So called "OC Activists": Stop helping, Just Stop. Seriously
Posted: Sun May 03, 2015 8:45 pm
The Article I am discussing can be found here: http://crimeblog.dallasnews.com/2015/05 ... llas.html/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
In the article Don't Comply is standing with anti-police protesters by openly carrying long guns and the leader of Don't Comply is carrying a gas mask as part of his kit. Now you may not recognize the name Don't Comply, even though they have been active in the Open Carry protest scene from the beginning, but maybe you recognize the name of one of their activism fronts: Come And Take It (Clarification: This CATI is the so called gun rights Group, not the podcast).
This last week OC activists, mostly from OCT, has seemingly been on a mission to scuttle any pro-gun legislation with the planned march in front of Austin PD, a number of videos where OC activists are interacting with police (double facepalm moment for the one where the OCT member keeps asking if he is being detained after being told he was). CJ Grisham has reportedly posted to the closed OCT Facebook group begging for money to sue the DPS over the Austin arrests, and more idiocy on the open carry front.
It seems with the more critical time gets for legislation the more insane the open carry movement is getting. While this has traditionally been the case it has never been quite this bad at this point and I am just waiting for the attacks on the NRA/TSRA and the people that are working to ensure pro-gun legislation passes to get ratcheted up to a whole new level. So I will ask of the Open Carry Movement: Please stop helping, just stop it. Seriously stop it now, before you do any more damage.
