A group of about a dozen armed veterans in Lebanon, Tennessee have started watching over the Wilson County Veteran’s Memorial to avert potential looters and vandals from desecrating the site.

Veteran Keith Sikora said they are not there to fight and simply want to send a message to those seen on TV rioting and destroying public and private property during the Black Lives Matter protesters.

“A show of force can be a very powerful deterrent. We’re not here to fight, unless we have to,” Sikora said.

Snipers in high positions would be much more effective

But this is a start!

What are their “Rules of Engagement”? Are they equipped with automatic weapons? Machine guns? Grenades? Miniguns? Flamethrowers? Tanks?

Or do they just have symbolic weapons?

Describe a “symbolic weapon”, please.

And then state whether you’d like to be perceived as a threat by someone holding one.

I told Her that He'll be getting a Daisy Red Rider BB Gun from the Local D.E. Turner Hardware Store by that time/age.

This quaint hardware store remains the same as it was when it opened in this location more than 100 years ago. The owners have kept many examples of 19th and 20th century hardware to see. Built in 1899 to serve the growing community of Mooresville, to this day, this historic building and the interior fixtures remain unchanged. Homemade soaps, canning supplies, cast iron cookware, carpenter bee...
