Sounds like NFAC met the WNFAEC crew.

I am of the opinion that:

All county Sheriffs should be elected
Only the Sheriff’s office is authorized a SWAT team
Only the SWAT team is able to execute a dynamic entry
Warrants need to be issued by a judge for a dynamic entry and only after:
1) peaceful attempts have been made to contact the individuals inside the location
2) the individuals have been given the opportunity to surrender

Further that no knock warrants require the signature of both the Sheriff and a judge. Each asserting that they have been provided evidence that there is probable cause to believe that the occupants represent a life and limb danger to others. And that during the execution of a no knock warrant, the officers are REQUIRED to be in uniform, and announce “Police - Warrant” multiple times while entering the location

An armed society is a polite society.

BTW, this article speaks to one of the reasons I moved from Seattle to rural KY nine years ago. And also to why Louisville doesn’t have a “CHOP”. But if they did it would be on Bardstown/Baxter road in the Highlands.

Completely agree with you. This sort of situation shows exactly why we’re all so much safer when everyone is lawfully armed. Nobody escalates because they understand the dire consequences of doing so. Everybody goes home safe.

In a way, it’s the small scale and personal version of “MAD”. :)

“...Since Kentucky allows open (or concealed) carrying of firearms without a permit..”

If Reagan were governor, he’d put an end to that...like he did in California.

” based in Atlanta”

I see no evidence of this repeated claim.

Ref the tagline. My dad used to say it with different emphasis:

STUPID should hurt - usually said after I did something really dumb

stupid SHOULD hurt - usually when I only hurt myself a little bit but complied about it anyway.

stupid should HURT - usually when I did something dumb ... twice. My dad’s way of saying that I did not learn my lesson the first time.

I thought Grandmaster Jay was whack as crap but overall NFAC behaved well, except for that nasty accidental discharge.

“...like he did in California.”

concealed carry in CA has always been at the sufferance of the local Sherriff or CoP.

No mention of it in the article, but three people were hit with shotgun pellets at this event. In my world, we call that being shot. No violence? Really?

I watched this even unfold, saw the people moving out of the way FAST. Also, the police were around the corner waiting for something to happen, but nothing did. They were very peaceful despite their presentation.

I listened to the words the man had to say and watched how his “soldiers” obeyed.

It was very interesting to hear him call out the main stream media as well.

There were some parts of what he said that I applauded. He’s not about racism, according to what he said. On the other hand, there were some other parts where I was like, “oh hell no”.

This man is the type of man you want at a table to discuss things with. He had some interesting things to say. I believe he’s filling the void that the vacuum left by elected officials have left open. Someone has to step up and this man literally seized the opportunity, whether or not you, we or I agree with him.

He claims that he & this militia will be back in 1 month. I guess that still remains to be seen.

Your thoughts? Would love to share.

This was after the Black Panthers conducted a very loud armed visit to the visitor section of the California House while it was in session.

Considering what actually transpired, it was not violence.

Accidental discharge from a shotgun when the wielder fell asleep is what I’ve read, but maybe I’m mistaken.
