On the morning of March 20th, 2014, Joe “Liberty Carrots,” Nemi Jones, Riaz Kahan and I went to the Manchester-Boston Regional Airport to support the First and SecondAmendments to the United States Constitution. Joe was the creative star of this activism effort, stopped multiple times by airport security and threatened with arrest for handing out free copies of the monthly liberty newspaper FPPNews from Free Press Publications.
No airport security agents or police questioned the fact that Joe was open-carrying a rifle. They did, however, take great issue with our exercise of free speech and expression:
Our country is in the damn toilet. For any of these guys that were there violating your rights, they should all be fired. Period. To follow this peaceful man around, wasting resources is pathetic. The chief of police should have told the airport authority nazi that the man was committing no crime and that he would not support his harassment.
