Willmar man accused of impersonated a U.S. Army Ranger at military events around the county has pleaded guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm. Fifty-three-year-old Richard Rahn pleaded guilty Thursday in Kandiyohi County District Court to two counts of being a felon in possession of a firearm. Because of his plea, charges of “obstruction of the legal process” and “possession of a firearm while bowhunting” were dismissed. Rahn was arrested last fall after Willmar police searched a home on the 600 block of Second Street Southwest on Sept. 9, 2014, on suspicion that Rahn was illegally possessing guns. Rahn was previously convicted of felony burglary and felony drug possession, among other convictions.

Be aware that there's also an economist named Richard Rahn who IS NOT THIS GUY.
The Willmar Police Department said they had received numerous complaints that Rahn was seen at events throughout the county impersonating a U.S. military officer. He has not been charged in connection to the alleged impersonation.
R-A-N-G-E-R
N is nowledge...
We had enough Vets with us to pick apart any story.
Ironic seeing this on here. I am sitting across the street from the courthouse where he entered his guilty plea. This guy is a nut case. Small world...
I liked one response I got when I asked a poseur which unit he was with.
“I was with the 583rd Airborne Division.”
I am still amazed at the number of Vietnam Era people that claim to be vets but in two minutes of talking to them you realize they were never in the military. Most of them I have encountered have been at the range with a dirty AR-15 and wild stories.
If the guy’s 53 he was born in 1962 or thereabouts. He’d have been 11 years old when the Americans and the North Vietnamese concluded the Treaty of Paris. I think you have to be at least 12 to be an Army Ranger or have an excuse from yer Mom...
LOL!
I had one guy trying to convince me that he really was a Lance Corporal in the army. Somehow, I found his story unbelievable.
I always enjoyed the blank look when I
asked a guy I knew was lying about military
service what their mos was.
The last one said he didn`t remember...ha ha
Until they changed over to using Social Security numbers, the service number question was always a good one. Anybody who’s been through boot camp has had that number indelibly imprinted on his brain. Even today, I can rattle mine off without even thinking about it and I’ve been out for almost 40 years.
Same here about the SS#.
Also the same length of time since service.
Course keep the # fresh with always having
to answer last four at VA when signing in.
