Open Carry Tarrant County Coordinator Kory Watkins, however, said that notifying authorities ahead of time would defeat the purpose of the demonstrations, which is to exercise their legal right to bear arms. "We don't ask for permission or call anybody. We're trying to make this as normal as possible, " he said. The open-carry movement was triggered last year when police arrested Grisham on a resisting-arrest charge. He ultimately was convicted of interfering with police duties. He was walking in the outskirts of Temple, Texas, armed with a semi-automatic rifle when an officer approached. His son videotaped his arrest and broadcast it on YouTube, inspiring a wave of support for Grisham. After being jailed briefly, he was tried and found guilty, and a jury fined him $2, 000. He is currently appealing the verdict. In the meantime, Open Carry Texas has grown to 16, 000 members, and there are dozens of loosely affiliated offshoots, including, until this week, Open Carry Tarrant County. Texas has some of the most liberal gun laws in the country, but openly carrying handguns is illegal. Open-carry groups are lobbying the Texas Legislature to change this rule. In addition to leading open-carry marches three times a week in Tarrant County, Watkins, 30, is running as a Republican candidate for the local school board, and advocates arming teachers and school administrators. "I don't see why anybody would think a gun-free zone is a good thing, " he said. from Friday , 9 May story by Associated Press
