Moms Demand Action SWATting You Today

“Birds of a lawless, bigoted feather bully together.”—Michelle Malkin

moms-demand-action spanking“Swatting,” is the act of engaging public emergency services with information that evokes a response consistent with a critical incident, such as a burglary in progress or a gunman in a public place.  Swatting is a hoax. Its a prank…and it is also, illegal.

Moms Demand Action now advocates for Swatting. Well, let me clarify….No, they have not made a formal call to action. But their minions and followers, when seeing a person #opencarrying in public,  have openly advocated for calls to the police, claiming that the open carrier of a firearm is acting in a threatening, provoking or lawless manner…in anticipation of a heavily armed response.  Many on Twitter, Facebook and the other various forums have advocated, suggested or implored fellow anti-gun Kool-Aid slurpers to act. Yet, the official mouthpieces of MDA have stayed silent.

On the Moms demand action facebook page, Joyce Ward inquired, “Why hasn’t someone called 911 so the cops can gun him down?” writes Charles C.W. Cooke for National Review. Cook wrote in his October 4 article,

“Others go a little further, proposing that they might help their cause along if they were actively to bring about an altercation. “Every time I see someone with a gun in a store I will call 911,” Jennifer Decker vows, “they’ll get tired of that right quick!!!” Even that plan is too limited for Ann Marie. “Just call the police every time you see someone with one,” she counsels, “the police will get sick of it eventually or have a run in with one of these clowns and then things will change.”

From the Facebook page, Three Percenter’s Confederation,  this entry was posted,

So fun story. My wife open carries my 1911 a lot. Well she went to Walmart and some woman tried the moms demand scrip of calling the cops and saying someone has a gun and is grabbing it. I guess she told the manager too because he asked her to leave. As she was leaving the cops show up. Cops tell her she’s not doing anything wrong and Walmart can’t kick her out so they go talk to the manager and the women who called. The main manager ends up driving in and talking to them. Cops come back and tells my wife she’s fine to go in and the woman who called said she was grabbing her gun. They said they followed her a bit and didn’t see her grabbing it and asked if she wanted to press charges on the women who called for making false accusations against her.Of corse she says yes! Then Walmart apologized and gave her a gift card. Score one for the good guys.

If a person calls police dispatch and makes statements that are not true, with the express intent of currying a heavily armed response, that is a crime. It is either false report to Law Enforcement, False Public Alarms or unsworn falsification. (I am writing right now, not researching elements of crimes.)

So now, I am open carrying more often. If I get swatted, I’ll see criminal charges on the false reporter. I will plan to file a civil suit against the false reporter as well.  I have open carried in Dunkin Donuts where police officers were waiting in line; I have open carried into convenience stores where police were buying coffee. I have open carried frequently with no grief from law enforcement authorities, thanks to the Free Staters.

Swatting. Moms demand action want to do it. So I will provide the opportunity for them to either (a) resist temptation; or, (b) engage and risk arrest and civil action.  And the beauty of this is that I will be doing a perfectly legal act…Not baiting anybody, just going about my business, doing what I do on a daily basis…open carrying.  Who will join me? Free Staters need not respond, you folks not only proved your salt on this, but you paved the way.
