AMMOLAND.COM RTC’ers and I found time to do a little impromptu “min-RTC” or “dry

run” at Little Five Points, Atlanta, the site for the upcoming 30 October
Impromptu Restore The rally.
Constitution Pistols Only Dry This was put together by phone with literally two hours notice, and the
purpose was simply to begin preparing for the eventual rally that will be
Run larger in size and include slung rifles and more signage.
AUG 31, 2010 07:52P.M.
As the above picture shows, the Little Five Points location has a lot of
Impromptu Restore The Constitution Pistols Only Dry Run foot traffic with what could be described as a “walking street.”
We did all this with no demonstration permit, and it’s actually quite
common for folks to set up shop right there on the street with banners,
tables, flyers, etc.
It’s not common to do so while open carrying.
In fact, carrying openly at “public gatherings” to include political rallies

was illegal here in Georgia up until a month or so ago.
One of the local cops (I’m assuming from the mini-precinct) came out
and talked to us for a bit, as did a few local civilians. All in all,
interactions were positive and beneficial. Between now and October
30th, the plan is to do at least one more mini-RTC at Little Five Points,
only with slung rifles. IMO, it’s best to wade into these things rather than
dive right in.
Impromptu Restore The Constitution Pistols Only Dry Run

So it’s not too difficult or complicated, is it? Research the laws, pick a
spot, call a few friends, do a dry run, build toward a bigger gathering.
And if you’re in the Atlanta area, you now know that this can be done
safely and without incident at Little Five. No reason not to come out the
30th.
