I recently had a discussion about lawsuits against local governments. I expressed the opinion that we could OC into almost any police station or Sheriff's office and, at a minimum be asked to leave and denied access to public services. I'd be glad to join you in Owingsville for a visit to the police station whenever it is convenient.

With a private citizen or a public official? I only ask because I'm curious how that conversation went.

Is there a police station or Sheriff's office that you believe we couldn't?

What if we don't leave? Trespassing charges? I wonder.

It will probably be the last week of June or the first week of July. I am on vacation those 2 weeks and would rather do it then just in case part of my vacation consist of me spending a few nights in the "stoney lonesome motel." Don't have to worry about work that way. The day I was there the Asst. Chief kept saying "you know better than that." I responded twice saying "no, you can't bring a concealed gun into a police station" in hopes of getting the response "you can't bring a gun in here, period", but he never bit.

Do we have to bring bail money or would it be provided for us? Give me some advance notice and I would join you. I don't know these people, but I don't think it would be anything we would need to invite the press to. Just a couple of OCers talking to local Law enforcement about the "recent" law change.

In all seriousness, I will try to secure financial/legal support before I poke the bear. When I said guys with camera I didn't mean the media. I meant one of you to film the arrest so I can use it in court later to show that I wasn't resisting, screaming, threatening, singing, dancing or anything else that they try to pin on me to make it stick. I have talked, written and recorded the "new law" with them more than once. I think it may be about bluffing (on their part) now. They will either have to arrest or admit they don't have a leg to stand on.

I can do it if you wish. I don't think it would be a difficult rap to beat and I have never stayed in a state funded resort. I can stay in jail long enough to sort it out.

I think usually one or two OCers go and talk to them calmly and get things done. I don't know if we would have to make a scene with cameras and such to do what we have to do.

If we don't need a camera crew then I think it would be best handled without it, on the same note though, I would rather have one and not need it than to not have one and need it.

I was using "press" in the older meaning of the word.
