Over 540 gun rights thought-leaders converged on the community of Olmos Park, Texas to address grievances against Chief Rene Valenciano and some of his operational command, who have abused Texas citizens—according to the protesters and others who have seen documented video footage of the violations, deviating from good policing practices on the streets of Olmos Park, online, and on social media.

The attendees seeking redress from the municipality leaders, congregated within the limits of San Antonio, Texas which took on a the feel of a family reunion of patriots and friends, prior to departing on a flexible route within Olmos Park. The group did not know what to expect once they set foot within the city limits as the City Council of Olmos had advised the media that no permit had been requested, implying that one was needed. Open Carry Texas who organized the walk, reviewed the ordinances of the town and understood that there was no need for a permit as long as the mass did not impede the public from travel.
Prior to the rally, Chief McManus of San Antonio came to shake hands and greet attendees, supporting their Constitutional effort and assisted with blocking traffic and keeping a focus on potential agitators who had threatened to disrupt the group.
Attending Texans and locals were joined by other state supporters from Ohio, Florida, Connecticut, New Mexico, and Arizona, to name a few.
