Just thought I'd share.
"I had my first encounter with an open carry activist yesterday. He was standing outside at the District Court House with a SKS assault rifle. "Call came out AK-47" The Courts went on Lock Down and the Police were called. He was just out enjoying the day carrying his assault rifle and handing out stickers on his rights to carry. He was with his other 3 buddies and they had their little recorders out and ready for a confrontation with a Law Enforcement Officer. I’m all for people’s rights and their right to open carry and actually that’s part of my job, you know to help protect your rights as a citizen. Did it for our Country as a Marine and now do it on the domestic front for our local town as a Police Officer? What I don’t like is, this guy was one of our local thugs who loves to cause problems. I let him say his spill and let him advise me of the law on his rights while his buddies stood by and smiled while recording our conversation. I doubt the incident will be on you tube anytime soon because I made sure that what he recorded was not only his demonstration and confrontation with Police but also that, I already knew who he was and where he currently resided, that he’s been arrested several times for theft , public disorder and drunkenness, that he likes to cause problems with citizens in the community then run away when the Police are called, that his passion in life is to break into cars at night and steal property that belong to other people, that he’s a high school dropout and currently does not hold a job and lives off of welfare. Told him that I know what he was doing and that was trying to provoke an incident with Law Enforcement so WE could make a mistake and he could then sue the City for a nice little pay day and make a neat you tube video. He assured me that he wasn’t trying to cause problems and he was just out and about demonstrating his right to carry and that he knows the laws and follows the laws of the Geneva Convention. The last one kind of threw me off a little. I did not know that KY or Winchester was part of the NATO Alliance Peace Treaty. This guy truly gave the honest law abiding citizens a bad name, lucky for me that I knew who this guy was and that I had studied these type of people who try to set up the Police for a quick law suit and pay day and that I was prepared for this incident. You would think that an honest person or true Patriot who exercises his rights probably would not be out exercising his right to carry out on the Court House Lawn, causing the Court House to go on lock down and intentionally provoke an encounter with Law Enforcement."
