Open-Carry Activists Return to Target With Assault Rifles
More open carry Texas antics
On Saturday in the Dallas suburb of Irving, a group of men armed with semi-automatic rifles gathered in a parking lot outside a Target store for a demonstration led by the group Open Carry Texas, whose goal is the loosening and abolishment of gun regulations. (It’s legal in Texas to carry rifles on display in public, but not handguns.) As I reported recently, Open Carry Texas drew Target into the ongoing political battle over gun laws by encouraging its armed supporters to parade through the store’s toy aisles, tote Oreos along with their ammo, and boast that “Target is very 2A friendly.” (The group and its allies have also been involved in some disturbing intimidation tactics and recently were rebuked by the National Rifle Association.)
