So, explain to me why HE received that treatment, but why those armed leftwingers were not at least contacted by the police there. Does that little show on the sidewalk not rise to meet TPC 42.01 (a)(8), "displays a firearm or other deadly weapon in a public place in a manner calculated to alarm;"? Seems like Roanoke PD could have done a better job.

EDITED TO ADD: I contacted Roanoke PD to ask about this. I highly doubt I will get a message back, but if I do, I will share the gist of it here.
Thanks for doing that!

Sec. 1702.323 indicates that "An individual described by Subsection (a) who carries a firearm in the course of employment must obtain a private security officer commission under this chapter."

That alone would appear to be a legal violation, unless they have a Level III security license.
Were they being compensated? If not, It would be hard to argue that they were carrying in course of employment. I honestly don't really care about antifa carrying. They have a right to carry as long as they don't break any other laws. I have an issue with the venue inviting children to this event.
