Also, I suspect this branch of the Metropolitan Library System is marked as "No Weapons". I know that is the case with other branches.
I plan on going, as well as some of the other liberty-minded people. I've been to enough Lankford meetings and watched his votes on legislation to know that he is pure RINO. He fully supports indefinite detainment of American citizens under the NDAA, the Patriot Act, which destroyed the 4th Amendment, FISA and other morsels. He will not answer any questions on indefinite detainment, warrantless searches, DHS ammo purchases and just about anything else that guts the Constitution.
He does enjoy being praised and told how wonderful he is, so if you want an audience with James Lankford, tell him how great he is as a Congressman, just don't ever attend a Lankford town meeting with the thought of asking anything more than he wants asked.

PLEASE - update us here how this goes. I'm in Chicago or I would attend myself!
Good reminder.
Do tell, more on what to expect. Never been to one before.
Rep. James Lankford only takes written questions drawn from a little red bucket. After he answers the question, he draws another. This ensures that follow-up discussion on any given topic can be avoided and when he finishes his answer, the topic can be changed.
Representative Lankford told the audience that he supports the Second Amendment rights of hunters, sportsmen and people who desire self-defense. Questioners prefaced their questions with the REAL reason the Founding Fathers gave us the Second Amendment was as a safeguard against tyranny, but the theme remained the Second Amendment is to hunt, sport shooting and self-defense against a burglar.
Rep. Lankford was unclear and squishy on gun control and I strongly believe that Representative James Lankford could easily support gun registration, restrictions on semi-automatic rifles and handguns, normal-capacity magazines and other equipment that is not specifically for hunting, sporting and self-defense. James Lankford has already voted in favor of indefinite detainment of citizens without trial under NDAA, the Patriot Act, FISA, Anti-Tresspass and a myriad of other laws handy for a tyranny.

Yeah. On the surface his answers were decent, but definitely from perfect. He did stop short of affirming the 2nd as a safeguard, as you said. I think he definitely could be swayed into "compromising" on some of the restrictions being proposed.
That's why I stayed after to eavesdrop in on others' questions and talk to him myself. I didn't get to push the issue much further but hey, at least it was another voice from our side.
Like most, he's a politician, so I think he's an ally as long as we continue to make sure he knows it's politically beneficial to him to be on our side and detrimental to not be. He's not the guy that's going to sign on to DiFi and McCarthy wanting to round 'em all up, but he is the kind that might fall for a mag ban or something. He's exactly the kind of guy that needs constant contact and reinforcement from us.
