I am a Texas resident and CHL holder. I don't know what happened here. It is a mob scene and everybody is screaming. In all the years I've lived in Texas I've only seen a couple of instances of open carry, but I live in an urban area. If you feel passionate enough about an issue to participate and openly carry an AK-47, you should know and assume the risks. If you drive your car towards a street demonstration, you also know the risks. Don't any of these folks have jobs or families to raise? This is not a "good trouble", at least for me. Nobody's cause was advanced. A songwriter once put it best for me, "When everyone's talkin' and nobody's listenin', how can we decide?"
