INGO Open Carry Trash Pick Up? (Lafayette Area)

[Kirk Freeman]

Anyone interested in an open carry trash pick up? They do them in New Hampshire, no reason we could not do them here.

We can flex our civil rights and help our community!

Lafayette? Nothing good ever comes from Lafayette.

But depending where an when, I may be up for something like this.

Moved this feeler into Carry Issues for the time being, per the Event Forum rules. Once a firm time and date is established feel free to start a new thread in the Events Forum or I can move this one over and re-title it.

As for organizing an OC trash pickup, I think it's an EXCELLENT idea! I hear a lot of talk about changing people's perception of OCers, and I think this would be a great way to do it.

It would be kinda cool to find some trash to pick up on property that is municipally-owned. In other words - we're benefitting property that we're now allowed to carry on under SB292.

Who owns the median of a highway - the state? I don't know and I don't have time to research it.

I'd be happy to make the trip, depending on the date. Is this a highway cleanup? If so, we may need to notify the govt that there will be people along the road.

Calls have been made, still lunch (Jimmy Johns).

Count me in assuming the time and date work for me. I'm at Purdue

If you work along the interstate or another state/US highway, there's a decent chance that you can get safety signage provided by the agency responsible for the maintenance of the stretch...IE INDOT.

Sounds like a great idea!

This needs to be done in Evansville instead of an open carry event at the Zoo

^^THIS^^ Turn the tables on them and open a seperate front away from all the controversy and on your own terms.

Wait just a darn minute. We went from a trash pick up to planting daisies? I sir, draw the line at daisy planting.

 

[geronimojoe85]

I'd make the trip depending on the date.
I'm always looking for a reason to go to Lafayette (dinner at 9 Irish Brothers).

 

[Bunnykid68]

It could even be very small groups of 2-4 people taking the time to clean up trash. Does not have to be 10-15 people at the same place.

 

[SideArmed]

Count me in, Pending scheduling. But I'm not planting flowers.

You guys should buy aerator spikes for your shoes too. Improve the ground below AND above. If anyone gives you flak, just tell 'em you're making drainage holes for the impending zombie apocalypse. Blood running in the streets would get messy. Wait... Do zombies have blood?

I suggest signage so people's attention is drawn to the fact that the workers are OCing. I also suggest a press release so it gets some coverage by the media... We can use all the good press we can get, considering the horrible way the press usually depicts us.

Also, depending on where and when, yes, I'd participate.

Blessings,
Bill
