Texas Republican Briscoe Cain was thrown out of the state’s Democratic party convention after he snuck in with a gun and tried to “prank” attendees by handing out lawn signs, the Star-Telegram reports.

State Rep. Briscoe Cain, R-Deer Park, and a handful of other Republican activists were thrown out after handing out fake yard signs reading, “This home is a gun-free safe space.”

Attendee Mirian Spencer shot video of Cain lifting his shirt to show what appeared to be a holstered weapon after an attendee asks him “When’d you go gun-free?”

Cain seemed to believe that the signs would put people in danger.

I'm 73 and my whole life I have always walked away. My wife gets upset with me because I won't confront poor food or poor service in a restaurant -- I just smile and leave a tip.

On the other hand, the first man I killed in Vietnam, I killed him with a knife -- Kabar, the standard issue military fighting knife. I still have it. With bloodstains on the leather wrapping on the handle.

Because of the Proud Democrat bumper stickers on my truck, I have been cursed at, spit at, truck has been keyed, obscene notes left on the windshield, and one guy pulled a pistol on me.

The Texas Democrats should have piled on this little shit and beaten him until his own mother would not recognize him.

You know that "turn the other cheek stuff?" Kiss that shit good-bye.

Looks like a second-generation Konzervativ grin on his cute little face. Probably ain't had an original thought since 1994. "Daddy, what do I think about this?"
