Sunday May 5th 2nd Amendment Gun Walk

[Rick Rowlands]

There were no community concerns save for the opinions of yourself and  couple of others.  Give it up, it wasn't a big deal and you aren't going to be able to make it into one.  All of us except the lefties and the hoodlums either carry already or are fine with those who do.

[iwasthere]

apparently the news of this event was not worth reporting for the community concerns on the nightly news. as for the people's caliber at this event rr you give them too much credit for them being upstanding citizens. this event, if it took place was no norman rockwell painting.

[Rick Rowlands]

So please give an update.  How many people were assaulted?  How many innocent bystanders did these people kill?  How many of these weapons fired?  Did they cause any altercations?  The answer of course is no and none, because the people who would participate in this type of demonstration are some of the finest upstanding citizens that we have here in this valley.

ditto, let us go home with your marbles because you cannot have it your way. i did pass through ytown dt on sunday ard 33o pm and i saw lynz horsewhipping foley with the mayor standing besides her nodding his approval while ytown council looked upon with disbelief because they know this could be one of them in the near future.

[iwasthere]

ditto

[Rick Rowlands]

I give up.  It is like trying to talk to the wall.

[iwasthere]

 foley could had inform lynz about this grp convening in ytown dt as a professional courtesy towards her office. foley still must be horsewhipped for failure of not showing professional courtesy towards lynz. 

[Rick Rowlands]

It would be inappropriate to contact Lyndz for this.  It would be just as inappropriate to contact Lyndz if myself and a group of my friends decided to walk around central square.  YOU DO NOT NEED TO ASK GOVERNMENT PERMISSION FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU DO IN LIFE!!!!! At least not yet.  But I am sure you are working on that!

[Why?Town]

Foley did nothing wrong and Lyndz was aware. People carry concealed weapons throughout the city, including downtown, every day, some do it illegally. This group will be doing so legally. Some of them will be carrying openly which is also legal although not an every day occurrence.

[iwasthere]

why?town no one is saying this grp is breaking the law. will this grp make sure that everyone in this grp show they have a conceal weapon permit to satisfy the ypd. they are doing more then walking or doing a pub crawl. they are carrying guns on their person in the mist of ytown downtown. foley should had told this grp contact lynz to inform her about their rally. foley still needs to be horsewhipped on this matter.

[Why?Town]

A group of people are going to be WALKING in downtown Youngstown. They intend to break no laws. They didn't need to ask permission from anyone, they simply let the police know what they are doing so they would know what is going on when they are inundated with calls from the hoplophobes.

[iwasthere]

i heard through the grapevine police chief rod foley gave permission for this rally without going through the proper channels in the cityhall. foley should be horsewhipped for his disregard for proper protocol in this matter.

[Lyndz]

Thanks iwasthere and whytown. More time would have been nice... demonstrations seem to slip by my desk, especially when its a demonstration / rally that requires NO paper work. In this case though, I would not have discouraged the walk, I just would have liked to let these businesses and residents know what was going on, because, like I said seeing a group of people / heck, just one person, walking around with a gun is a bit jarring...especially if your bringing your child to a birthday party or on your way to or from church.

[iwasthere]

lynz is the city events planner. this event could had been planned better by this grp by giving lynz more time to prepared the public of this even. it is no personal attack on lynz but i wonder what she could had done better to convince this grp to move their event to the covelli ctr far removed from the hrt of ytown dt. rr you call it busy body but i call it informing the public about any events that is non or hot topics that affects the ytown citizens. rr there are  people on both sides of this issue that are not too wrapped together in which i do not ard me esp in ytown dt.
