Might be worth joining a militia in your area to be prepared for later and be with people who know what they're doing and aren't just larpers. This journey to DC will definitely be a hodgepodge. Lots of women going on their own as well. Not sure the militia will be into this at the moment - who knows? The uncertainty used to be scary to me - even a couple of days ago - heck probably for a few minutes each night. But the excitement is growing as I see strangers coming together to journey cross-country to join in frustration, anger, support, and wtf? Seriously, the WTF element of this time period is HUGE.
