If you were driving south on Green Oaks Boulevard in Arlington on Thursday around 7 p.m., your headlights might have caught a glimpse of a group of people walking along the sidewalk carrying what looked like rifles and shotguns over their shoulders. No, the fading dusk wasn't messing with your vision. Yes, those were really long guns slung across their backs.

A group called Open Carry Texas was expressing their Second Amendment right with a group of about 20, including two preschoolers. They walked from an Albertson's parking lot, up north for a bit (a mile or so), then back south, past a church where an officer in a cop car was keeping an eye on things.

Cars honked and some folks hung out their windows and hollered in support. The marchers hollered back. When asked for a photograph, they couldn't have been nicer and waved for the camera like queens on a float. The walk continued to a Starbucks, where only one of the marchers went in and the others stayed outside. Eventually they all posed for a group picture in front of Starbucks, then carried on.

I attended an Independence Day parade in Colo. this year. There were about 475 of us carrying. Four County Sheriffs led the parade.

That is the credo of Larry the Cable Guy: “I have a right to BARE arms.”

My credo is: “When preparing to fight a tyrant, be loaded for BEAR.”

A group called Open Carry Texas...

This group is headed up by Chris Grisham. He has a long history of trouble and is looking to agitate for more.

True proponnents of the 2nd and responsible gun owners should steer clear of this guy.

“True proponnents of the 2nd and responsible gun owners should steer clear of this guy.”

Why, is he doing something illegal?

LOL! Yer funny.

What makes you qualified to decide what a 'true proponent' of the 2nd Amendment IS?

I, for one, am heartily sick of thought that the exercise of my rights is curtailed because the sight of it might frighten a member of our pantywaist, slack-jawed society.

A right to keep and bear arms is an inalienable Right, and the cops need to understand that just like the yokels do.

Even people that are not perfect can accomplish positive things.

Yeah? Then pick up a weapon and stand a post with Grisham and his silly stunts. After you get arrested then come back here and tell us how your 2A rights are now more secure.
