Re: Open Carry Texas Plans Protest at DPS Headquarters

Yea.. It's trouble.
You've got a group that is going fishing.
And you've got another group that might want to solve the immediate problem at hand.

Likely to get expensive...

I agree.. I think this is the only point that these advocates can be making. It's planned, obviously political (protected speech), and you need to arrest carefully under those conditions. If they can do it at DPS headquarters, what is different about a public park? (other than scaring the heck out of the public)

BaldEagle,
It's not about the laws, it's all about the enforcement. The law already allows for stunts like this, yet these guys face a pretty good chance of getting arrested because of enforcement policy. When enforcement policy doesn't jive with law, the courts get to "clarify" at someone's expense.


Note, I don't support the action here as I believe it makes all 2nd amendment advocates look a bit nuts in the public eye... I do understand why they are doing it.
