I posted this in another area on the forum:

You can contact Jason Wilbur with any questions or concerns: jwilbur19866@yahoo.com
I'm attaching the flyer that Jason emailed me and hopefully we can spread the word and get as many people as possible to attend.
Not to be a smarta$$ but dont they know how to spell "Baton Rouge" ?
Look at the flyer.
Will this be a gun free event?
A permit was required and granted for this event from the city of Baton Rouge and the State of Louisiana. Carry = no go.

No individual to whom a concealed handgun permit is issued may carry such concealed handgun into the private residence of another without first receiving the consent of that person.
What about open carry?
Good question! You would have to read the statute or call LOCAL; but if I had to guess, I would bet that the Capital Police would consider it uncomfortable.
Is open carry going to be allowed at the rally? Being the Capitol is a gun free zone I'm also not sure of the legality there.
Unfortunately it is I'm double checking with the BRPD but it was the trade off. Not happy about it but we need a location by the Capitol and not one of the parks they wanted to put us in. Saturday are voice and pens will be our weapons
Got a reply from the organizer of the event.
