Oath Keepers
Kentucky --(Ammoland.com)- Oath Keepers Founder Stewart Rhodes and Sheriff Richard Mack (who is on our National Board of Directors) will both be speaking at this open carry event at the Kentucky State Capitol, in Frankfort this next Saturday, October 8, 2011.
This march is organized by Oath Keepers founding member Rex Bartley, who also organized last year’s march. This is an important event. So far as we know, this is the only open carry rally (including open carry of rifles) at a state capitol. Please turn out to stand with the strong patriots of Kentucky as they exercise their right to bear arms.
SPECIAL OATH KEEPERS MEETING THAT MORNING, BEFORE THE MARCH
The march kicks off at 1pm, but there will also be a special Oath Keepers breakfast and meeting starting at 8am that same morning, in Frankfort. That meeting is expected to last until noon, with presentations from both national and state Oath Keepers leadership and a questions and answers period. At least four Oath Keepers state chapter presidents will be on hand from nearby states. Come get to know both the leadership and other members. Location for breakfast is still not set, but we will post it within the next few days.
From the organizer:
Come and spend the afternoon with like minded, freedom loving Patriots. We will feature numerous pro-Second Amendment speakers, candidates for state and national office, and current office holders. Hear about the latest news concerning your right to keep and bear arms and what you can do to protect and promote that right.
THIS IS AN OPEN CARRY EVENT
(Yes, it is legal to carry on Capital grounds.)
ADMISSION IS FREE. THIS IS A FAMILY FRIENDLY GATHERING.

MESSAGE FROM STEWART RHODES:
This is a critically important event to attend. If you are within driving distance, please come. As with last year, this is an open carry event, and slung rifles and holstered pistols are welcome. It is important that we exercise those liberty muscles – use it or lose it! Oath Keepers was at last year’s event, and one of our local organizers conducted an oath renewal ceremony. Sheriff Mack and I both agree that this is such an important event that we need to be there this year. The good folks at Second Amendment March are paying our travel expenses, and they have our thanks.
Please join us for this important event. As our nation faces ever greater challenges, it is critical that we who are willing to defend liberty come together in brotherhood. See you there!
For the Republic, Stewart RhodesAbout:
