Early reports from Columbus are that we had the second-highest ‘Defense’ Walk attendance to date, as over 120 OFCC supporters openly carried their firearms around the State Capitol today (plus probably 10-15 children who were, of course, not armed).
Political insiders know it is hard to get conservatives to hold any type of rally. And this was a very unique rally. Why?
Today’s ‘Defense’ Walk was in the middle of the week, in the middle of the day, and in the middle of the state. To top it all off, we asked supporters to show up carrying a firearm.
