Must be remembering these turkeys, they were the last I remember carrying guns down the middle of the street.

"For more than two hours, about 200 law enforcement officers kept the Klansmen separated from about 50 members of the Black Muslims of
Houston and New Black Panthers of Dallas. The militants had arrived in town with trunkloads of guns, which some members carried through
the streets. Although it is legal in Texas to carry a loaded weapon in public, police did not allow any guns on courthouse grounds.

A dozen militants twice tried to break through the police barricades.

One of them, Khalid Muhammad, a former spokesman for the Nation of Islam, tried to get onlookers in the crowd -- members of the media
easily outnumbered the 200 spectators -- to join in their attempts to overcome police and get at the Klan members. "
