Open Carry Texas intimidates woman, posts her phone number on YouTube video

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by itsrobert (a host of the General Discussion forum).

Open Carry Texas, an extreme gun rights group, publicly posted on YouTube the name of a citizen who called the Plano police department. The group has previously harassed Moms Demand Action, once again proving that they can only count to the Second Amendment as long as they skip over the first. In the description it reads, “Another helpless sheep calls its master to report scary inanimate objects and shaking flags. You be the judge.”

Open Carry Texas actually stalked Moms Demand Action previously at a restaurant and looked like snipers out in the parking lot. This is not how we have a reasonable discussion. Their intimidation tactics have amped up since then, and now they released details on a concerned citizen who phoned the police after seeing men with assault rifles. This woman is not with Moms Demand Action. She was simply concerned.

3. This post is NOT about guns, this post is about how gun rights groups intimidate and scare others.

Review of he SOP for GD:


Statement of Purpose


Discuss politics, issues, and current events. No posts about Israel/Palestine, religion, guns, showbiz, or sports unless there is really big news. No conspiracy theories. No whining about DU

There are no current exceptions.

Guns and Gun Control have been a touchy subject here on DU. And for that reason, the admins have created several forums in Justice and Public Safety for threads such as this. Please feel free to post it there.

Thanks for your understanding in advance.
