VIDEO: Open carry advocate threatens Capitol staff

Today the 84th Legislature started out with a bang as open carry gun advocates armed with petition signatures refused to leave a representative’s office after he did not agree to support their cause.

After the representative told the gun advocates they should look elsewhere for support they became verbally hostile asking him if he was aware of the 2nd Amendment and calling him a “tyrant to the constitution,” at which point he asked them to leave. When they refused he threatened to get DPS involved, then one of the offenders stuck his foot in the door to prevent it from closing, ensuring he got a couple more snarky jabs in before being entirely shut out.

“What are you going to do touch me or something? That’d be one wrong move bro,” an open carry advocate could be heard saying after he was shuffled out the door.

20 dead six year olds couldn't. A Senator shot in the head couldn't. Maybe open carry shooting up the place??

Thanks, JoethePleb, it's been a while since I've seen your posts. The Open Carry Crowd down there is really creepy.
