Agent provocateur
I have been an avid follower of this site for a very long time, and a supporter of CC and OC i personally CC myself with time spent in the military as a U.S Army MP with tours in Iraq.
I have personal information regarding this story as we will call it. I would like to first off say that what you may have heard from the original story is not the truth of what actually happened this day.
I am here to set the record straight and what you all choose to believe is your businesses. Mr. Cory did brandish his fire arm at the school bus. Here is a classic case of road rage due to not getting his way being stuck behind slow moving school bus's in a rush or what ever happened. Drawing a fire arm while driving down a road is not smart in the first place but doing it in front of or near a school bus loaded with children is something in it's own. You all should do better to remember that both of the bus's where loaded with Children... Now I know some of you all know how the rite way to carry a weapon, plain and simple. Now lets hear the wrong way. It goes like this and these are the real truthful facts of what actually happened. Mr. Cory was driving his white Subaru down the road he was agitated we can assume from being stuck behind slow moving school bus's, he proceeded to pass the school bus and rite before a light he cut over in front of the lead school bus he then proceeded to make gestures at the school bus. He then proceeded to pull a handgun from a unseen location and hold it up at rear view mirror height while loading a magazine into his weapon. The bus driver with a load of CHILDREN was in fear of the safety of the kids on board. Those are the facts and for the statements of the bus driver changing his story over in over.. that is no true, the bus driver has had the same story since the incident happened i know because i heard his original statement along with the statement he gave both times in court. Mr. Cory is the only person who has changed his story multiple times, he stated first he didn't even have a weapon in his hand then he went on later to say that he did and he was placing it in a holster....
Now again i fall back on my years of experience with weapons and the majority of weapons i have handled and used... and i pose the same question to you all. I have never once needed to draw my weapon while in my personal vehicle for any reason. I have pulled my weapon out of my holster to place it in a locked location when i was entering a business or court or other location that does not permit firearms. I have never needed to load my weapon for any reason while i was in my personal vehicle (kinda dumb in my eyes to walk out of my house carrying a unloaded weapon)
I am stating the truthful facts for everyone so that i can maybe get threw to some of you all that are donating money to someone who is truly guilty of not only stupidity but endangering the life of children plain and simple.
Also this seems to have spawned a new thing for some of you all, I have first hand knowledge that someone who has been following this story has approached people who work for the school and threatened them. I pose the question is that who we want to be known as? A group of thugs carrying guns who threaten people?
I personally carry my firearm to protect my family, myself and anyone who may be in danger within reason.
I know for a fact just by reading the comments and statements people have said here that none of y'all actually have the real facts. I have given them to you so before you jump all down my throat or fire off response's think about it for one second.. The person in question making the statement that this man brandished his firearm is a gun enthusiast himself an avid hunter. Who knows how to use and operate a fire arm as well as most of us. What would he have to gain by saying this man did all this? No monetary gains nothing he gained has helped him at all.
So again think for a minute about it. Not everyone is out to stop us from using our rites and just maybe this guy didn't acutally do what he told everyone he has done. Every person in jail always says there innocent they didn't commit the crime. .5% it's actually true but the rest the are guilty, and this gentleman is guilty. He is lucky he didn't get anything worse with all the hype of school shootings and crazy people with guns. Are jobs as supporters of our Rites is to educate and inform people of the truth not to play into the stereo type.
I just hope some of you will come to your sense and think how smart of an idea it was to play with a firearm in front of a school bus or anyone you don't intend to kill.. That's the motto don't point it at anything your not willing to kill.
Thanks for reading, and if i wasted your time sorry but you all deserve to know the truth.

Extremely strange post after a hiatus of 5 years.
I would have thought with this wealth of information (personal first hand knowledge?) that you would have been called as a prosecution witness in both trials. Yet you were not. That alone casts a shadow on your claims. Somehow I suspect you were not on the scene at all - therefore everything you have said/implied would be hearsay at best and untruthful on the face of it, because you claim to
know the truth.
Then there is the matter of being behind a slow moving school bus - you apparently chose to ignore than MR Corry had a video cam running. He was never "behind" the bus.
He also did not load the gun, insert the magazine while in the car. It was already loaded with a magazine - he tapped the mag to make sure it was seated.
He did
not point the gun at anyone. He did not play with the gun. It was impossible for his gun to be viewed via a rear vision mirror.
You play the "children" card as an ace in the hole - children present does not make having a gun a crime.
We also have a
transcript of both trials and are fully aware of where inconsistencies have occurred and they were not Mr. Corry's.
You again claim first hand knowledge (you were there again?) of a threat made to people who work for the school and threatened them. There is a proper response to such acts and posting unfounded statements not supported by evidence is not one of those.
The Brandishing law is not constructed so that the imagined fear of a person equates to guilt. Intent is fundamental to the charge and was distinctly lacking in this case. If a threat was made, then the more correct charge would have been Assault.
It occurs to me that to have been present (1st hand knowledge) of all of these incidents, that the only person that might have been in that position was the arresting officer and I don't recall his being on the bus, or the bus driver who would not have been there when Mr. Corry made his first statement......hmmmm....things just don't add up.
Normally I thank our military personnel for their service, but when that service is used as a symbol for veracity when assumptions, deceptions, exaggerations, and inaccuracies are so rampant, then I cannot extend that courtesy.
Actually, I appreciate your lengthy post as it will allow our readership to see the depth to which some will go to distort and demean the truth. Your post is herewith stamped
FAIL.
