Here's the weasel. This Michigan Land Use Institute he founded is a bunch of insufferable busybodies who want to tell every land owner what he can and (mostly) can't do with his own private property. I am very glad that the open carry movement is getting under his skin.
I think-- speaking in historical, philosophical, and theoretical terms ONLY-- it's safe to say that this heap of dung and his fellow travelers in "aggressive, activist government" are exactly the kind of scum that our forefathers had in mind when they wrote the Second Amendment. A hundred years ago, subjecting the sturdy farmers of Michigan to this kind of tyrannical nonsense would have meant tar, feathers, and a ride on a rail, or even a rope. He should thank his lucky stars that the people in this story are peaceable and law-abiding citizens with a very, very high threshold for taking matters into their own hands.
Oderunt dum metuant.
