Open Carry Activist Charged With Shooting Death Of Husband, Stepdaughter
A member of Open Carry Tarrant County and Open Carry Texas, is facing capital murder charges after two people were discovered shot dead in her home. Veronica Dunnachie, 35, was arrested by police as she drove herself to a nearby mental hospital following the shooting.
Veronica Dunnachie, 35, is in custody and bail had not yet been set, according to the police.
According to Tarrant County records, the residence is owned by Russell Dunnachie, a house where Veronica reportedly lived with her husband, their three young children and his adult daughter from a previous relationship.
However, relatives of Veronica Dunnachie said she was no longer living at the home and court records indicated she filed for divorce in October.
The bodies of her alleged victims were discovered after police were called to perform a welfare check at the house.
A nearby Elementary School was briefly placed on lockdown. The lockdown was lifted shortly after Dunnachie was taken into custody.
According to a cousin, Elizabeth Rojas, Dunnachie had distanced herself from their family in recent years, and they had not seen her in nearly three weeks.
She said her cousin was an avid gun user and regularly posted about her gun use on Facebook. Those pictures were circulated by Open Carry groups.
Dunnachie has been actively involved in open carry rallies that have been staged at businesses like Target.
In the following image, Dunnachie is on the left, the wife of Kory Watkins, leader of Open Carry Tarrant County is on the right at an open carry rally in Target’s parking lot.
Fortunately, Target responded to a call from Moms Demand Action to end open carry of guns in stores and parking lots, and now asks customers to leave their guns at home. Unfortunately, Kroger has not agreed to ending this practice in their stores, even after sustained pressure from Moms, leaving their customers at risk.
C.J. Grisham, leader of Open Carry Texas, will surely deny that she was a member of his extremist group of gun toting miscreants, but there are screen shots which have circulated which will counter any denials by him and I’ll be happy to tweet them out, because I’m nice like that.
His response to the deaths in which he’s intentionally vague:
Travis Raymond Kuenstler asks CJ Grisham on Facebook to “Please delete your post and encourage others to do the same, privately.”
She ‘likes’ him, too.
Bobby is not surprised.
Amy is a gun nut and testifies at everything in support of expanding gun rights. Today, she has the sads.
“Mama didn’t raise no victim,” writes Open Carry Tarrant County.
Here she is posing with a group of armed men and women on a city park full of families and children in Ft. Worth, Texas:
Here Dunnachie is at another Texas business with Open Carry activists. The man to her left is Guy Potter, he was part of the group that menaced Moms Demand Action members last November in Arlington, TX:
Here she is looking like every other Open Carry activist. Size matters, amirite?
Veronica, just like her colleagues with the aforementioned gun groups, objects to a ban on open carrying firearms in Kroger. You see, they are all law-abiding citizens, that is, until one of them opens fire.
Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America are asking Kroger to end the practice of open carry in its stores for exactly this reason. This woman is a close associate of at least two of the folks that have been photographed carrying fully loaded high capacity weapons inside Kroger grocery store locations. Kory and Janie Watkins (both with extensive arrest records of their own) are pictured with Dunnachie in the image above.
Kory and Janie Watkin’s mugshots:
Janie Watkins at a Dallas area Kroger store.
I’ve said this countless times: We don’t know who these Open Carriers are so how are we to determine which one is a “good guy with a gun” because obviously, Veronica isn’t.
Watch:
Big thanks to my source whose anonymity will be respected here. Also, thanks to CoCo, a gun owner with gun sense.

If you’re too scared to leave your house without openly carrying a gun, stay the hell home, you cowards.
Steve Harmon December 12th, 2014 at 12:24
Get over your fears. Do you want law enforcement disarmed as well? Does the sight of that bunch of metal parts scare you that much? Maybe you should be the one to avoid this big bad scary world.
Aun Awn December 12th, 2014 at 12:29
It does sound like he’s a little offended by open carries, doesn’t it? I don’t need a gun to leave my house nor am I afraid of or offended by those who carry them openly.
Should look up how many people have actually been shot at open-carry rallies, my guess is not many.
Steve Harmon December 12th, 2014 at 12:41
Actually the number is zero, same as gun shows.

However this does not suprise me one iota.

When one responds to this crap with this sociopathic comment, “Many people die every day. This circumstance is no different than all the others”, it’s easy to surmise that some of these wingers own guns like it’s either a fetish or simply obsessive compulsive behavior.

Exactly! Hunters can be required to keep guns and ammo in a stockade armory just like the U.K., many other nations and the U.S. Military are required to do.

Why would I learn martial arts? I legally carry a sidearm. Penis size, really? Proves my point about you childish whiners, you have no valid point, sad really.
Obewon December 13th, 2014 at 14:36
You can’t legally carry any sidearm per SCOTUS D.C. Heller until you (1) Annually pay fees and (2) pass a background check annually. (3) Submit to any local laws for (inspection, gunsafe, etc) and (4) Register all guns and ammo annually. Each year you must repeat steps 1, 2, 3 and 4 or you’re just another illegal gun owner like Rick Perry barred from guns and ammo possession.
Face it. Everyone laughs at you inbreds because you’re se well proven functionally and legally illiterate.
Steve Harmon December 13th, 2014 at 16:19
Yup, I can as I don’t live in DC. Your “penis” obsession is troubling to me. I’m not here to judge if “penis” is what you desire, I prefer women. I’m not on a military base, lets try to keep the conversation focused, shall we?

Okay “penis” boy, I see your lack of knowledge on the subject has led you down the same path as those that lose the conversation based on facts, you head directly to grade school insults. I’ve grown past that so enjoy your “penis” references, I’m sure we all get a chuckle from your lame tactics. Gov. Perry has been indicted, yes. Being indicted still, in Texas, allows him the ownership of all his weapons and ammo unlike you improperly asserted earlier. Your list constituting what is a felon does not pertain to Gov Perry as he has not, as of this writing, been found guilty.
amongoose December 16th, 2014 at 09:13
Their gun laws have also been ruled too restrictive. Problem is they don’t seem to want to obey the decision and are having to be sued to comply with a court decision they don’t agree with.
In Palmer v. D.C. they are trying to get Judge Scullin to hold the city in contempt of his order to enact a licensing mechanism “enabling people to exercise their Second Amendment right to bear arms.”
Steve Harmon December 12th, 2014 at 14:23
Under what laws? You advocate disobeying the Constitution? Sorry, never going to happen.
Obewon December 12th, 2014 at 19:50
US Military weapons are “well regulated” that’s why they’re “required to keep guns and ammo in a stockade armory.”-per the “well regulated”-2nd Amendment. Remember to keep arms inside the car at all times….

Obewon December 13th, 2014 at 15:04
TX Guber Rick Perry as required surrendered any guns and ammo he possessed and is legally barred from purchasing any guns and ammo.
“No right is absolute”: Perry like all indicted and or convicted felons are barred from possessing guns and ammo. Also barred from guns and ammo in the USA besides “Felons” are: those under judicial restraining orders, legally adjudicated mental defectives, Dishonorably discharged Veterans, those on DHS & FBI watchlists, and non U.S. citizens.
Steve Harmon December 13th, 2014 at 16:27
I fail to see the connection between Gov. Perry and myself, maybe you can try to explain when you have a moment.
Steve Harmon December 13th, 2014 at 16:40
Oh, by the way, seing as you appear to want to present yourself as an expert on gun laws, let me correct you. You mentioned the Gov. is “barred from possessing guns and ammo”. That is incorrect as he is not a “convicted” felon. As such, he is free to keep as many guns and as much ammo as he already owns. He’s free to carry his guns on his property. There, you’re welcome for the education. My ignorance? Nope, my truthful guidance. unlike some that seem to be agenda driven, I welcome discussion and the chance to learn new things. Sorry, you have the wrong Steve Harmon in mind as I meet none of the criteria you set forth. I legally own all 15+ weapons in my possession and more ammo than I could envision using. Threw that part in just to get your blood pressure up a few points.

Oh, by the way, we have this thing in the legal system called, “innocent until proven guilty”. Gov. Perry was indicted not found guilty, hence, not an “indicted felon”, please try to keep up. There is this thing called Google, it’s a great resource for the uninformed, like you. Your arguments become much stronger when you use facts, otherwise people see you for what you really are, a liar and that’s not helpful, don’t you think? When you re-read the post you are referring to you will find only facts, no tin foil involved here, just facts, sorry if you have a hard time with that.
Obewon December 14th, 2014 at 15:13
Guber Perry was Ordered Disarmed by the Judge because he is an Indicted Felon on many felony charges.
1) Perry lost his attempt to have his case dismissed without any “Trial”-Fact!
2) Perry remains ‘legally barred from guns and ammo possession’-Fact!
3) ‘Perry Hasn’t been tried yet’-Fact!
4) “Gov. Perry was indicted not found guilty, hence, not an “indicted felon”-Steve Harmon is a Delusional Liar-Fact!
Steve Harmon December 14th, 2014 at 15:37
Nice try Obewon (odd screen name for someone with so little knowledge) but, nope. Indicted by a grand jury does not = felon. As such all I have said about this before is “fact”, your’s is simply wishful thinking but nice try. Unfortunately for you, people do not rely on you for facts as evidenced by the lack of people assigning “up votes” to you, so sad. Keep trying though, “penis boy”, someday someone other than ted will believe you.

Thanks. Nope, Gov. Perry was not ordered disarmed by a judge and I can prove it. Please direct us all to any website that has pics of law enforcement arriving at Gov. Perry’s residence to collect his arsenal (quite large) and ammunition. I’m sure your gun-grabbing buddies would have covered that extensively. There is no such thing as an “indicted felon” until after someone is found guilty, in a court, of any felony charges. Of course, I and anyone else convicted felony could have their guns taken, what a stupid statement. Just to clear things up, when and by whom was Gov. Perry ordered disarmed. I have searched and found no such order. So, once again, you’re a liar but no surprise there, at least you are consistent. What’s the Judge’s name liar? Come on liar, what’s his name? Ha ha ha, busted for lying again, wow, this is too easy, liar.

The lying little libidiot has yet to prove his assertion that a judge has ordered Gov. Perry to relinquish his weaponry. I would think your use of the term, “teabagg” (two g’s?) is the only filthy mouth employed here. Try to keep up tracey. Facts are difficult to dispute unless you are, yourself, a lying libidiot.

No crying here, no desperation here, I enjoy using facts and upsetting little lying libidiot (that’s a combination of liberal and idiot, pretty clever, huh?) trolls like you, it brings a smile to my face. Poor thing, resorting to spewing what you intend as denigrations that are only entertainment for me, as it shows me that you have already lost based on the facts. So, please, let’s have more, let’s see how imaginative you can become.
Obewon December 14th, 2014 at 19:04
‘Any indicted Tx felons facing 1 year in prison may not ship, transport, possess, or receive firearms.’ Weapon or ammo Possession is another felony charge against indicted felony teabagger Ricky-Bobby Perry.
Steve Harmon December 14th, 2014 at 19:32
Ahh ha ha, poor little thing, you try so hard but that’s exactly what I’ve been saying, he may not purchase guns or ammo, he must not carry concealed, we agree. Where is the reference to your assertion that he must turn over any guns or ammo that he already owns? You lose again liar. What, again, is the judge’s name that ordered him to turn over the guns and ammo that is already in his possession? Typical little lying libidiot, you make statements that you cannot back up with evidence. Keep trying though, I’ll be anxiously waiting for that name (that doesn’t exist) or for you to admit you lied, either will do.

Steve Harmon December 14th, 2014 at 19:09
Okay, I’ll have to go with your expertise in this area. I’m referring to the Governor spacifically and the fact that he, Gov. Perry, has not received such an order as asserted by the lying libidiot that I’ve been conversing with. Thanks though.

Steve Harmon December 14th, 2014 at 19:44
Nope, wrong again, it’s a way for little lying libidiots, like you to interject yourself into a conversation with the objective of steering a conversation away from the facts, That won’t work here as I deal in facts exclusively. Don’t let that stop you though, it’s very entertaining reading your silly little, unfactual, rants. In other words, I just love pissing you and your kind off.

I love the fact that Perry lost his concealed carry permit and is disallowed from buying any guns and ammo.

Steve Harmon December 14th, 2014 at 19:15
I have no idea what “bling obedience” is but, if you take the time to read my posts you will find nothing but fact, that is all I need. “Show my ass”? I have no idea how to respond except to suggest you take some deep breaths and try to view this conversation objectively. Failing that, have fun and spew as much hatred as you please because, little one, your view of me means nothing.

Perry’s crime is a state crime. Rights restoration for state crimes can be restored judicially on state level. Only a federal crime requires a pardon.
Minnesota, a blue state I believe, has some of the most lax laws dealing with this.

Perhaps the most lenient state on gun rights restoration is Minnesota. In this state, non-violent felons can regain their firearms rights as soon as they complete their sentences, reports the Times. And people who have committed a violent felony can petition a court to have their rights restored without even notifying prosecutors.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, California has perhaps the most difficult laws to regain gun rights. In California, a felon would have to receive a pardon from the governor to regain the ability to legally carry a gun.

Maybe you can ‘expalin why FL Guber “Jeb Bush” considered no more than 200 “Pardons” annually so Voting rights of FL citizens could be restored to about 80 people each year.
You must be beginning to realize why we laugh at how uninformed teabaggers are so well proven to be? (Answer 49% of self described conservatives get their political news from just 1 source: Always debunked and never updated GOP TV Faux News!)

Each state, as I mentioned in the above post has different laws on restoration of rights.
Here are Florida’s.
You really need to do a bit less insulting, and more research.
And read posts a little closer.

Ask Guber Ricky-Bobby to buy you or himself Guns & Ammo and see how fast he’ll be charged with additional felonies! Under federal law, he is prohibited from buying guns and ammunition while under indictment for a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year. Guber Perry is charged with abuse of official capacity, a first-degree felony, and coercion of a public official, a third-degree felony, handed down by a state grand jury. He faces up to 99 years in jail if convicted of the first-degree felony!
GOP teabagger Perry for POTUDumbazz’ until conviction & incarceration~
amongoose December 17th, 2014 at 08:41
Rick Perry may not buy a weapon but can keep what he owns now. Right to own is only lost on conviction. It is temporary seizure in cases such as domestic abuse, restraining orders and such where a someones life is in danger. And no one can buy a weapon for another person, that is a straw purchase prohibited by federal law.
I came to this site by invitation in an email. I came due to my respect for the founder Alan. Although I may disagree with him on about everything except civil rights, and surveillance I respect him. He argues his point with civility and class which I assumed on a site founded by him I would find unlike most left and right side sites. It looks like I was wrong.
You do a diservice to civilized discourse as well as dishonor him with your constant abusive diatribes and petty insults.
You really need to lose the hate, it is going to eat you up inside, if it already hasn’t.
I can disagree with someone and not hate them, you it seems can’t do that.
A few lessons on proper and civil debate would be in your best interests. As would be aquiring some non-abrasive people skills. I would recomend Dale Carnige’s “How to win friends and influence people”. You don’t seem to like to refute arguments with anything but hateful insults, inuendos, and slurs. You seem to prefer an echo chamber to an exchange of ideas. Sad, because without the free flow of ideas you can’t grow, you can only rot.
Getting a straight answer is it seems is absolutely impossible. It is easier to influence someone if you are reasonable rather than constantly and venomously combative.
It seems to me that a caring, compassionate liberal would believe in giving second chances, but your refusal to commit to whether you personally think felons should be allowed restoration of rights makes me doubt your compassion and love for your fellow man.

And typically you “seam” to be illiterate. You can’t cherry pick what you want out of the Constitution, conveniently leave the rest of it out and say it’s on your “side”!
Steve Harmon December 14th, 2014 at 10:38
Teddy teddy, If you can follow along you will find that I was referring to “penis” boys reference to “well regulated” in the 2nd amendment. I was simply adding the other part that the 2nd amendment refers to, my individual right to own and bear Arms. Please, for the sake of all that follow these postings, try to keep up, it makes it much more enjoyable for them.
ted December 14th, 2014 at 10:57
Stevie, Stevie, the 2nd Amendment isn’t that long but maybe you need to have someone read it to you. It says “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free
State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be
infringed.” It doesn’t say “Every beer guzzling, tin-foil hat wearing inbred Goober with the IQ of a potato has the right to intimidate mothers with their children shopping at Kroger.”
Steve Harmon December 14th, 2014 at 11:11
Ahhhh ha ha ha, just the kind of response I was expecting from you, very good, perfect lying libidiot reply, thanks for not disappointing. By the way, very good writing of the second amendment, now try to find someone to explain it to you. You may want to ask yourself how gun shops can, legally, sell guns to anyone that doesn’t have proof they are in, “A well regulated Militia. Haven’t you ever wondered about that?
tracey marie December 14th, 2014 at 18:50
finish the complete amendment . Your kind always brietbart which is lying
Steve Harmon December 14th, 2014 at 19:21
Please do try to follow along, will you? Okay, to humor you, are probably referring to the first part that mentions the Militia. If that is what you are referring to then maybe you, unlike the other lying libidiot that I’ve had conversations with, can explain how it is that hundreds of millions of guns have been legally sold to citizens, like me, without the requirement to prove our affiliation with or to any Militia. Please address that for us all little one. Poor thing, you try so hard, so sad.
Steve Harmon December 14th, 2014 at 19:22
“Your kind always brietbart which is lying”? What is it you are trying to say?
ted December 13th, 2014 at 22:57
You might want to have someone READ the Constitution to you sometime. A bunch of beer guzzling skeered yahoos with an IQ that matches their belt size, packing heat because there is potentially a boogieman in the produce aisle at Kroger does not meet the definition of a “well regulated militia”.
Steve Harmon December 14th, 2014 at 10:33
I always keep a copy near so as to educate the ignorant, such as yourself. Any questions that I may help clear up for you? You may want to re-read the 2nd amendment. When you do, you will find it refers to two different things, one being “a well regulated militia and secondly, the right of the people. I am not in a militia and, when I legally purchased my firearms, over the years, was never asked to prove that I was. How’s that possible, an ignorant libidiot, such as yourself, might ask. It’s all there in the 2nd amendment. Pisses you off to be wrong but that’s exactly what all you little whiners are, wrong. To prove that, you can’t point to one SCOTUS decision that finds I must be in a militia in order to, legally, own firearms. Ha ha, you lose, but you already knew that, didn’t you little one. There, there, it’s okay, someday you’ll learn. That’s why I’m here, to teach, you’re welcome. Merry Christmas.
ted December 14th, 2014 at 11:16
Just because there is a comma there doesn’t mean it is talking about “two different things” and the intent was so the colonies could defend themselves from tyranny. It doesn’t say anything about a bunch of insecure, paranoid, neurotic, skeered, John Wayne wannabes who need a gun to feel like a man.
Steve Harmon December 14th, 2014 at 11:43
Okay then, I’ll ask again, how is it that guns may be sold to those of us that have no affiliation to or with a Militia? You certainly enjoy throwing out your fantasy descriptions of gun owners and I find it very entertaining to see that when you know that your argument is weak that attempted denigration is always your “go-to”. So predictable and funny. Can’t wait for your reply, ha ha.
charles johnston December 15th, 2014 at 09:47
Wow, Ted. Congratulations. I don’t believe I have ever read a more disjointed, stupid, strawman example of the 2nd amenedment. You should probably have somebody read YOU the bill of rights first.

50% of UK home invasions are hot burglaries but only 10% of US homes.
Studies of criminals show they are less willing (68%) to burglarize an occupied home in US because someone there could be armed.
Obewon December 16th, 2014 at 07:29
U.S. Murder figures themselves are astounding for Brits used to around 550 murders per year. In 2011 – the latest year for which detailed statistics are available – there were 12,664 murders in the US. Of those, 8,583 were caused by firearms.
32,163 in the USA were killed by guns in 2010 and another 70,000+ are shot each costing $174 Billion. http://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2011/jan/10/gun-crime-us-state FBI/CDC Guns shoot 22-43 times more friends and family in the USA than any intruder e.g. this articles Open Carry TX and OCTC gun nuts double murder momicide.

what studies, some gun group
amongoose December 16th, 2014 at 08:59
And a study by an anti gun group would carry weight like the everytown study on school shootings that included after hours shootings, gang related shootings, accidental discharges by school resource officers, and suicides is legitimate?
While technically correct they are disingenuous at best.
As with anyone with an agenda you have to dig a bit sometimes.
Guns in the home do deter crime, according to a new study done for the U.S. Department of Justice by James Wright.
Wright, a professor of sociology at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, surveyed more than 1,800 inmates, all convicted of felonies, in 10 state prisons across the nation. He found that 80 percent reported that burglars avoid houses when people are home because ”they fear getting shot during the crime.”

We don’t want background checks on the gun, but the person who wants to own the gun. You are a fool if you think it is the gun that scares us.

ted December 14th, 2014 at 11:06
Why? Are you too stupid to Google it yourself? Well, here ya go Jethro:
In 2010, unintentional firearm injuries caused the deaths of 606 people.
Between 1955 and 1975, the Vietnam War killed over 58,000 American
soldiers – less than the number of civilians killed with guns in the
U.S. in an average two-year period
From 2005-2010, almost 3,800 people in the U.S. died from unintentional shootings.
Over 1,300 victims of unintentional shootings for the period 2005–2010 were under 25 years of age.
People of all age groups are significantly more likely to die from
unintentional firearm injuries when they live in states with more guns, relative to states with fewer guns. On average, states with the highest gun levels had nine times the rate of unintentional firearms deaths compared to states with the lowest gun levels.
A federal government study of unintentional shootings found that 8%
of such shooting deaths resulted from shots fired by children under the age of six.
Steve Harmon December 14th, 2014 at 11:38
Yup, that’s me, too stupid. Now lets get to some more “facts”. As many as 200,000 women use a firearm each year to defend themselves from sexual attacks, even anti-gun Clinton researchers concede that guns are used 1.5 million times annually for self defense, citizens shoot and kill at least twice as many criminals as police do every year (1527 to 606), every year as many as 500,000 defend themselves with a firearm while away from home, State which passed concealed carry laws reduced their rate of murder 8.5%, rape by 5%, aggrivated assault by 7% and robbery by 3%. See, we both have “facts”, so what? How many of the civilians that you mention having died from gunshots (in the thousands as you mentioned) were criminals? How will you disarm those that possess guns illegally? Whine all you want, libidiot, you anti-gunners will never win and us “tin foil hat wearing, beer belly, blah blah blah, Patriotic Americans will not be disarmed, as long as we follow the law, and that pisses elitist losers like you off to no end, ha ha ha, we win, you lose.
Steve Harmon December 12th, 2014 at 11:10
Why? You really trust the Govt with that info? How does that stop those that aren’t law abiding? Why not just subject every American to a mandatory “detailed psychological work up”? 92, on average, per day killed in auto accidents, what would you have the Govt do about that?
