AUSTIN — Never let it be said that Austin can't get weird, especially for a presidential visit.

As a small group of Texans who support the open-carry of guns made their way through downtown Austin Friday, they were confronted by a topless woman who called herself "Austintatious Babe" who bared her opposition to their stance.

She exchanged words with C.J. Grisham, a leader with Open Carry Texas, who told her outside the Texas Capitol: "You are assaulting my senses right now."

"Bite me, baby," she responded, as tourists including small children stood nearby.

Grisham fired back: "You are an embarrassment to boobs everywhere."

She responded with a sign she was wearing: "Sorry about your small penis issues."

The woman would not give her name. But she did give her age: 56.
