Related: About this forumActivists Plan to Carry Guns on Sixth Street During SXSW Wednesday
AUSTIN -- Gun activists are planning to march down Sixth Street Wednesday openly carrying black powder revolvers and long guns such as rifles.
"We actively engage in conversation with fellow Texans to educate them on our rights," says Justin Delosh with the Austin chapter of Come and Take it Texas.
They did a similar march last Saturday, prompting some stunned SXSW festival goers to ask, "Is this normal Texas?"
"You'd be surprised man. We get lots of people coming up wanting to take photos with us," he says. "It really sparks a lot of conversation."

Why not open carry 'penile substitutes' during an event where it's not really appropriate. The stupid with these kind of folks never ends, does it?

And call the cops with "There is a nut out here with a gun on 6th street!!!"
Or point at one of them and yell "He's got a gun!!!!"

Imagine the situation if these gun-toting droolers weren't white.

I've come to realize this and no longer get outraged by buffoonery. It takes too much of my time and energy.
