CAITLIN MACNEAL JULY 6, 2014, 5:13 PM EDT
Two Richmond, Va. open carry advocates organized a demonstration in the city's Carytown neighborhood on July 4, but they were the only two people to attend.
They invited more than 300 people on Facebook to walk down one of the city's main streets openly carrying handguns, rifles and long guns, according to the Richmond Times-Dispatch.
Organizer Jason Spitzer, a Chesterfield County steel mill worker, was unable to explain the low turnout.
"I dont know why," he told the Times-Dispatch.
