Saturday October 21st - is also the Glendale Library Gun Check Protest. This has been building up to a very big confrontation with the governments of each city in the valley and is certain to have press coverage. The press coverage will likely be in the morning and maybe throughout the day. The Glendale government isn't sure what to do but they are not taking it well. This Tuesday some gunnies are meeting with the Glendale Police. I refused to for several reasons; waste of time - better that their imaginations run wild a little - and my claim that I can't speak for independent gun owners anyway (just promote the shit out of the day and time they need to visit the library with their firearm with a video camera :) So we need to plan on going there first. The Glendale Libraries open at 9am and close at 5pm on Saturdays and they know that we are coming. The librarians are instructed to ask that the visitor leave the firearm in their car or they will have the Police come and secure it for them at the police station where the gun owner must then go and get it back themselves when they wish to have their (now inpected and recorded) firearm back. The plan is that many firearm owners are to request that the police come to check their firearm to demonstrate the waste of time resources and rights. This will continue to be a regular thing over the period between now and until the legislature forces compliance with the law that requires the libraries and all other public buildings to secure the firearm (we'll be finding other public buildings that are open on Saturday also). If no press in the morning then we'll be back after the SRP picnic.
Saturday October 21st - 6pm till 9pm will be the Tempe Country Harvest Buffet dinner where L. Neil Smith will be the featured speaker. Seating capacity is about 125. All of the fliers for the Glendale :ibrary event will promote this event also. Lots of gunnies in Arizona would love to hear him speak about "Why is it Always About Guns"?
(this is mainly a libertarian thing but its also about guns. l. neil smith is on the arizona libertarian ballot for president, but in the other 48 states harry browne is the libertarian canidate for president, penn state has no libertarian canidate for president on its ballot)
