Though I was stuck at work, but here is the article on the Fort Wayne demonstration.

Thanks Dan, awesome job!
I have a Facebook Live video of all the speakers beginning with most of Jonathan Lamb's speech (I didn't get settled in and shooting video until about 2:15 but I rolled until the end and worked my way right up to the steps at the base of the podium, off to speaker's right to stay out of the way).
I'm kind of a fb noob... Any way to get that video off of fb and into the rest of the web?
A drone?
Hovering above all those gun owners?
I brought mine but didn't get a change to get it out. The speakers were too engaging to walk away from even for 5 minutes. In retrospect I should have brought someone else with me to fly it and get some pics and videos.A drone?

There was a young black kid with a white jacket, braids and an American flag bandana that was floating around with a camcorder getting video of the crowd. He seemed to be focused on shots of the rifles and signs while ignoring the speakers. He also had a USA Job Corps bracelet on.
I have no idea if he was working on a video project for school or doing opposition research, He seemed to be there alone and stood out simply because he didn't look like a typical 2A supporter.
Whatever the reason, hopefully some of the messages of the speakers sunk in.
Again, great pics Dan. Your pics reminded of something from yesterday...
Who was the guy in front, 30-something, blonde, wearing suit and tie, 70s stache and sideburns, hair in a pony tail, looked like David Crosby circa 1972?
He introduced himself - and ... being in full MC mode - ... sadly, I don't remember.
A question - regarding the numbers and thought to do this better "next time" ... and I'm thinking out loud that needs to be like January ... at the latest; as all the new legislative seasons are kicking off.
For those at the FEB 2013 rally and this one - Which Seemed to have the larger crowd? and by how much?
I'm just curious on thoughts. I've done my estimating - and DAN a drone would be great. ... If I get some $$ saved maybe I'll have the PA and generator.
The other thing we need is a go - pro to video - just and specifically - any speaking type things with enough battery and memory for it.
FB live was fine, but I should have thought ahead and had my tripod for my phone ... (I have one that works great, a gift from the INSs-ers for my Chrony actually).
and I left the spare battery charger in my car. grrrr. ... we keep making these better, smarter. ... etc.
I am more than happy to be wrong!I stood behind this young man for most of the event. Very respectful. An older gentleman dropped his cane and the young man picked it up for him. I think he man have knocked someone’s class over that was sitting on the ground. He scooped right in, picked it up and said something to the owner? Someone was taught this young man well and should be proud of him.
