Really? Why? Because he exists and has a gun and radio equipment? I know of bout 3500 Marines in the same boat.
You DO know your history, right? Hitler vilified and killed anyone that wasn't politically prudent for him to have around?
Dissidents, I tell you. Oh wait ... isn't THAT what the left claims to stand for?
Well, normally I would agree with you. The thing is though, I went to the last two years of HS at TC Roberson High, just a few miles from the Asheville airport.
We used to go out to the end of the runway and party when i was a kid. You can see the planes and all that, but its an empty area. That area is reallythe only part around the airport that isn't built up. So, that is likely where he was. Even when I was a kid, there were signs prohibiting firearms in that area. At that time the concern was probobly more like a stray bullet from some kid like me shooting rabbits would hit a plane.
I visited family last year, and that area now has signs that say you and your vehicle is subject to searches if you park there. The signs don't say you can't, justthat it is an area that is under observation, as it is right at the end of the runway.
The other thing is, people in NC just don't seem to carry firearms the way they do here in AZ, so I imagine someone armed, in an area at the end of the runway would be enough to cause people to call the police. the article in the Citizen times said that's what happened.
Just like with other laws, if he wasn't legal with his firearm, which he tacitly agreed to do when he came into the state, he should be charged.
Additionally, if he is in an area where "no firearms" is posted, I don't think it matters if the gun is legal or not. Even here in AZ, where most of us do carry guns, one would be arrested if one had a firearm in an area where it posted "no firearms".
