Open Carry Texas Founder Plans To Bring Rifle To Obama's SXSW Speech, Says 'This May Get Interesting'
Thankfully, the Secret Service is already well aware of this nut's threat.
From the NY Daily News: Texas gun rights activist plans to bring rifle to event during Obama’s SXSW speech, says ‘This may get interesting’:
A Texas gun rights activist plans to “open carry my rifle” to an event that “may get interesting” during President Obama’s South by Southwest festival speech Friday, the activist wrote in a Facebook post on his group’s private page.
Open Carry Texas founder C.J. Grisham made the remarks Wednesday to the closed group’s 28,000 members, and one responded, “If you get a clear shot, please fire for effect!,” according to images of the posts obtained by gun control advocates Everytown for Gun Safety.
“The Secret Service is aware of this posting and is conducting the appropriate follow up,” said agency spokesman Robert Hoback. He noted in a statement that federal law gives Secret Service agents authority to prohibit guns at presidential events, even in open-carry states like Texas.
