I have a big problem with someone--anyone--showing up at an event in a not-so-subtle attempt to co-opt the event for their own cause. This was an unnecessarily provacative move that has resulted in nothing more than rile up the committed on both sides. I highly doubt that any fence-sitters on the subject of student concealed carry were persuaded positively.
What tactics? Going to a rally/protest/gathering wearing an empty holster he had been wearing all day long?
The empty holster protest is a highly coordinated, national protest. I guess the "tactic" of participating isn't acceptable, if it is anywhere near another protest
