Dropping in for Tea On a Brick and Mortar Operation

Newbius takes time off from the DC Tea Party to visit the Brady HQ. [More]

And all this time I just sort of assumed their address went to a PO box.

They used to be on Eye Street, in the DC phone book. That always sounded vaguely eerie to me.
Small office, huh? Probably all they need. Reminds me of the puppeteers who have five dummies tied to a long pole on each side of them so they look like the Rockettes.

here's what struck me and left a comment:

here's something you might be inclined to comment on as regards your Brady Campaign experience.

That is, that they don't believe themselves. No guns in DC, yet, despite Heller. No guns allowed in their offices, I am sure. But they have security guards/concierges to keep them safe.

One would have thought where they are in complete control of the environment and in a larger surrounding environment exactly in step with their recommended policies that they claim will make us all safer, they would have enough faith in their position to not need hired security.

What happened? Does good sense infect them in that one address but eludes them elsewhere or is it just their unintended statement of their sense of comparable worth between themselves and "ordinary" citizens? I suspect the latter.

OK, so you had to show official id when you signed in, probably had to let the concierge/janitor examine your pkgs or briefcase and were escorted to/fro the sanctum sanctorum...sounds like they're skeered of something in there ;)

David,

Thanks again for the link.

Yes, they are on "eye" (I) Street. It is common practice for DC businesses to list themselves this way to minimize confusion. In this case, "eye" street is between H and J.

As I have stated on my own blog, I have given my word that I would not discuss their security practices in detail, in public, any further. I intend to honor that pledge. Since I believe that ultimately we will win this one, I am going to stand on principle.

Some food for thought: "Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor."
Romans 12:9-10 (English Standard Version)

How about we pro 2A people outdo one another in showing honor, even to (especially to?) our political enemies?

Pax,

Newbius
