I am surprised, that you guys are surprised at this. While OC is in my view the purest form of "bearing" arms, it has fallen way out of fashion over the last 50 years.
Did you guys actually think you were not activists?Did you think you were not going to attract attention? While I do not view the events of September 11, 2001 as related to this movement at all, I do recognize that this country is a different place since then, and pushing the envelope in the area of OC against that backdrop is going to attract more attention than it would otherwise.
I don't remember which of you asked, but in this environment even the "Granny with a gun" is viewed with a sceptical eye. Itis not right, but it is the way things are. You are changing that, and chage scares people.
I would be surprised if there were not more LEOs here watching then there are non LEO members posting. That is how these things sometime work. The fact that they are recognizing this forum, means that you are winning. At least you can be reasonably certain that those of us in LE that admit we are, are not on the "Surveillance" team.
With all of that said, are there really any among you who do not realize that you are ALL modern day patriots, no different than the patriots who put their body and property in front of British troops 235 years ago? My god people look at the challenge, look at the opponents, and then look in the nearest mirror. YOU, that guy in that mirror, are all that stands between who and what we are today, and who and what we will become if we lose our right to keep and bear arms.
Because of that you scare the bejesus out of the opposition, and rightly so.
