Firearms Open Carry Litter Cleanup And Friendly Gathering

ICarry.org

Beloit, Illinois --(AmmoLand.com)- As you know, we are having an “Open Carry” event in Beloit this Sunday, March 21st!!

This event is for everyone from Illinois and Wisconsin to get a chance to meet one another, exercise their rights, and help the community out by cleaning up trash along Riverside Drive and Armstrong-Eddy Park.

One of our members, Todd, contacted the local media – Beloit Daily News – and they are going to publish a story before the event!! What better way to promote the event than to have a story not only after the event but before as well! The reporter wanted a member in Beloit, so we contacted them all and another member, Mildred, answered the call and will be having her photograph taken tomorrow for the story.

Thanks to everyone getting involved to make this event a huge success. I can’t wait to see everyone there! Even if the weather is not as good as it has been the past few days, we’ll still be out showing our numbers. I hope to see you there with us. There should be a lot of people we can help educate and spread the word.

Litter cleanup along Riverside Rd (we will stay outside of school zones and mark them off). We will also be picking up litter in the park and depending on time possibly sticks/leaves. If you can bring a rake, you should do so just-in-case. Local police have been very friendly and helpful and have worked with us to ensure a fun and safe event for everyone. The township has also given us the OK on the road/park cleanup and is providing reflective vests/bags/etc.

Bring the whole family and come out for a fun event! Beloit is right on the IL/WI border just north of Rockford and is a very short drive for anyone in northern Illinois!! Don’t miss out on the first major event of Illinois and Wisconsin firearms owners working together to better our communities.

Open carry is highly encouraged but not required of course. If you’ve never open carried, this is a perfect chance to give it a try. It’s a lot of fun!!! Any questions you have can be answered in our forum http://www.icarry.org/forum-28.html

Open Carry Solidarity Event In WI A Huge Success

Wisconsin --(AmmoLand.com)-The unbelievably-successful open carry event in Wisconsin over the weekend didn’t make it out in our email broadcast. We’re not going to make that mistake twice!

“State Police Interaction” under favorites in our youtube channel is what sparked this event. An ordinary open carry advocate was harassed and troubled while he finished his lunch at a Chinese restaurant by state troopers. They instigated and created a problem where none existed. They treated this man differently only because he was openly carrying a pistol on his side, as the law fully allows in Wisconsin.

Check out the following to see the video from the event.

How did the community respond? Politely, proudly, perfectly! At least 50 people gathered in three locations: Starbucks, the State Police headquarters in Waukesha (where we stood on the steps to the front door, fully armed in plain sight!), and the Chinese restaurant where the harassment occurred. The restaurant owners were so happy to have us on a Sunday. They even gave us all free ice cream!!

Thank you to everyone who went, and especially to Wisconsin Carry, Inc. who helped volunteers organize and promote the event. Wisconsin Carry, Inc. has shown that they are serious about Right to Carry and serious about supporting gun owners who exercise their rights. They have also reached out to ICarry.org in friendship and camaraderie to work together and keep pushing open carry in order to remove restrictions on concealed carry in Wisconsin!!!

As a matter of fact, even though I live in Illinois, I just joined Wisconsin Carry! You see, many of us who live in northern Illinois will be traveling frequently to open carry events in Wisconsin to give our brothers and sisters to the north our support. I’m sure we will see that support reciprocated. This has already begun, and it will turn into something that’s not been seen anywhere else in the nation. Why? We’re the last two states without concealed carry, so we’re in this together and ICarry.org is leading this tag-team effort!!! If you live in Wisconsin, you should really check Wisconsin Carry, Inc. out at: www.wisconsincarry.org
