Tombstone banned carrying guns in town and attempt to enforce it led to the OK Corral.

The charges were eventually dropped. While he never faced trial, the process was a considerable punishment.

Ah, yes, the crappy cop’s favorite saying: “You can beat the rap but you can’t beat the ride”...

Yep ... when public servants set themselves up as judge, jury, and executioner, they become public enemies.

Its harassment meant to scare others from similar behavior.

He was a typical liberal wuss... I’ve run into a bunch of them since I retired from the Marines.

“And by die on, you are willing to risk something: your money, time, reputation, job and maybe your life.”

Our founding fathers risked all of that in order for us to have a BOR. Apparently, value has a different meaning to you than to me. If you’re not willing to take risks, what does “value” mean? Musk has the opportunity to truly show his value of the BOR by setting an example on his own platform and chooses not to.

OK. I ask because a surprising number of these critters will go on ad nauseam about all the horrible things they believe they would do if they had a gun ... therefore nobody should have a gun. They're total nutcases; they project their insanity onto the rest of us.

It is amazing that they put him through this while the muslim grooming gangs are ignored.

The Muslims are part of the EU agenda.

“punish you for non-crimes”

Common in the US as well as Great Britain. Exercise freedom of speech at the Capitol. Arrested, thrown in jail.

Back when I was in IL speak out against the machine as Mike Baretto did: Execution or
maybe just suggest a variation as Ben Lewis did: Execution.

I have a friend that lives in Maryland, I will never go there because of those communists.

*************************************

Brother in Connecticut. I refuse to go in there. He wants to see me he has to come out.

Got brother and sister in Virginia. Not looking good.

Let’s not forget the first part of the first Amendment. Freedom of religion. That’s trampled on often. Without it, the rest of the Amendments fall like dominoes.

***************************************************

Second. Amendment. Is. Most. Important.

Without the means to fight back everything else is subject to whims of government.

I also recall that event!

He was FRom Tampa, FL, and it was long before we Floridians had Constitutional Carry protection.

IIRC, he was asked where his guns were, and he replied “At home, in my safe.”

So the [Nazi] MD cop asked his wife where her husband’s guns were, and her response — “I don’t know. I’m aFRaid of guns” apparently triggered the VERY THOROUGH search of their vehicle.

IIRC, it was a bogus traffic stop, right FRom the get-go. Routine license plate check revealed his FL concealed carry permit and led to the stop.

If you have a concealed carry permit, it is tied to you driver’s license and your auto tag!

Thanks for posting this story. I recall how offended I was when I read about it.

I have a sister in Kalifornia. I will not go there unless I’m armed, and their laws forbid it. So I cannot go. Sister is a lefty and is just clueless and does not understand.

While he never faced trial, the process was a considerable punishment. Mr. Richelieu-Booth was arrested, jailed overnight, and rendered unable to work for weeks...

Any time any gov't entity does something like this, where charges aren't brought, charges are dropped, or there is no guilty verdict, their department should, at absolute minimum, be responsible for 100% damages. Situations like this, where the arrest clearly shouldn't have happened in the first place, should warrant three or five or ten times damages.

The only exception to this is non-violent drunks who are dropped in the drunk tank and just released the next day.

The Second Amendment gives teeth to the BOR.

Kansas. The concealed permit is issued by the same folks who issue the driver license.

They’re tied. No doubt in my military mind.
