    Whoever runs that website is a total loon. Calling for armed insurection and to start shooting the police? Really? Way to promote your cause with sane people.

    If I read correctly they were arrested for Criminal Trespassing, not carrying the gun. How were rights violated?

    In fact the Troopers actually showed some pretty decent restraint. Several others could have easily gone to jail with their buddy. The one guy is right on top of the Troopers and won't back off.

    No threats to any long gun OCers, no threats to anyone who is filming, (which was an issue in some cities). One guy went to jail for Criminal Trespassing after he was given opportunity to leave and refused.

    Seems to be on the up and up.

    I didn't see anything about insurrection in the article, and the group that organised the rally is very much against the cursing used in the video, they certainly don't promote shooting cops.

    I may have mis-spoke. There was a guy named "American Patriot" in the comment section. I though he was affiliated with the website.

    Several in the video could have gone for interfering or disorderly conduct. No gun owner I know would want to be represented by such a group of out of control "protesters". Another case of "advocates" being the worst enemy of the 2A.

    Before its over we will have legislation banning OC of long guns thanks to morons like these.

    You're right, T2 - the protesters went way over the line. Cursing gains nothing - other than to weaken your argument. At the point the officers came to take them into custody, submit and wait for your day in court. You'll gain NOTHING by trying to provoke officers that will do "your side" any good.

    People who sympathize with your cause wont want anything to do with you after a display like that.

    Cudos to the Troopers for professionalism.
    Not the group of people I want representing me as a gun owner.

    That hurt my head. Can someone 'splain to what they were getting carted off for, before they started sitting down in front of the vehicles?

    Don't know, that part wasn't on the vid. From the behavior of that group it could have been a wide variety of things. The guy with the 1898 pistol seems to have actually got arrested for trsapassing after refusing to move for the police car to leave. Had nothing to do with the gun. That was some of the worst examples of seeking out a confrontation I have seen. Looked more like an "Occupy" event than a pro gun rally.
    Some of the "lynch mob lawyers" in the crowd probably want to do a bit more studying before they scream out their legal opinions in the future, lest they put their ignorance on display again.

    She watches too much Law and Order. How about the crowd demanding to know why they were being arrested, as if the Troopers have to answer questions from an angry mob. IMO the Troopers let those people WAY too close to them while they were doing their job.

    Saw this on the local news this evening and knew this would be a topic....

    The way handled themselves in Corpus a few weeks ago seemed fine.....

    I'm not a supporter of wearing "replica" revolvers to try and prove a point.....The press the local news are giving is negative, so not helpful.....

    jmho...

    and yelling and screaming and acting like an angry mob is not going to sway anyone to their side....

    Hard to help people who are acting like petulant children look good. Only ones making it look bad are the ones who acted the fool at the Capitol.
