The rally was planned just days after a similar one got out of hand in downtown Calgary, after an opposing group showed up.
Police were at the Jewish Centre as people came into the building, and stopped a man at the entrance after he was observed to have a weapon on him.
It turns out he was carrying an air gun, and was taken into custody. He’s expected to be charged with having a weapon dangerous to the public.
