Long gun carry is not illegal in Texas and never has been.
That said? Bring cameras. Lots and lots of cameras, overt and covert. Make sure people are recording everything, with some from a far enough distance that the police won’t be immediately able to confiscate and delete videos. Better yet, make use of one of the apps that uploads to a remote server on the fly so it doesn’t matter if the police *do* get the recording phone, the evidence is somewhere else already.
I do stand corrected on long gun carry. Thanks for catching it.
Still, if there is such mass protest in Waco, whomever is holding one and shooting starts, they will be the first ones the cop sharpshooters go for.
I will be greatly surprised if there are more than a handful show up in Waco on Sunday and there will be no trouble started.
