      Crazy person open carrying an AR 15 would probably blend in fine at a Trump rally…

        Yeah right Republican rallies and conventions are “gun free” zones where you no longer have your 2A rights, apparently. People carrying at these rallies would require Republicans to be logically consistent.

        My educated guess is that they looked at him milling about outside the rally and assumed he was a Trump supporter based on his look and wouldn’t be a problem.

        As for the real answer, we’ll have to wait for them to give a statement, but it’ll likely be watered-down misinformation that paints police in the best light, so we’ll probably never know for sure.
