[Keith and stuff]

Hey cool. About how many people do you expect?

[enoch150]

No idea. I think they're expecting a decent turnout. I've been told Cabela's is a gun friendly place and the keynote speaker (President of the gun rights group CCDL) has an 8,500 member email list that they're hoping he uses. CCDL did endorse libertarian party candidates last year and they're hoping to strengthen that relationship with this event. Gun control is a big issue in Connecticut this year.
