door prize including two handguns! Ticket purchase is only required for those who plan to participate in the BBQ lunch. More information:
http://www.ohioccw.org/content/view/4251 We'll Protect You, Michael Moore!
A supporter at the Traverse City, Michigan MOC picnic forwarded an email to me after the picnic. It was an e-newsletter from none other than filmmaker Michael Moore, who lives in Traverse City and runs his State Theatre there. Mr. Moore opens the letter with:
"Oh, how hard it is to be faced with the choices we have this weekend in Traverse City! Do I go see that funny film everyone's talking about at the State Theatre? Or do I go to the picnic in Sunset Park where everyone will be carrying a real, live handgun? Michigan law now allows anyone to carry a gun in public as long as it's not concealed. The guns have to be visible, in their holster, and the gunowner must 'not brandish it in a threatening way.' A gun shop in town thought it would be a good idea to advertise this new law by packing the downtown public park on the bay tomorrow with people, little kids, beach balls, frisbees, Glocks and Magnums. Now THAT'S the way to convince people to come to beautiful Traverse City, Michigan!"
We've become a blip on the map! Huzzah!
Apparently the 120+ people in attendance with their families felt safe enough. I couldn't have imagined a safer place in the city.
The letter closes with:
"That's it from the Wild West of TC. Don't forget to wear Kevlar if you're visiting us in town tomorrow."
I suppose that would be true if TC implemented laws similar to DC that essentially create "Criminal Empowerment Zones". Mr. Moore, there is no need to worry when law-abiding gun owners are involved. What you should fear is the systematic disempowerment of the American People.
We cordially invite Mr. Moore to attend any Second Amendment March activity as our guest. No Kevlar needed.

Our Mission
The mission of the Second Amendment March is to galvanize the courage and resolve of Americans; to petition our elected officials against establishing anti-gun legislation; and to remind America that the Second Amendment is necessary to maintain our right to self defense.
It is the one right that protects
all others.
We will accomplish our mission by a centralized, peaceful march in Washington DC, the United States Capitol, supported by satellite marches to State Capitols and other cities all across America.
