Would we fall under the category of a political group? We're not dedicated to any party, and as far as I know, none of us are running for office.

We are not considered a political group because we are not dedicated to any one specific political group as a whole.

I just checked the long-range forecast for Eagle and it says a high of 88 and, "Some sun, warm and very humid". Better bring a hat and plenty of water....
How about if we all meet and organize at Ottawa park, and then park along the road (at least 3 feet from the pavement when parking on the highway) at our respective starting points. If we work toward the south first on the East side of the road and then north on the West side(Groups shall work on only one side of the road at a time. ), our sidearms will always be visible from the road, unless you are a lefty.
In case anyone was worried about carrying so close to a roadway, the Wisconsin Statutes are on our side:
"167.31Safe use and transportation of firearms and bows.
(2) PROHIBITIONS; MOTORBOATS AND VEHICLES; HIGHWAYS AND
ROADWAYS.
(b) Except as provided in sub. (4), no person may place, pos-
sess or transport a firearm, bow or crossbow in or on a vehicle,
unless the firearm is unloaded and encased or unless the bow or
crossbow is unstrung or is enclosed in a carrying case.
(c) Except as provided in sub. (4), no person may load or dis-
charge a firearm or shoot a bolt or an arrow from a bow or cross-
bow in or from a vehicle.
(d) Except as provided in sub. (4) (a), (bg), (cg), (e), and (g),
no person may discharge a firearm or shoot a bolt or an arrow from
a bow or crossbow from or across a highway or within 50 feet of
the center of a roadway.
(4) EXCEPTIONS. (f) Subsection (2) (d) does not prohibit a person from possess-
ing a loaded firearm within 50 feet of the center of a roadway if
the person does not violate sub. (2) (b) or (c)." 
I'm looking forward to meeting you all and spending an enjoyable day exercising our Second Amendment Rights!

| Sounds like a plan to me. The forcast is far enough out that it very likely will change. I'm an amature meterologist and I say it'll be sunny and 70. Do we have any idea how many people will be showing up for this yet?

Perhaps somebody could explain to me why this thread was moved with no forwarding address given. Wisconsin forum members who might have been interested in participating but hadn't yet posted will have no idea where to find this thread. 
I will make a posting in the original forum site where to find us.

The thread is posted to the main page of OCDO - very obvious, you should be checking this daily - alternatively, go to fourms and click to see most recent - it will be at top.
But there is a link in the WI forum as well - it just is not stickied.

Yes Sir, I'm sure that to someone such as yourself who has been on the OC Forum for over three years that it is, "very obvious"; but to someone new to the group it is very obscure and unintuitive. Since I have a life and don't have time to read hundreds of posts, I limited myself to the Wisconsin discussion because that is my area of interest.
Now you say I "should be checking this[the main page] daily"? Not gonna happen. Is it that big a deal to sticky a link to a thread that has been moved? For that matter, why move it at all?
Puzzled in Wisconsin....

Please, everyone, check the main page of OpenCarry.org every day - that url again is, OpenCarry.org - you will see all the hot links - there will just be a few. The purpose of moving hot topics to the main page is to ensure everybody sees them including the press which checks that page often.
Unfortunately when a thread is moved to hot topics, the residual thread link in a state forum loses it's stickiness - that's the software we have to deal with. Thanks for your cooperation and help in making our main page the de facto Drudge Report of the open carry movement.

Yep, that main page is how I found out about the Greenfield meeting. It helps find the big new stuff fast. Might I add, it also looks like us in Wisconsin have just about taken it over! Gun rights are comming back to Wisconsin!

My wife and I will be there with bells on. Well, with guns on.
Do we have a headcount?

Looks like we have about 10 confirmed for the pickup as of now and counting. If anyone else plans on showing that hasn't PMed me yet, please do so. I'll try to get extra supplies for any last minute people that show up.

I went back over the entire thread and a lot of people had comments and suggestions, but the following are the only ones who actually committed:- Parabellum
- Clint Starin
- NC-Tastic please email mr.tastic at yahoo dot com
- skamp
- FLR72
- Fast Ed
- Johnny Stiletto
- WI Patriot
- BJA
- AaronS
- pvtschultz
- davegran
- GlocksRfun
- Pezhead992
- Sajuuk
- Sajuuk's wife
- ROOK WI
So there must be six people who haven't PM'd Johnny Stiletto .
How about it, anybody else out there want to help put Opencarry in the public eye? We've got 4.6 miles of roadway to clean up.
Have we contacted any members of the press yet?

Stumbled upon this by accident...
I have PM'd Stiletto on/for details - count me in, rain or shine.
No problem here getting soaked to the bone for something believed in.
