Woman calls cops on man playing with his kids at park because she was afraid of his pro-gun shirt
2018-04-24
[THEBLAZE] On Saturday, Blue Lives Matter reported that the man’s shirt was not only upsetting the woman, but reportedly others in the vicinity as well.
This is in Texas. Texas, mind you!
Troy Johnston was visiting a Benbrook, Texas, playground with his two daughters to play in late March.
I was just in Texas a few years ago. It seemed normal enough...
Johnston, who was legally and openly carrying his firearm on a hip holster wore the above shirt to the father-daughter outing.
Benbrook is in Tarrant County, and it's a 'burb of Fort Worth, home of the Cowgirl Hall of Fame, among other things.
“I figured I might get some comments or looks,” Johnston told Blue Lives Matter. “[But] I was legally exercising my First and Second Amendment rights.”
Surely he's not the only person who's ever been there totin' a rosco on his hip?
A short while after Johnston and his daughters arrived, a man, along with his family reportedly, approached Johnston about his T-shirt. The man reportedly told Johnston that, between his open carry and his T-shirt, a nearby woman was “fuming.”
Maybe they need a watchlist of known bozeaux?
“I thanked him for letting me know, and continued playing with my kids,” Johnson said, and he noted that shortly after, another family approached him. This time, the second family wanted to read Johnston’s shirt, which was apparently creating waves in the park by this point.
So far reactions are typically Texan...
The man from the second family reportedly told Johnston that the woman was contacting law enforcement over his shirt, adding that he personally “felt more secure knowing there was someone [in the park] that would protect them.”
And now cometh the busybody episode...
What did the police say?
Blue Lives Matter reported that Benbrook Police Department Cpl. J. Reese said the woman did indeed call police on Johnston, and described him as a “suspicious person” who had a “gun holstered to his chest” and wearing the offensive T-shirt.
Dear Gawd! Not a shoulder holster and an offensive tee shirt! Had she come down with the vapors on the spot it woulda been all his fault! And fault means everything, as all us liberals know!
When Reese arrived at the park, he spoke with the woman, who said that Johnston was “was making other parents on the playground very uncomfortable with his T-shirt.”
Only the one, apparently...
“The subject did not act threatening to anyone, nor did he threaten anyone,” Reese noted, and later described Johnston as “polite.”
No rattlesnakes rattled when he appeared. No electronic music could be heard in the background.
“She was not scared of the gun,” Reese added. “[She] was concerned about his T-shirt.”
Tee shirts, as we all know, are dangerous...
According to Johnston, who “voluntarily identified himself” to Reese, he offered to show his gun permit to police.
"I got a permit for my shootin' arn. Want to see it?"
“They didn’t ask,” Johnston told Blue Lives Matter.
"Why'd I bother gettin' a permit if they don't want to see it? You wanta see my permit, lady? Do you? Would it still yer palpitations? Would your hair stop standin' up on end?"
Police said Johnston did nothing wrong and was able to leave the playground.
"I don't want to leave the playground! I want to play with my kids!"
“I cannot believe how the media has convinced so many people that guns are scary,” he told the website. “This lady was having a literal panic attack.”
Maybe he should carry paper bags for when people like her hyperventilate.
He added, “I love my shirt. I’ll probably order more just so I can wear them every day I’m off of work.”
And this happened in Texas, mind you.
No doubt it will be discovered that the dear lady just fled California.

#3  Also, Benbrook is a hoity-toity, snooty city slicker type area. The guy being there made the park a lot safer than any Waffle House.
