Three North Carolina men fearing a government takeover and martial law stockpiled weapons, ammunition and tactical gear while attempting to rig home-made explosives, according to charges announced by the Justice Department on Monday.

The men from Gaston County, near Charlotte, were arrested by federal authorities on Saturday after more than a month's investigation.

Walter Eugene Litteral, 50, Christopher James Barker, 41, and Christopher Todd Campbell, 30, are accused of stockpiling guns and ammunition, as well as attempting to manufacture pipe bombs and live grenades from military surplus "dummy" grenades, according to the statement by Acting U.S. District Attorney Jill Westmoreland Rose and FBI Special Agent in Charge John Strong.

In the age of Obama and his disciples, everything that does not worship the Government or glorify the Democrat Party is illegal.

They are in the same category as Al Sharpton’s debt to the IRS.

Remember the world War 2 slogan: Loose lips sink ships!

I would bet the ranch against a donut that they were persuaded to partake of the explosive aspect by a " friend of a friend". Recall Randy Weaver?

I prep because Homeland Security and FEMA told me it was a good thing to be prepared for an emergency. Thank goodness the federal government tells me what to do and I do it.

It won't do any good. The operative will already have documents prepared that will confirm that he or she are as they purport to be.

The best defense is to never forget two things: 1. Loose lips sink ships, or my ass. 2. The only sure way two people can keep a secret is that if one of them is dead. And as a bonus: Even a fish would not get caught if he kept his mouth shut. That one, however is not foolproof, there are nets and seines. But it does cut down the odds considerably.

“AND THE WINNER IS”

Thanks so much for making me the winner as this is the first time I got that from you. :o)

I wish you and I could sit down together and compare notes as to what we have done and are doing preparing for an uncertain future. Every day more happens to propel this country into the dumper.

Eighth Rule of Prep Club: If this is your first time to Prep Club, you HAVE to buy all other preppers a shot.

I don't know what this Prep Club is, but I like this rule.

We can do it by FR sign up date.

No but making bombs and grenades is illegal.
