Temple
– In a Blog Talk radio appearance, M/Sgt. C.J. Grisham said he
plans to make a march across Temple, openly carrying a long gun on
Saturday, June 1.
It's
the same thing he was doing when he was arrested earlier this spring
on a lonely stretch of rural road near the airport in this city while on a
ten-mile hike with his son, a Boy Scout.
This time, he intends to have companionship, fellow hikers bearing arms, locked and loaded.

He
was originally charged with resisting arrest, a Class A Misdemeanor,
because he was “rudely displaying” a firearm. The charge was
amended to interfering with an officer when the cops took the gun
away. They still have the AR-15 and a .45 semiauto pistol he was
carrying with a concealed carry handgun license.
He
didn't say where he intends to form up with fellow Second Amendment
enthusiasts, or when. He did invite them to join him.
“Bring
a long gun,” he said. “Shotgun or rifle.”
Reached
by message on his Facebook page with the question regarding time and
place, he said, “Noon.”
He
did not say where they would form up. We are waiting word on that.
During
the interview, he told the radio host, a representative of a combat
clothing and gear supplier, that he was surprised by the number of
people at the NRA Convention last Friday.
Something
seems to be happening in the world of gun owners, he concluded. Contributions totaling $45,000 have poured in to his blog since he was arrested.
