Lauren Canario arrested and possibly Kat also

[coffeeseven]

So you can carry a sidearm in NH but you can't hand the IRS a piece of paper?

Zat seem a little lopsided?

[Kat Kanning]

Oh yeah, for some reason they acted shocked that I have a concealed carry license.

[FTL_Ian]

I'm surprised too!

You asked NH govt's permission?   (Or is it from another state?)

[Tom Sawyer]

She could tell ya, but then she'd have to kill ya. 

[d_goddard]

Oh yeah, for some reason they acted shocked that I have a concealed carry license.

"Officer, it's so an otherwise peaceful lady like myself doesn't have to worry about brutal thugs that might try and hurt me...."

I'm shocked too but that's because I thought you and Russell were pacifists.

[Dave Ridley]

Kat/Lauren:  means a great deal to me what both of u have done! i will endeavor to assist in making your efforts worth while!

[error]

Both Russell and Kat are familiar with firearms, as far as I know, and I do believe they own some.

[Kat Kanning]

I'm surprised too!

I got it when I first moved, before I became such an anarchist.

[Russell Kanning]

"Officer, it's so an otherwise peaceful lady like myself doesn't have to worry about brutal thugs that might try and hurt me...."

and guess what we have learned ..... basically the only guys out to get us are government thugs

[Russell Kanning]

Any superstitious folks out there?

Kat's karma is 911.

not anymore

[Kat Kanning]

Re:  pacifist,  Russell is, I've never decided.  I think pacifism toward the government is the way to go.  Not sure about some brute breaking into the house.  But the only brutes who have ever broken into my house or done any violence against me have been government.  Not looking for a debate here, just answering a question.

I know I am late to the party, and I haven't read the entire thread.

However... it seems as though there is some uncertainty about the message, and I'm not convinced that the reference to torture won't turn some people off immediately and prevent them from thinking things through.

Perhaps something along the line of what follows would cause people to question what they "know" and see the light:

TAXES...
TAKEN BY GOVERNMENT FORCE
TO FUND GOVERNMENT FORCE

DON'T BELIEVE IT?
WATCH WHAT HAPPENS TO US.

Why would a reference to torture turn people off?

We got a lot of positive comments when we were walking up and down main st. with Russell in the Guantanamo outfit.  One guy said, "thanks for the reminder"
