Timothy Campbell alleges he saw God and started his own religion called Timothean. He runs a YouTube Channel where he explains his Anti-Gun views, some of which include using sniper rifles (please ignore the hypocrisy) in public, to kill what he calls “Gun Nuts” at a street fair in Michigan.

In the video below he proposes making two classes of people, those with guns and those without. Then creating entire schools and work places for each group. You’d have gun free factories and gun filled factories. He think the separation of the classes should be federally mandated and enforced :) But I’ll let him explain.

According to him he’s converted many gun owners and they’ve given up there guns. So I just wanted to give you an opportunity to see how far the Anti-Gun mentality can go, apparently to the point of violence against gun owners.

“My poverty, but not my will consents.”

A week ago a livermore resident (Walter) was rudely stopped by men doing business as ‘Livermore Police Department’. They came with guns drawn to invoke an old racist California penal code that authorizes (not mandates) officers to inspect an openly carried weapon to determine it’s unloaded. A stupid law Californian OCers agree. Bare in mind that it is still legal to have ammo with you just no in the gun.

These armed men knew Walter and called out to him by name. Then proceeded to treat him as if he had robbed the grocery store he just left and not patronized it. When local police know Walter by name and reputation, are these actions appropriate? Would the same action be taken with a man of higher “status”? If the local police knew that Mr. Warbucks (the town’s entrepreneurial millionaire) enjoyed exercising his natural human right to self protection, would they treat him the same?

The answer is NO! Both the department and it’s officers would be apprehensive that there action would garner retaliation under color of law (42 U.S.C. §1983). Under our current justice system only those wealthy enough to fight will see justice, all others will need hone up on their boot licking skills or fight fire with fire.

The system that is cracking down on Walter in the video above it based in violence and the overbearing threat of violence. If Walter held his head up high knowing he had not broken any laws and just ignored the violent men doing business as “LPD” he would have been beaten into submission (compliance) or worse. There is no way to sugar coat this.

If you are unable to pay the exorbitant legal costs of defending yourself against these private businesses you will need determine where your line in the sand is and guard it. I’ve drawn my line. I’ve taken an ass beating for much less. Since I know this website is read by lots of local departments and the FEDs I’ll say this, If you want to try and violate my human rights you had better be working on those perishable skills.

Thank you Nate (Pullnshoot25) for debating the ‘correct’ side on this issue. How do I know it’s the correct side? It’s the only position that doesn’t infringe on decent people’s rights. Oh and for new readers to the site, people do not have a “right” to feel safe. Nate, you handled yourself very well and were able to quote things from memory and not a script, showing your dedication to preserving individual right.

Lots of misdirection and spin on the Assemblywoman’s part. I like how she describes a situation where an open carrier could hold up a store and claims “that’s exactly what did happen”, only to change her story to point to a situation that had nothing to do with someone failing to pay for their lunch or robing the place. Misdirection and lies on her part. If they had a case of an open carrier (a real on not a brandishing criminal) they’d be singing it on the mountain or taking out an ad on TV.

Below is the video someone took in the front row and was later posted on Pullnshoot’s YouTube page (you should subscribe to his channel)

Searching for “Open Carry” on YouTube, I found MrLockAndLoad‘s channel. I agree with his assessment that people are a bit too focused on the “Hollywood” version of guns. My favorite Hollywood gun myth is that guns brought from the ready position to eye level make a metallic racking sound (strange, mine must be broken).

East Palo Alto Press Release

I attended the protest geared at getting the city of East Palo Alto to give attention to the slow, conflict of interest ridden, “investigation” of Rod Tuason. Only to discover upon arriving that the police department put out a timely press release to announce that they found his actions “unbecoming of an officer”.

The public will still have to wait to see what punishment is laid out for Det. Tuason.  My guess, “training”.

I bet this guy is kicking himself for bringing so much attention to the Open Carry movement he was so put off by. So thanks Rod ;)

Media Coverage: KTVU and a clip from CBS 5 to come shortly.

Another life saved or disaster averted by the presence of a gun. The owner only needed to fire a warning shot to say “hey, we’re armed and not an easy target”. The bad guys received message load and clear and played their predictable role by high tailing it outta there!

Ran across this video (Filmed in 1999 I think) looking over youtube for all the new Open carry videos popping up. I thought it was a good take on California’s gun control problem. It covers the passing of SB 23 which redefined “assault weapons”.

Parts 2 and 3 after the break.

I don’t advise open carriers do this, I think Sam was doing this to prove a point to larger audence that Lori Saldana’s claims are false. With a bit of training all dispatchers will be able to ask the types of questions i deduce were asked of Sam. Question’s like “What is the Man With a Gun (MWAG) doing?”. Is his firearm holstered? Is the MWAG making any threatening movements  or actions? All the while the dispatcher knows that law abiding people can legally carry guns.

SCOTUS gets it right.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court held Monday that Americans have the right to own a gun for self-defense anywhere they live, advancing a recent trend by the John Roberts-led bench to embrace gun rights.

By a 5-4 vote, the justices cast doubt on handgun bans in the Chicago area, but signaled that some limitations on the Constitution’s “right to keep and bear arms” could survive legal challenges.

Justice Samuel Alito, writing for the court, said that the Second Amendment right “applies equally to the federal government and the states.”
