Reports from Ferguson have been uncertain as to who may be attempting to prevent protection of private property.

As much as I support the police, I recognize that almost 100% of their activity is either enforcing laws or solving crimes. Crime prevention activity is limited by their inability to be at a crime scene during the actual commission of the crime. When seconds count...

It has been reported that federal agents in Ferguson have ordered some Oathkeepers to stop protecting property…

I would be shocked… SHOCKED… to find that Bill Ayers' big-eared buddy or (nominally former BP) Eric Holder would have federal agents kneecap the average law-abiding Americans' right to protect themselves. It's… uh... "inconceivable."

While I prefer to CCW, this is the best argument I’ve ever read for open carry laws.

If you cannot open carry, you cannot form informal militias to protect your property and livelihood.

Brilliant!

The Oath Keepers were shut down "for operating w/o a license". Find out who makes that determination and you likely end up very close to those making the decisions...

It has been reported that federal agents in Ferguson have ordered some Oathkeepers to stop protecting property, under the pretext that they needed a license to do so.

Where in the hell do the feds get off thinking they have ANY authority in this matter? The identity of each and every fed that issued such an order needs to be identified and published!

In a novel by Angela Thirkell* it was mentioned totally in passing how, when some sort of disorder occurred in an Australian city. movie house mgt. called for veterans with arms in the audience to come to the aid of authorities * under another name. the title IIRC: Trooper to the Southern Cross
