Thank You PSU Community & Law Enforcement

by | Dec 9, 2011 | 4 comments

I would like to extend my thanks to the New Hampshire State Police, Grafton County Sheriffs Department, Plymouth Police, and the Plymouth State University Police for the professional manner in which they conducted themselves with regards to the outreach event we had at Plymouth State University today. Although I believe their large presence was a hyperbolic reaction to a peaceful demonstration against violation of state, constitutional, and natural law, it is my opinion they behaved exactly as police should behave when faced with opposing viewpoints.

I will state unequivocally now that although Tommy and I have no respect for the restraining order that was issued against us, we obeyed it. I did, however, hint several times throughout the day that no one knew if I was carrying a firearm or not. My intent wasn’t to be difficult, but to prove the point that criminals would not obey a piece of paper saying they couldn’t do something which is already horrific in the first place (murder). To all the PSU students who attended, thank you for sharing your viewpoints… in agreement or opposition. I again apologize for not picking the best day for this event and am very sorry for any logistical issue this may have caused you.

If you support firearm and self-defense freedom for yourself and your neighbors and want to help us, here are two things you can do:

1. We intend on presenting a thorough argument in opposition to the terrible restraining order that Judge Vaughn issued at the request of the University System of New Hampshire. The restraining order hearing is at 2:30PM next Tuesday (12/13/11). Come to support self-defense rights in New Hampshire and watch as the University System of New Hampshire does their best to erode them.

2. We are launching a chip-in to humbly ask for donations to help fund this legal battle. Initial reports are that $1,500 will fund the prosecution of this at the first level, the Grafton County Superior Court.

Stay tuned… more to come.

Plymouth State University Right to Carry Rally

Brad Jardis and Tommy Mozingo take questions from the crowd

It was showtime, and no one much desired to be the first to stand in the courtyard. In front of the Hartman Union Building (HUB) at Plymouth State University, first came the journalists, then the (technically) counter protesters. They were organized with signs. Their protest began as they stood in a line, more signs than students. A familiar cast from independent media streamed in. Sheriff’s deputies, state troopers and, to a much lesser extent, university police formed compacted columns at all major walkway points of entry.

The chalk sat locked in my trunk, but I bore two arms as I awaited Brad Jardis and Tommy Mozingo’s responsible gun carry outreach event. My customary sidearm, the Nikon Coolpix S570 sat mounted atop my telescopic tripod. On my hip was a spare battery and a fully unloaded 8 gigabyte SD card. Slung on my back, in a portable DVD player case that functions superior to any camera case I’ve seen for the purpose, was a a JVC mini DV camcorder with a single battery pack. The young dinosaur of the pre-digital age was at the ready in the case that I expended all of my digital video, or if any action required the 32x optical zoom capability. (more…)

Students Weigh-In Regarding Guns on Campus

by | Dec 8, 2011 | 34 comments

As you might expect, the students pretty much echo the talking points of the campus’ email they sent to all students, which had a link to Free Keene, so welcome to all PSU students visiting this blog for the first time!

One big fear seems to be how their fellow students will behave – they are referred to as “kids”, and treated as though they are just children. It’s clear evidence of the childification of America, where people who should be maturing adults are treated like kids all the way until their mid-twenties, when they are finally released from their academic womb into the real world. So because some people are irresponsible, everyone’s rights should be restricted!

Here’s self-shot vlog from another student: (more…)

Open Response to the Robed Man Who Believes He Controls This Blog

by | Dec 8, 2011 | 23 comments

If you’ve been reading this blog in the last week, you are aware of the controversy brewing around FK blogger and former cop Brad Jardis’ plan, along with former military member Tommy Mozingo, to walk onto the campus of Plymouth State University with guns, openly carried. Their purpose was to educate the students about their supposed right to carry weapons for self-defense. He announced it in advance here three days ago and since the government university system has been freaking out.

Now they have gone to the “Grafton Superior Court” to save them from the peaceful gun rights demonstration and outreach event. A man who wears a robe has decreed some pretty outrageous stuff in a “TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER”, issued today to Brad and Tommy.

First, Brad and Tommy are “enjoined” from carrying any weapons on any state university campus, including Keene State and UNH. But not just Brad and Tommy (more…)
