He's been arrested or detained numerous times for walking around town with guns. His charges were all eventually dismissed, which may explain why he wasn't arrested on Wednesday as he paraded up and down the sidewalk in front of Hillsboro High School.

Witnesses say Embody was pacing Hillsboro Road, dressed much like a soldier, and it had a lot of people nervous. So nervous that 911 dispatchers had their hands full.

Good for him. A right is no longer a right if no one is willing to exercise it.

Demonstrates for what? The reporter didn’t tell us what the “leaflet” said, and neither did he.

The television station did work at demonizing you. I thought you handled it pretty well.

I don’t really “demonstrate”. I simply carry a firearm and handout leaflets. When I think of demonstrators I think yelling, chanting, big signs, etc.
The leaflets are simply small pieces of paper with a paraphrasing of the second and fourth amendments. They have a dual purpose. They will be admitted into evidence in any criminal charge against me or a civil action that I bring.

It is really difficult to counter the view of the editor. The news will always slant and edit video, audio, or print to their view.
The only reason I do interviews is to bring awareness to the fact that people have a right to bear arms.

The rifle with the silencer in the interview was a 5.45x39. The rifle I have been carrying lately is of Russian manufacture, Tula. An antique 1895 finnish m39.
