There were very few rifles, but I assure you a good number of people were concealing pistols. Its not as if there were plans to storm the Capitol Building and there has been no violence at the last 2 rallies so going with arms at the ready wasn't seen as necessary. Just wait for the 2A rally June 8th, you'll see a ton of guns there.
I've went back and forth about this myself. Generally speaking, I live in an open carry state but got my CC license because I'd prefer to not broadcast the fact that I'm armed. Something about not letting your enemies know what your capable of/element of surprise etc. etc. Although I guess in this case it's more about showing tyrants how far you're willing to go. Still, I prefer to conceal. Kinda hard to do w/ a rifle, though haha
That rally is planned for the 8th of June. There is a annual lobby day held each year around May. since the lock down. it's been pushed back. I'm trying to figure out if it's going to be a lobby day or a open carry rally.
I don't see a lot of people open carrying. What gives?
Hence, free people are not open carrying ...

You carry guns so that there won't be violence. It's a preventative measure.
This is PA, not TX. It's pretty 'taboo' to open carry here. Concealed sure, but the law does not mention that you can't open carry.

For your own security, and for defense of the state should an insurrection spontaneously occur.
I wear a suit and tie and carry a hunting rifle so that people get comfortable seeing guns at rallies. (I'm in WA)
