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

And what does that have to do with the topic in this thread??WolfeJager wrote:I buy a long gun every week... I have never had to wait to take it home. Pick out a pretty one, fork over the cash, fill out the required forms, pass the background check, go home, and stroke gun for 8 hours.
Next week, repeat above.

Re: Open Shotgun Carry in Austin
I would not make that assumption at all. The metropolitan PD is quite large and 911 calls come through the system.[/quote]frazzled wrote: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.

Despite the legal outcome, it will be more bad publicity for gun owners.
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.

It just might be an opportunity for several of us
to get together and meet one another.....
when the Austin District Attorney's office subpoena's
us to come and testify that we tried our best to talk
'ifanyonecan' out of his proposed course of action.
