Re: Open Shotgun Carry in Austin

Oh, OK. It usually helps to quote the post you are answering if it is more than a couple of posts back in the thread so folks know what you are referring to. :thumbs2:

That way us old guys who can't remember more than two posts back can figure it out. :lol:

Next week, repeat above.

I think you have also missed the part where he stated he was intending to let the police know what he was going to do. I would assume they would be aware of the date, time, location and description of the person and know it was him.
I would not make that assumption at all. The metropolitan PD is quite large and 911 calls come through the system.[/quote]

You need to think about the exposure this event would get from the police department; if they know it is going on, you can bet they will make SURE that everyone knows it is happeneing, including the potential of actually having an officer observing him.
