PITTSBURGH - Hundreds of people gathered Monday in downtown Pittsburgh for an open carry rally in response to proposed gun control measures introduced by the City Council last month.
Part of Grant Street was blocked off, and precautions are in place as gun rights activists from around the region take part in the rally.
Open Carry Pennsylvania encouraged gun owners and supporters to demonstrate at noon outside the City-County Building on Grant Street.
The rally started with a minutelong moment of silence for the 11 people killed in the Tree of Life synagogue shooting.

Uh, in ‘shotgun’ Joe Biden terms: “One word. Facial recognition software working overtime.”
Maybe if we show up in masse just showing weapons, we won’t have to use them.
Nah.
5.56mm

We ‘know’ they probably are in place at other rallies
BUT
does th MSM ‘inform’ the public in such a matter over a BLM or ProAbortion or pussyhat brigade ‘rally’?
Both of those groups and the ACLU would be claiming discrimination
local gun control ordinances are illegal under current Pennsylvania state law ...
All those guns and not a single person was shot.
Imagine that.
Facial recognition software - you said it bro!
Call me timid but I would show up at that rally with an AirSoft replica rather than a live weapon.
I have CCW but I am leery about open carry - it makes the bearer a target. Better to keep the bad guys guessing about who’s packing & who isn’t.
Nice to see it’s in Pittsburgh. The execrable James Carvile once described Pennsylvania as `Alabama sandwiched in between Pittsburgh and Philadelphia’.
From Pennsylvania’s Constitution:
Section 21 The right to bear arms:
The right of citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the State shall not be questioned.
Nobody ‘needs’ to know ‘is I is or is I ain’t’.
They don’t need to know cuz they already know who you be.
That’s true when the cop runs your license plate, but is there now a facial recognition database?
If it’s at the Federal level, then we have de facto registration. Who has a CCW without owning a firearm?
Well we are on FReerepublic so, yup.
There’s probably a facial recognition software program at the Federal level that scans state and federal databases even if there is not one central Federal photo ID database.
” Well we are on FReerepublic so, yup.”
We’re in good company.
Love It!
So those who are pushing for a national identity card (”Your papers, please”) needn’t bother. Your driver’s license will suffice once the cop runs it.
And then we have all those illegals who can’t wait to get their paws on their very own driver’s license.
Geez, it’s been forty years since NASA said satellite imaging was already good enough to look down from orbit and tell how long it’s been since you last shaved.
I am so disappointed in my local news team. Twice they said protesters with open carry permits. Of course, there is no such thing. We have concealed carry permits. Not open carry permits!
I wonder how the gov would act if they called a concealed carry rally.
Don’t necessarily show up armed. See who gets searched.
