Alyssa Milano protested the NRA while armed security protected her

Published May 7, 2018 2:59pm ET



The annual NRA convention held in Dallas last week wasn’t just a chance to brandish guns or boast about the Second Amendment. For at least one Hollywood celebrity, it was a chance to get caught up in a little bit of hypocrisy of her own making.

Alyssa Milano showed up at the convention on Saturday, at NoRA, an event meant to protest the National Rifle Association and the organization’s unabashed support for the Second Amendment. However, it was clear that she was accompanied by some form of private security, likely associated officially with the protest or with herself — and that security was armed. A man named Will Haraway, an NRA member, asked a member of Milano’s security detail if he was armed, which he was. The guard then firmly asked Haraway to move away from the protest, backing into him so he was forced to walk backwards onto the sidewalk, even though Haraway had every right to attend the protest.
