Tea Party Patriots co-founder arrested for handgun at airport “While in temporary transit through the state of New York in possession of an unloaded, lawful firearm that was locked in a TSA-approved safe, he legally declared his possession of the fire arm in his checked baggage at the ticket counter as required by law and in a manner approved by TSA and the airline, yet was arrested by port authority for said possession.” http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/12/15/tea-party-patriots-co-founder-arrested-for-handgun-at-airport/ Once upon a time, in my idealistic years, I took a job at a Public Housing Project located in the Jamaica Plains area of Boston , MA. 3 teens jumped me on the grounds on my way to work. Lucky for me they settled for the $10 I had in my wallet. (It was the 2nd time I had been jumped that a year.) That night at home we discussed options. We decided it would be prudent to carry a weapon. The next Sunday I met with the Lynn Chief of Police who was on the church’s Finance Board which I chaired. He asked me one question, do you carry company cash in public. I did not, and he couldn’t issue me a license to carry.
After that, I had one of the supervisors drive me to and from el train where I felt safer. http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/Bernhard+Hugo+Goetz "Single acts of tyranny may be ascribed to the accidental opinion of the day; but a series of oppressions, begun at a distinguished period, and pursued unalterably through every change of ministers (adminstrators) too plainly proves a deliberate, systematic plan of reducing us to slavery." -- Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826), US Founding Father, drafted the Declaration of Independence , 3rd US President http://quotes.liberty-tree.ca/quote_blog/Thomas.Jefferson.Quote.B05A We the People http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVAhr4hZDJE -- To join RichsRants, send email to: [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/richsrants?hl=en
