Davey Posted March 11, 2011 at 04:53 AM Posted March 11, 2011 at 04:53 AM I was just about to post a comment about that estimate. Seemed awfully low.
Molly B. Posted March 11, 2011 at 04:54 AM Author Posted March 11, 2011 at 04:54 AM Good coverage here on ABC
Molly B. Posted March 11, 2011 at 04:57 AM Author Posted March 11, 2011 at 04:57 AM I was just about to post a comment about that estimate. Seemed awfully low.LOL - that's good compared to the year they actually said we had "dozens" in attendance.It's laughable but I do believe it's a blatant attempt to diminish the obvious success of the event.
Davey Posted March 11, 2011 at 05:10 AM Posted March 11, 2011 at 05:10 AM Good coverage here on ABC The first thing they show is the sign that says "BUY GUNS". Ugh. That's not helping. Makes us look like guniacs. Why not the "Dial 911 and pray sign". That would have been better. Other than that there didn't seem to be any voices for the antis which is good.
markthesignguy Posted March 11, 2011 at 07:00 AM Posted March 11, 2011 at 07:00 AM That sign didn't do us any good at all, anybody know who brought it, and their pedigree? A crypto - anti?? Detractor in our midst? A phlager phlake? edit - see my new thread....
Lou Posted March 11, 2011 at 01:11 PM Posted March 11, 2011 at 01:11 PM Good coverage here on ABC Hey I made the last 3 seconds.
mauser98 Posted March 11, 2011 at 01:36 PM Posted March 11, 2011 at 01:36 PM Here is an article on IGOLD with a poll on FOID card privacy from the Peoria Journal Star this morning. http://www.pjstar.com/news/x904837296/Gun-owners-rally-for-rights-at-Illinois-Capitol

BadWaterBill Posted March 11, 2011 at 01:50 PM Posted March 11, 2011 at 01:50 PM To bad Ms D Jackson did not go to school on a regular basis. Several HUNDRED were in attendance. First her teachers AND parents never taught her to tell the truth. She would have flunked ANY math class I went to. How many seats in a row? How many rows in a section? How many sections in the building? And this type of journalistic ineptness gets her a job on TV in front of a camera?
Smittyp83 Posted March 11, 2011 at 02:23 PM Posted March 11, 2011 at 02:23 PM Here's what I just emailed the editor of the Daily Herald: Wow. Approximately 7,000 legal Illinois gun owners marched on Springfield yesterday to lobby for their 2nd Amendment rights, and to push for legislation to keep FOID information private, and all the Daily Herald has is a lukewarm, biased AP story. Relying on the AP to cover happenings in our own home state? The same AP who is pushing to have the FOID information released? This is yet another reason why I cancelled my print subscription. Rgds,
eric2281 Posted March 11, 2011 at 02:47 PM Posted March 11, 2011 at 02:47 PM Good coverage here on ABC Hey I made the last 3 seconds. My wife & I just watched it and at the end, we both said, "Hey, there's Lou!"
Lou Posted March 11, 2011 at 03:08 PM Posted March 11, 2011 at 03:08 PM Yup, and Kenny and Mrs. Kenny were in the middle of the video in post #1
Lou Posted March 11, 2011 at 03:11 PM Posted March 11, 2011 at 03:11 PM Well I just went through the entire Chicago Tribune {which advocated the repeal of the Second Amendment right after Heller} and there was not one word about IGOLD. They did have a front page story about about price fixing on bagged ice.
Drylok Posted March 11, 2011 at 03:26 PM Posted March 11, 2011 at 03:26 PM Ya who has the signs that say "Buy Guns" and "I'm not here to beg for a permission slip" please take them outside and set them on fire. Thank you
sctman800 Posted March 11, 2011 at 03:26 PM Posted March 11, 2011 at 03:26 PM The NEWS-GAZETTE in Champaign did absoutley s**t reporting once again. I tried to find something to link to on their web site but could find nothing there. The front page story is by AP writer Don Babwin and makes no mention whatsoever of RTC. The entire article is about the FOID card debate. Is this the same AP writewr that requested the FOID card release? It was announced at IGOLD that one of the people doing interviews at the Prarie Center was the person who had requested the release and that he was invited to speak but refused. As if that wasn't enough the editorial page which I also couldn't find online deals with the FOID card release of names. We have now "started whining that thugs would invade their homes." Nice job N-G. Jim.
Jeffrey Posted March 11, 2011 at 03:28 PM Posted March 11, 2011 at 03:28 PM I watched the 9:00 Fox news last night hoping to see something. Instead they chose to mention that hundreds were rallying in Indiana.
Chris Posted March 11, 2011 at 07:03 PM Posted March 11, 2011 at 07:03 PM Sounds none of the Chicago Stations will be putting their stuff on the web. Did anyone happen to DVR it so we can get a hold of that video?

Molly B. Posted March 11, 2011 at 09:03 PM Author Posted March 11, 2011 at 09:03 PM Springfield Journal Register - quite lengthy article with great quotes from those in attendance!
ilphil Posted March 11, 2011 at 09:08 PM Posted March 11, 2011 at 09:08 PM Interesting that the news anchorman said there were thousands, but the reporter said hundreds.Sounds to me like ONE of them has a bias against us...

What is the official Illinois Carry tally of the number in attendance? How many packets were given out at the convention center?
