LAST CALL FOR BUS RESERVATIONS!

On the 19th of April, next Monday, there will be a 2nd Amendment March in Washington, DC, from 10 AM to 4 PM on the grounds of the Washington Monument (near Constitution and 14th St.). Details can be found at http://www.secondamendmentmarch.com .

Note that because of the very, very restrictive gun laws in Washington, D.C., this is an UNARMED march. No guns, ammunition, or even MAGAZINES are allowed in DC, so don't bring them onto the bus or into D.C. if you travel on your own.. Empty holsters are OK.

Speakers include: Larry Pratt (GOA), Kenn Blanchard (Black Man With A Gun), Suzanna Gratia Hupp (who lost her parents in the Luby's shooting), Richard Mack of Arizona, Michael Bane (host of Shooting Gallery), Philip Van Cleave, and others.

VCDL has booked three buses, and seating is limited.

To reserve your seating (if you haven't already) , send an email to Dennis O'Connor at:

Glad to see VCDL putting this together. Anyone interested in going - grab one of these buses!

If someone got on the bus in VB, do they pack a lunch or what? I dont know if I dont ask.

You can probably bring a backpack with some foodstuff in it - just be mindful of space limitations and the fact that others might be doing the same.
