I think the point is that the "tolerant" left is anything but and the Antifa type supporters not only want to stop the 2A but also the 1A. Look at them trying to shutdown free speech on college campuses.

Below is an article from 2015 that gun control group advocating calls to police if you they see someone open carrying or even concealed if you have "any doubts" about their intent. That is what this lady in the park did. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2015/09/01/gu ... es-at.html

Three days ago a Danish tourist in NYC was attacked for wearing a MAGA hat: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2018/04/13/ny ... e-say.html

All of this to say that if you have a conservative and/or libertarian shirt/hat/bumper sticker you are going to trigger a snowflake. They do not believe in your right to the 2nd Amendment nor the 1st.

This lady was following the left's playbook to the tee.

By all accounts public (linked article) and private in nextdoor.com comments by people that were actually there, he was not doing anything that would be considered "in your face tactics". He was there with his kids playing in the public park. He was wearing the Tshirt and OC of his handgun that was holstered. Pretty normal activity for parents with their kids in the park.

I'm no fan of "in your face tactics" for 2A rights or just about anything else for that matter. But the woman appears to be the one who was trying to stir things up with other parents and the police. By all accounts of people that spoke with her she was upset that he had a gun. But she told the police that a lot of parents were uncomfortable with the Tshirt.

So my take is she knew he was legally carrying and doing nothing wrong, but because she is anti-gun she called the police. To me this is just another form of trying to "SWAT" someone.

Saw this in my nextdoor.com feed for a nearby neighborhood. I've linked an article that is public:

One of the neighbors in nextdoor.com said they spoke with the woman who called the police on a man who was at the park with his kids on March 30th. He was wearing a pro gun Tshirt and open carrying. Per comments by other people both on nextdoor.com and the below article that were there, she was not upset about his Tshirt (see image below) but rather that he was open carrying. She told the police that he was making several parents uncomfortable.

According Benbrook Police Department (BPD) Corporal J. Reese, a woman contacted the department at approximately 3:21 p.m., and reported a “suspicious person” with a “gun holstered to his chest,” was wearing a shirt that read “You control your kids, I’ll control my guns.”
Cpl. Reese arrived at the scene, where he made contact with the woman.
She claimed that Johnston “was making other parents on the playground very uncomfortable with his t-shirt,” the corporal wrote in his report of the incident. “The subject did not act threatening to anyone, nor did he threaten anyone.”


Four things made me happy about all this:
* Several supportive parents in the park who let the Dad know what she was doing and that she called the police
* Many neighbors on nextdoor.com who were critical of the woman who called the police and supportive of the Dad
* The Dad and how he handled the situation
* Benbrook PD appears to have handled this well - wish they would/could have written her a ticket for false 911 call
