Army Master Sgt. C.J. Grisham told Fox News he was illegally disarmed by members of the Temple Police Dept. – even though he held the proper permits to carry his weapons.

This is complete crap. I read the article & the officers who responded not only handled it wrong but basically denied him his rights. They should be fired.

Gotta love this exchange.

“When you alarm people, and they call us,” one of the officers in the video begins to say, after Grisham asks why the officiers failed to ask for his concealed-carry permit.

“And did you explain to them what the law is, sir?” Grisham asks.

“They don’t care what the law is,” the officer replies. Graham then shoots back, “Do you care what the law is?”

“In this day and age, they’re alarmed when they see somebody with what you have,” the officer replies.

“Just because a guy has got a firearm, he’s dangerous?” Grisham asks, drawing the reply, “Yes, sir.”

Why does the FOX news link show a photo of an AK when the text clearly says he was carrying an AR-15 and a .45 pistol?

None of the media outlets have the slightest clue when it comes to guns!

Media usually just grab a stock photo and go. Heck, I'm impressed it was a rifle at all and not a woman pointing a pistol at the camera or something similar.
