Had a great time at the rally. This is cross posted for a nation wide forum, so apologies for the Texas stuff yall already know. I'd estimate at least 1000+ showed up, and more trickled in late after I took the big crowd shots at 11:55, so it could have been closer to 1,500 by the time we were done.

Some of the guys from TexasCHLforum.com:
Crowd shots taken 5 minutes before the event started:
Texas sized protest banner:
Texas Democrats: More gun friendly than New York Republicans.
It wouldn't be a protest without at least a few morons. Infowars types made sure to try and get behind the speakers so any photo taken would have their stupid "9/11 inside job" crap behind the speakers. Way to make us look good, guys.
Some of my favorite signs:
Thanks to Hondaciv for bringing the BFL flag so I could find and meet some fellow AR15.com guys.
My favorite shot from the event:
