Tulsa rally / cookout to show city council what preemption means...

[okiebryan]

Previous thread about this issue

We are putting together an event in Tulsa to be held sometime this month. Time is short. Please come read this planning thread on OKOCA's forum (opencarry.org's Oklahoma forum) and comment either in that thread, or here if you don't want to sign up for a forum membership.

Please remember what the objectives are. We want to make some noise, show Tulsa what peaceful carry looks like, get some positive media attention, get some families together and enjoy a Spring day, and educate the city council on the meaning of preemption.

Many OSA people indicated they would attend. I'm holding you to that. Please let us know if you have access to a large trailer mounted cooker, or could help with food or drinks. OKOCA has some budget for this event, but it's not unlimited.

I still think VETERANS PARK, 1875 South Boulder Ave. is a good idea. From, the City of Tulsa "Special Events Parks .doc: Over 15 acres of large Open Space (soccer field), large Shelter, splash pad, playground. Restrooms and electric available.

I have the Oklahoma GOP Convention in OKC to attend on Saturday the 20th and the Badlands IDPA regional match on the 27th. If it's on the 6th or the 13th, I can (and will) attend. Preferrably mid-afternoon, but whatever.

Also, just a reminder, Wanenmachers is April 6-7.

It doesn't have to be Saturday. Would Sunday afternoon work better?

For me? Yes. However, I wouldn't want to disadvantage the turnout, city response or media impact just to serve myself.

Appleseed rifle clinic is the 20th/21st.

On a related note, this guy with a CCW was honored today for stopping a pitbull attack:

Good Samaritan honored for rescuing women from dog

Mike Harrell, man who saved church volunteers from pit bull attack, being honored as citizen hero

Good thing this didn't happen at a park, the Council might have sought for him to be charged with a crime.

You should invite Mike Harrell to this event as a guest of honor, that would really get the Council's goat.

I should have put this in 2nd amendment. Can someone move it?

Is the Tulsa city council doing something? I haven't read a copy of the Tulsa world since I moved to Norman.
