They where following the Law should be end of story! And the old lady should be arrested for calling 911 without cause! A good lawyer should eat up
this police dept
The Madison Police Department (MPD) has conducted a review of an incident that took place this past Saturday night at Culver’s Frozen Custard restaurant, 4301 East Towne Blvd. Based upon the further investigation, Chief Noble Wray has concluded the appropriate charge for all 5 armed individuals is Disorderly Conduct (DC). Accordingly, DC citations will be issued, and Obstructing a Peace Officer tickets given to two will be rescinded.

I find the police extremely intimidating considering they are armed and have a monopoly on the use of violent force.
Anyone that attempts to openly display the same rights the police have is subjected to violence and extortion.

every action taken by the government is by threat of violence. the government is the only entity that can forcibly wrestle you to the ground, detain you, lock you away, and maim or kill you if you resist in the process. this applies to everything, taxation, etc. actions taken by police officers are worse because the threat of violence is much more immediate.
now, you may not agree with those 8 men's rights to bear arms, but its the law. there's lots of laws i disagree with to, but i don't advocate violence in advancement of my view of how the world should be. These police men were most likely simply ignorant of the law in this case, but if they were not, and were performing these actions to MAKE A POLITICAL POINT then that is in every way the definition of terrorism.
ter·ror·ism (tr-rzm)
n.
The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons.

I know I never leave to go to a restaurant without some sort of firearm by my side.
If you do or don't is not the issue, the 2nd amendment to the constitution is! If I wish to its my right!
Ok.
But why would you bring guns to a family restaurant?
I think these guys WANTED to provoke a reaction.
You can keep your second amendment and guns all you want, but really...Bringing them to a restaurant where there are children? Seems tasteless.
