As I said, I don't advertise it, but it's no secret. If someone is 
curious, I'll tell them. If they ask the right questions. If they ask the 
wrong questions, I'll say "Why?" If they're not going to be open, I won't 
answer.

So they think I'm an eccentric, maybe. Out here, owning a gun is not 
noteworthy. So I'm not even sure they'd think that. Now, if I live in 
California or Jersey ...

Better be careful about that. Given that you're from Arizona, someone 
might take that seriously!
I saw a news report on Friday where they interviewed people in the area 
on July 4th to see what they thought. The response - other than from the 
law enforcement people - was underwhelming. I tend to agree, it isn't the 
big deal the cops and press are trying to make of it. The difference 
between such a case now and 30 years ago is all in the media (and their 
use of the term militia). Why is that?
