“Mr. Dutton, a military veteran, has been preparing for the economic collapse of the world. In addition to gathering a large supply of non-perishable items, he also has a modest collection of firearms and ammunition.”

And this is a violation of what law??

Hell, the government stockpiles all kinds of crap—when are they going to be arrested??

claymore mines aren’t on my prep list

Just think if his name was Habib something!!...

I teach my grandkids: "How many people does it take to keep a secret?"

Answer: "One. Any more than that, it isn't a secret any more."

[Drew68]

I suspect it was the hobby of "making fireworks" that did him in.

[stuartcr]

You’re on the wrong forum then...

They'd be on mine if I thought I could get them.

[Oberon]

Or, as the Russians used to say, “Three men can keep a secret, if two of them are dead.”

[stuartcr]

Doesn’t a secret have to involve more than one person? Otherwise, seems it would just be a thought that you didn’t tell anyone.

Over here...

Mr. Dutton was subsequently charged with with knowingly possessing destructive devices, more fully described as five incendiary bombs (Count I) and nine grenades (Count II). He was convicted under Federal Law and sentenced to serve 21 months in prison.

This is a level beyond “prepping”.

I have ammo. I am not stocking grenades.

[WKUHilltopper]

I think it odd the article also had to mention the other items...implying or maybe suggesting this too is a violation of some law.

[martinidon]

It was the grenades and the fuses that did him in. You can't store bomb making stuff, especially ion an apartment. This man needs to be locked up.

Secrets involve more than just thoughts. No one else need be involved. How many people know today's launch codes for ICBMs?

Secrets also might involve actions, hard information, or observations.

It is not revealing that knowledge or action which makes it secret--and keeps it that way.

I am, I'm just letting the national guard store them for me until needed. They also have my M1A1 and A-10 /s (this added for the ATF bastards who monitor FR)

[Gargantua]

"I suspect it was the hobby of "making fireworks" that did him in."

Nah. Wrong. It was the scumbag Joe Scott who finked on him that did him in. And before that could happen, he made the mistake of trusting "Finky" Joe. That combination "did him in."

I 'd hazard that "Finky" Joe Scott should be thinking about relocating before this dude gets out of stir. He'll probably spend the next 21 months very carefully planning how to express his displeasure to Mr. Finky without it ever being traced back to him.

Human nature being what it is, and all.

N'yuk, n'yuk, n'yuk.

I'm not, either--nothing illegal, in fact, and I aim to keep it that way. The idea is that it won't help to prep if you end up in prison.

[stuartcr]

More than one person knows the launch codes.

So everything anyone does or thinks that no one else knows about, is a secret?
