POST FALLS, Idaho  —  Two home-schooled teenagers in this northern town say they are carrying loaded guns to the library, grocery store and other public areas for self-defense, as a crime deterrent, and to educate others about their rights.

, 18, carries a loaded on his hip. His 15-year-old brother, Steven, carries a in a sling on his back.

Police have been called on several occasions to question the teens but have not found the teens to be in violation of the law.

In Idaho, residents 18 and older can openly carry a firearm in public. And those ages 13 to 17 who have parental permission can carry a rifle in public.

The New Black Panther Party members openly tote semiauto rifles at just about every event they instigate here in Texas.

Has that been covered by the 'news' outlets?

I could ride my bike through downtown St. Augustine, Florida with my .22 rifle or a shotgun, from the time I reached 12 or 13, back around 1954. No one ever even noticed, or worried.

A far less hysterical time back then.  How far do you think that you would be able to make it through town today?   :-)

Yet another reason I love my adopted home state...Idaho. My 13 year old niece shoots an AR-15 better than most men I was in the Army with shot their -16s. I'd trust an Idaho teen with a firearm before I'd trust a Seattle cop.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Good for them! When I was growing up, my friends and I would go out goose hunting before school. We took our guns along to school and left them, unloaded in our unlocked vehicles, while we attended school. Never had a problem, no one ever bothered with them. Times have sure changed, and not for the better.

They sometimes show them in pictures, but fail to say anything in the text of news stories. The law forbids displaying them in a “threatening” manner, but darned if those low-lifes don’t look threatening in the pictures I’ve seen.

Even on Fox, the whole article is how threatening and unnecessary the carrying of firearms is.

But the last paragraph is worth the whole article:

“Zach said he’s not paranoid or a radical.”

“If I was an extremist, our founding fathers would all be extremists,” he said. “Without them, we wouldn’t have our independence. We’d be a disarmed British system of feudal subjectivity.”

The Black Panthers did the same thing here in California in the late 1960s which led to some of our ridiculous gun laws.
