The first difference is they know you are coming, why you are coming, and that you oppose their very existence. A public demonstration is a whole other thing.

If you were going to walk past the building on any other day and stay on the sidewalk as you proceeded to your destination I would be pretty agnostic about your carrying, openly or otherwise.

Incidentally, I asked him about other Federal facilities, specifically the Post Office and the Forest Service situation discussed earlier and he recommend to not even try it. It is not a small deal. In the minds of the people employed by the Federal Government, the only people who can carry on Federal Property are cops and Federal officials authorized to do so.

I'm not saying it is right or wrong, but the people with badges and powers of arrest will turn you into a test case and it will not be a fun or cheap ride.

Well, if I remember right, we got pretty close to the building during the last End the Fed rally. I did not realize their property actually fell under federal jursidiction, and I have absolutely no desire to become a test case.

I'm glad I posted up beforehand....ending up in the Federal Pen would have made for a very bad day.

I'm sure we could get enough money together to send you flowers.

Gee....thanks

The rally was great; there were maybe 100 to 200 there this time. Rand Paul, who's Ron Paul's son, made an appearance.

We never left the plaza and sidewalk in front of the Federal Reserve building, which is MN land, and I'm thinking OC would have been fine.
