My wife and I are driving over to Austin for this event tomorrow. See y'all there! :hurry:
I wish there was a way to find the other TexasCHLforumers. . .

I'm hitching a ride from Fort Worth with Pucker and GeekWagon. Thankfully I live close enough to the freeway that they'll slow down and give me three shot to jump in before they get back up to full speed. My best chance is in front of Cabela's. . . if the light is red or they start pondering checking the early morning ammo supplies. . .

Relevant quote from Churchill:
If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.
If you're on the fence about coming tomorrow, please reconsider and show up. A huge turnout for this thing sends a very clear message about how important our gun rights are to us. A low turnout sends a less positive message about what priority it holds.

I'd rather do some fighting in the "no pain, suffering, or blood loss required" period. How about yall?

Usually that's me, tomorrow I'm probably going to wear a black T-Shirt with this on the front:

My son came home from school and the first thing he asked was "Are we still going to the capital tomorrow?" Yes sir we are! He said he wants on the microphone...we'll see about that.

See you all tomorrow! :patriot:

I am already in Austin in my hotel room with the Wife and my 11 year old son. I plan on this being a history lesson for my son on how to peacefully exercise our first amendment right in support of the second amendment right. I am looking forward to tomorrow and hopefully a huge crowd.

Look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow.

I decided to forgoe the sign in favor of my Canon Rebel so I can upload some pictures of the hopefully large and respectful crowd in case the media tries to trivialize the size or quality of the event.

I'll be wearing black dress shoes, jeans, and a black button up shirt. Mid 20s, 6 foot tall, dark short hair and beard. I'll try to introduce myself to anyone I see with a texaschlforum sign. Looking forward to a good event. :patriot:
