It's a beautiful park. Very family friendly, and great for celebrations of various kinds. Just go and enjoy it. Keep'em concealed and have a good time. Or strap'em on and stay home. We've got bigger issues to solve.
I did get an email about the rally and like you said weather sucked. Received rally email Oct 12 with no date for rally. Just a link to map."OK2A
The group that started the furor, the Oklahoma Second Amendment Association, held a rally outside the Gathering Place earlier this month to advocate for more open gun rights inside the park.
Perhaps it was partly due to the dreary weather (and relative lack of parking spaces at the park) but the rally went off with more of a whimper than a bang.
Still, a few dozen firearm advocates stood in the rain and listened to OK2A president Don Spencer, and state Sen. Nathan Dahm, R-Broken Arrow, for a short time. Then a few supporters, including Tim Harpe — the man who was recorded being kicked out of the park for open carrying a firearm during the grand opening — walked unbothered through the Gathering Place."
What's sad is that only a couple dozen showed up. If that had been anti gun, thousands would have shown up, mostly paid to do so, but numbers matter.
I'm a member of OK2A but I sure didn't get an email or text to show up.
I'm contacting them to see why. BTW, where is the Oklahoma Rifle Association on this subject? They claim to be advocates of the 2A?
Interesting twist...
