San Antonio Police Attempt to Remove Private Buyers at Gun Buyback
AmmoLand ^ | Novmeber 24, 2023 | Dean Weingarten

On Sunday, 19 November, a gun turn-in event, also known by the Orwellian nomenclature of “buyback” was held at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas.

San Antonio police attempted to move private purchasers away from the line of cars forming for the gun turn-in “buyback” event. CJ Grisham, of Open Carry Texas and Texas legislative fame, schooled the police. He kept them from overstepping their bounds. CJ Grisham is now a practicing attorney in Temple, Texas.

This was the first known event of this sort for San Antonio. The temperature was about 65 degrees in San Antonio on Sunday morning, with light rain falling during the event from about noon to four p.m. It appeared to be overcast most of the day. CJ Grisham live-streamed video of the event. That video is available above.

This conversation occurs between CJ Grisham and Captain Earwood before the event really starts. It lasts for two minutes starting about four minutes and 15 seconds into the video. The entire video is two hours and 53 minutes long.

Captain Earwood of the San Antonio Police Department.

Captain Earwood is polite, well-spoken, and smart enough to know when to retreat in good order.

Summary of Incident by Dean Weingarten

Captain Earwood of the San Antonio Police Department: Good Morning, How are y’all doing?

CJ: Hey good. How are y’all doing? Mr. Earwood?

Captain Earwood: Captain Earwood, 5013.

CJ: Captain Earwood, nice to meet you.

Captain Earwood: 5013.

CJ: 5013. Doing well.

Captain Earwood: So, We have confirmed that the sidewalk is part of the Alamodome property.

CJ: Nope. You haven’t confirmed that. ‘Cause I already looked at the GIS survey. This is a public sidewalk.

Captain Earwood: Ok.

CJ Grisham schools the San Antonio police on what is a public sidewalk. The transcript is about twice as long as shown in this excerpt.

Alamodome folks were the culprits, I believe. Brandon Herrera was trespassed from the parking lot for conducting private purchases.

A language warning may be in order for Brandon. At any rate, I’d like to see him win his Congressional race.

Be well researched and prepared if you want to oppose the state authorities and narrative.

Besides Captain Earwood being polite, well-spoken, and smart enough to know when to retreat in good order, he is also a liar when it comes to talking to the public.

The Alamodome is owned and operated by the city of San Antonio. Does that mean it operates like private property as far as the parking lot? Do they need a fence and no trespassing signs?

Why do police feel they can lie to the public. Nothing says Im an Orwellian Jack boot more than lying to the public.

Captain Earwood: So, We have confirmed that the sidewalk is part of the Alamodome property.

CJ: Nope. You haven’t confirmed that. ‘Cause I already looked at the GIS survey. This is a public sidewalk.

Captain Earwood: Ok.

Question, since Cities around the nation are having these buy back events and others are offer more money to privately purchase the guns, aren’t Cities trafficking in guns?

”So, We have confirmed that the sidewalk is part of the Alamodome property.”

But…but…but that would mean police lie and will knowingly step on your rights.

The question remains… How can one “buy back” something that one never owned in the first place? “Orwellian” is an apropos word.

That almost seems like they’d be considered public property.

Oh, wait. Looks like Earwood isn’t wearing one...?

Well, if you’re going to violate someone’s First Amendment rights, probably a good idea, eh...

Why should we trust LE if they can lie to you?

There were no private buyers at the last one of these I attended in Baltimore. They were paying well above market value for the broken, rusty crap most people, including me were selling.
