I just got off the phone with Army Master Sergeant. C. J. Grisham, a serving American soldier and veteran of the the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, who recently was illegally disarmed by the Temple Police Department while out for a walk with his son.
“We live out in the country in Texas, near Temple,” he told me. “My son and I were on a ten-mile hike so that he could earn his hiking merit badge – it’s the last badge he needs to become an Eagle Scout.” But half way into the hike, Grisham said, “a police officer pulled up.” Initially, he was “cordial” and he “asked what we were doing.” Grisham told him. “Then he looked at my rifle. I carry a rifle any time I walk around because there are feral hogs and cougars and things like that.”
From here, things took a turn for the worse.
“‘Where you going with that rifle?’ he asked me. I said, ‘does it matter? Am I breaking any laws?’” Then, he says, the officer “grabbed the rifle without telling me – but it was attached to me. My immediate reaction as a combat veteran was to grab it back and then take a step back. I asked him what he was doing. So he pulled his gun on me. Then I thought about my son, so I put my hands off my gun and he told me to move over to the car. Luckily my son had the video camera to document the hike for his merit badge. I told him to turn it on.”

Understand. Thanks.
I went to the PayPal button, located where you said it would be.
PayPal said it was suspended, closed, blah, blah, blabber, blabber.
I know their management is Libtard, but it seems they are out of line, assuming it is their faulty decision to close the account.
Well, his mailing address is on there and I am mailing him a check.
Here in n.east California, we have the best 2yr gunsmithing course, in the United States. There is open carry, all the time. Swing and a miss, Red Steel.
All you apologists, can kiss your own azz, since your head is there anyhow. Morons. Bootlickin’ morons, every last one of ya.
I concur.
My decision, too. But could PayPal be that crass? or was there another reason.
BS
Well that's nice being in E. Cali away from LA and San Fran, however, Kalifornia gun laws have a lot to be desired, and "swing and miss" my ass. The 'operative word' I said here is "maybe" as seen above. There are people on this dumb thread who like to read more into posts that are just not there, and fill in the blanks with their imaginations.
You.Bet.
In the words of our PRESidENT "The police acted stupidly".
Your mind appears right. You should do well in commander zero’s “new normal”.
I have no idea. I didn’t hear about this story till last week.
