Mr. Rose was the individual who spoke with Rep. Renner and got him on film.
But that’s not all Mr. Rose has done. He spends his own money to make sure that anti-gun buy-backs don’t work. Yes, he stands in front of the buy-backs that the City of Gainesville does, and he buys the guns before the city does. He makes sure that people get good money and that the guns aren’t destroyed.
Mr. Rose goes to the Capitol on short notice and puts the pressure on lawmakers. He has been there, time and time again, fighting the good fight.
Well, this past Thursday, Mr. Rose was in front of the 20th Annual Ronald Reagan Black Tie & Blues Jeans BBQ, informing attendees that approached him that gun free zones don’t work. At no point was Mr. Rose disrespectful, argumentative, combative, or mean-spirited.
Mr. Rose simply stood outside, on a public sidewalk, and held a sign showing that he’s against gun free zones and that he won’t be disarmed. No more and no less. He didn’t block attendees; he didn’t approach the entrance or attempt to make entry to the event. He simply stood on a public sidewalk and held a sign.
I was there with him, informing attendees that gun free zones don’t work and that they need to push for Constitutional Carry. But again, this is about Mr. Rose.
Someone inside the event didn’t like the sign Mr. Rose was holding and had the City of Alachua Police approach Mr. Rose to tell him to leave because it was a private event.
Again, the private event was INSIDE THE BUILDING, not outside. It was then that Mr. Rose and a few officers from the City of Alachua walked back toward a field next to the parking lot.
According to Mr. Rose, he had a twenty-minute discussion with law enforcement. And at the end of it, a supervisor in the department contacted the City Manager and confirmed that the sidewalks were not part of the event and Mr. Rose could be there peacefully.
Mr. Rose went back to where he was standing, at which point, he was told to leave by someone from inside the event again. Mr. Rose stood his ground and said “no.” He would not allow his First Amendment rights to be squashed, especially after being told that he could be there. That is when a different police officer detained Mr. Rose and charged him with trespassing.
