The announcement at the end of that clip was priceless!

I wish I could have been there for that! :lol:

my wife and I heard you all the way over in the parking lot across the street. We were leaving and I asked her if she heard what was just announced. Sounds like she was trying to trip us up and handle the firearms. I'm sure if somebody did they could have spun it to make us look very bad.

I think that was the highlight of the day! Except maybe for watching BB62's ears being raped by the very outspoken anti lady, who had obviously just came from the beauty salon. :shock:

By the way BB62, I think we owe you an ear massage or something after that little exchange! :mrgreen:

Someone should speak with her news director. Reporters should only be reporting the news, not trying to stage photo-ops!

Well, sometimes you're just showing off ... like at the end of the video. :lol:

However, you said quite loudly what needed to be said. By that time, she had asked several people to expose their firearms, and it was clear that she was going to continue until she found someone naïve enough to do it.

Just an aging progressive losing her grip on utopian ideals. The impressive part of that segment was how calm BB62 was.

Getting to talk with anti's of this caliber (couldn't help myself) was a new experience for BB62. He was just soaking it all up.

and another PD editorial.. bet you can't guess what it says..
The IQ percentile of Oberlin, a liberal, learned place, seemingly dropped precipitously Monday night as firearm aficionados won another round in the battle of bullets over brains.

Oberlin City Council -- handcuffed by a 2004 Ohio Supreme Court ruling that overturned the city of Clyde's ban on guns in its public parks -- rescinded in a 4-3 vote a local ordinance that had prohibited weapons in Oberlin public parks.
