Hard to believe folks think this has anything to do with the 2A. Well, look at it like this. He was reported to have a "Gun" in his waist band, in a State that allows "Open Carry"(in a waist band), on his own property and in his own house. He did not "Brandish", he did not wave it in a threatening manner. Yet a mere phone call to Police about a Man With a Gun (on his own property) generated a SWAT team response. Does not the 2nd Amendment give him the right to carry on his own property? What do you think would have happened to him if he had an itch and needed to scratch his fat belly, that's right he would be dead. Back to the 2nd. What do you think would have happened if it was a real gun? He most likely would have been arrested or at least detained for exercising his 2nd Amendment right on His Own Property. It says that there were several Troopers with "assault rifles" outside and that the cops had called him out using a PA System. How does that become SWAT? If I know I'm going to a call of a "man with a gun" I don't just go with my side arm. I take a long gun. Do you have knowledge of what information the caller actually told the police dispatcher? Did he just say "man with a gun"? Did the caller say that the guy brandished a gun? Did he say the guy pointed a gun or threatened him with a gun? You don't know. I don't know. You girls go back to your high school ranting about boogey men wearing uniforms and carrying "assault rifles". Ed Will this work for ya? http://bearingarms.com/absurd-gun-tattoo-leads-to-swat-call/

Listening to people from the east coast argue about who has the most freedom is similar to listening to two retards arguing about which one is the most retarded. Which is to say, none of you poor people over there are the least bit free and you don't even know it. .....and then a third retard joins in without having the slightest idea what he's discussing. Hahaha! Are you the third retard or was that directed at me?

Seems like an over-response to the situation.
Of course the tree trimmers might have exaggerated that he treatened them with the gun and how they were really, really scared for their lifes.
Not that anyone would do something like that.

Nope. Just because some blogger calls it a SWAT callout in a headline, written to grab someone's attention, doesn't make it a fact. Still no evidence there was a SWAT callout. Exaggerate all you want, the facts are the facts. Ed

A couple of trespassers call the cops because they erroneously think the property owner had a gun when he told them to GTF off of his property....so, why didn't the trespassers go to jail???

If they were powerline company contractors clearing the lines of trees, they have a right to be there via the utility easement rights. So, technically NOT trespassers.

Only if they remain on the easement. On my property, the easement is very narrow, they have to remain within 3 feet of the property line.....they never do....

Exaggerate all you want, the facts are the facts. Ed The question to me was, Please show me where the SWAT team was on this call. It says that there were several Troopers with "assault rifles" outside and that the cops had called him out using a PA System. How does that become SWAT? In the link I posted "It"says SWAT. He asked, I showed, nuff said.

He was probably a Greenpeace activist upset over the assault to a defenseless oak...
[bleep] tattooed Lorax.
To bad the cops didn't waste him.
Would have made a better story.

These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.
