Easy to say.
I had law enforcement called on me because I was carrying an AR-15. It’s a long story but I knew they were coming.
3 county and 5 city cars, about 12-15 in all.
According to my girlfriend they said “they were going to kill me”. Quote.
I had put up my weapon and was watching t.v. when they came for me. Put me in jail and confiscated my weapon.
Took me a year for case to be dismissed. Prosecutor wanted to keep my AR. My attorney would have nothing of it. Me neither.
I did what I did “because I could”. That’s what I told the cops and that’s the truth.
Because I can is no reason to kill or get killed. So, I chickened out. I’d have just been a statistic, cops would have just been a statistic. I had’em all under a streetlight, sitting ducks. Dumbasses.
Sometimes it’s difficult to know when it is finally time to stand up for your Constitutional rights. I failed. I guess. Everyone’s still alive. I was just out the humiliation of a strip search, a while in jail, several thousand dollars. But at least no one died.
Sooner or later someone will have to die. And that’s just the truth. I hope I’ll never have to make that decision again. I guess it’ll have to be left up to a better patriot than me.
Could I have started a Revolution? Hell no. I’d have just been another crazy with a gun. And that’s how it will start. Hell, it may have already started. You just don’t know his name.
