ONE THOUSAND LONG GUNS AT THE ALAMO!
Associate Editor note:
This release is sent to all who are considering participating in this
event. Please, everyone, comply with the guidelines presented here, in
order that the event may be successful. "This is NOT an open
carry of handguns event - just rifles, but by that example of how we
can open carry rifles safely and responsibly, we hope to eventually
change Texas law to make open carry of handguns legal in Texas too"
Again, this is an open carry of Long Guns event. Absolutely no hand
guns, please.
From Jay Stang, Texas Chapter President and Board Member, Oath Keepers
We
as OCT, TC, CATI and DontComply understand some of these requests may
offend some, but please understand that a lot was put on the line for
this event for many people. We are showing how 1000 rational armed
citizens can gather and obey the law (even if we don't agree with it)
Let's make History on Oct 19th!!
Long
guns will have "flagged chambers" meaning a flag or 1/2 of a drinking
straw will be inserted into the empty chamber and visible on the
outside. This protects you legally! The City of San Antonio has aN
illegal ordinance (21-16) that makes it a violation to openly carry a
"loaded" long arm on a public street. Loaded in SAPD means a chambered
round and/or a full mag. We will be doing chamber checks only, and only
on long guns. Holstered (secured) BP pre-1899s and CHLs will not be
checked.
We
will have "safety" teams posted at the parking areas. They will have
free chamber flags. It is recommended that If you are solo, that you
wait at the "safety check" area for some fellow patriots and travel to
the event site in teams. We should avoid individual movement at all
costs. Travel in groups to The Alamo. We don't want to open ourselves to
be picked off one or two at a time.
SAPD
chief has said on record they will not be enforcing the 21-16
ordinance at this event.... We shall see but it's best just to cover
your rear. We do not anticipate any harassment from SAPD but, we highly
recommend that if being approached by an officer IMMEDIATELY flip on
the record function on your phone until you are satisfied it is not a
negative encounter. Also SA has an ordinance against any folding knife
that locks in the open position. Yes I am talking about all the pocket
clip knifes we all carry. If one is SEEN by a officer it does give them
PC that you are committing a crime....
Moms
Demand Action group is forming a counter protest. These ladies are
delusional in their thought process about guns.... PLEASE if you
encounter them be Gentlemen and smile... You will not charm or sway
them... Don't give them any fuel.
The
Alamo is a HUGE tourist location. We have done a few smaller events in
the area and have received a 90% acceptance level in the past. But you
may get a small fractional amount of tourists who don't like guns...
Same with the Moms group. Smile and wave.... If you've GOT to say
something, I'd suggest, "Welcome to Texas!", and then peacefully move
on.
This
event is not a field training..... And showing up in multi-cams, LBVs,
PCs does nothing more than reinforce the stereotype that we are
pushing against..... If you want to dress up in full battle rattle,
perhaps you should join a local militia group and attend the FTX's...
We are Texas patriots at this event, not a standing army. Yelling terms
like, "pigs" and "nazi" at police is counter productive to this event.
We are trying to foster a positive relationship with law enforcement
to prevent negative encounters, not encourage them.
We
will have a legal team of senior attorneys from Texas Law Shied at the
event in case of illegal harassment from SAPD. Anyone acting out or
being irresponsible will be asked to leave this event.
We
are showing the world (and the world will be watching) how 1000+
openly armed Texans can safely and respectfully gather in a highly
populated area without incident. Our goal is Open Carry of Long Guns,
and this event will be used as a tipping point landmark example.
Thank you from all of us at:
Open Carry Texas
DontComply
Texas Carry
Come and Take It
