Should Have Held Out For A New House.

Carry your guns, people!

From The Advocate and WBRZ News 2 Louisiana: (via WND)

A man was out flexing his rights, and was arrested for it.

This is why we must flex our rights: so that we will educate the police (!) and our fellow citizens.

He is not an open-carry advocate (like some of us), but he does demand that his rights are respected.

Note: rights are against the government.

So now the local government has made a settlement with him that would buy a new motorcycle. If he contacted the right lawyers this could have gone to a very solid precedent, but I'm not going to question the man's actions when he was proven right by the city's settlement and did what he thought was the appropriate thing to do to end the matter.

Good for him for at least bringing suit. I wish more folks like him would. But if they were willing to settle for new-bike price settlement, how about new car or even new house? Maybe a fired policeman and mandatory training of the rest? Wow, monday-morning quarterbacking is easy.

Bill Lodge: it's a revolver, not a pistol. That's about the same amount of difference between a train and a bus. At least you almost described the caliber correctly, and managed to be fairly even-handed towards an upstanding gun-toting member of the community.

Mark Marchiafava: congratulations!
