Title: Open carry litter pickup Manchester May 3 (calendar entry)
Post by: Dave Ridley on April 30, 2008, 07:47 PM NHFT
Moving this event to May 3, was originally scheduled for later but now there is a rain issue with the original date.

I'm scheduling tentatively another open carry litter pickup for Saturday May 3.
2:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.
Around the 400 block of Central
In Manchester

I may invite the media this time so RSVP on this thread would be appreciated... I wont invite them unless I have a sense we're looking at respectable turnout.

Date will change if it rains, but the forecast is for cloudy on saturday.

I should be there.  Just means I need to hit the range in the morning.

Pacifists who are interested:

I've got realistic looking airsoft pistols for the appearance of open carry, without any of the nasty possibility of you hurting anyone.

Dave, be sure to announce this event at the MVP meeting and maybe recruit a few people to join you on Central St.

does anyone have a glock-19-friendly holster i could borrow?  i'd need to pick it up before 5 today.   I appear to have left mine in seabrook.

i could give it back to you for use tomorrow if need be , but i do need it tonight for a picture.

Apparently Wikipedia has an article on open carry, so I added a note about this in the relevant section (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Carry#Open_carry_encounters).

Is the "400 block of central" a street? It would be helpful if you just posted a street number for people to meet you at. I do not know Manchester well so I prefer a definite address.

That would be the area where Central intersects with Wilson.

The follow up Union Leader article is up.

I am somewhat disappointed by the tone, however. There's a whiff of negativity in it I don't care for.
