Full tank of gas before I enter DC metro, water, pee bottle, umbrella, protein bars, layered clothing, real food & extra socks and dry clothes left in car, money (loose change & singles), credit card, WHAT ELSE?

Where to park, what time does it start, where is the assembly point....

Can someone EXPERIENCE in this type of event sticky a survival guide?

Thank you in advance.

Take the Metro into DC from VA. Or stay in DC in a hotel that has underground parking. Don't leave your car on the streets of DC.

PArking is scarce enough in DC as it is. DCPW tickets with impunity and will do so during the rally. Even ticketing legally parked vehicles, especially with out-of-state tags.

Also know that while I am a staunch 2A supporter, DC MPD will screw you 8 ways to Sunday if you are caught with so much as an empty mag which holds more than 10 rounds.

You will find almost all of the hotels will be friendly. They are hurting big time and know that MAGA presents no issues - trashed hotel rooms to start with, but are good tippers, leave the place cleaner than they found it, and do not create problems. This will be especially true of foreign-born service workers. The dindu class may not be so welcoming.

DC can be accessed by crossing several bridges from VA. I recommend staying close to one of the Metro stops and taking the Metro into DC. Anything in VA is safe. VA is 2A friendly, despite the efforts of Gov. Coonman.

Watch the weather. Jan could be a pleasant 45 degree day, or it could be 20 degrees with a 20 kt wind.

I carry mace in my car 24/7. Can I bring my mace (4oz. bottle) with me to the march? Is it legal to carry there?

Got this from DC Metro Site: It is legal to possess self-defense sprays in the District of Columbia, such as mace or pepper spray.

However, under D.C. Official Code § 7-2502.12, the only legal types of self-defense sprays are “a mixture of a lacrimator including chloroacetophenone, alphacloroacetophenone, phenylchloromethylketone, orthochloriobenazaim-alononitrile or oleoresin capsicum.” Additionally, the self-defense spray must be propelled from an aerosol container, labeled with clearly written instructions for use, and dated with its anticipated useful life. A person may use a self-defense spray only as reasonable force to defend themselves or their property and only if the self-defense sprays meets the requirements above.

A person 18 years or older may possess a stun gun in the District of Columbia; it may only be used to protect themselves or their property. No one other than a law enforcement officer is allowed to possess a stun gun in a building or office occupied by the District of Columbia government, a penal institution, secure juvenile residential facility, a halfway house, any building that is occupied by a children’s facility, preschool, elementary or secondary school, any building or grounds in which the owner or occupant clearly posts forbidding the carrying of a stun gun.

A business who sells more than five stun guns in a 12-month period in the District of Columbia, shall obtain a stun gun endorsement on their basic business license from the Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs.

For further information, please visit the MPD Firearms Registration Section, 300 Indiana Avenue, NW, Room 3058, Washington, DC, 20001 or contact them on (202) 727-4275

You're welcome! Stay safe. Since you are going alone you may want to contact the DC pede on here...at least you would have a safe location to get to. He just made a post I'll try to find it.

Pepper spray (OC) and mace is legal in DC. So are stun guns. I advise checking local laws, but I live here and am pretty confident of this.

I'm looking at this map: https://arnoldmok.files.wordpress.com/2013/09/washington-dc-metro-map.jpg

What end of line is the safest neighborhood to use?

Stay away from the southeast quadrant, fren.

There are websites where you can look up crime rates by county or zip code. Here’s one https://spotcrime.com/dc/washington

This is good info to know. I'll save this site for the future when I vacation in DC.

I will exit the area before it gets dark. I hope the rally starts early.

Cash, id, no wallet. If u bring a credit card, bring the lowest max amount of card (what i am getting at is be prepared to be robbed, give the criminal a throwaway wallet if u are separated from maga ppl) Be prepared with a full tank of gas, plus a gas can (empty should be fine). First aid kits, antifa will be there. Goggles in ur pocket when these antifa fags start throwing shit so u can put something over ur eyes. Pee bottle not really required if ur a dude. Just piss like the rest of us dogs on an expensive car lol. If ur a female thats different. The rest u kinda stated, just minor tweaks.

Get a couple pairs of swim goggles. They make a tight seal around your eyes.

Also, I'll need a backpack or over the shoulder bag.
