Why Fear an Armed Public? – unless you’re a tyrant who routinely
does things that would make the average Joe want to shoot
you. Like the i.r.s. agents who raided Mr. Larken’s home last May.

At some point the same agent asked me if my guns were “registered.” I
wasn’t sure what he meant, so I answered that they were all purchased
legally. He asked again if they were “registered.” When I told him
that we don’t register guns in Pennsylvania, he arrogantly mocked my
claim. His arrogance faded, however, after the local cop confirmed
that we don’t register firearms here. (That convinced me that this
agent was another import from the left coast.)

But the agents conveyed more to me than what their words literally
said. They were quite visibly disturbed at the idea of a mere peasant
like me being armed. Why? I have never threatened them (or anyone
else) with violence. I walked away from my firearms to get to the door
to let them in. So what was the problem? The answer is quite simple:
they were doing things that they thought were likely to result in
someone shooting them. The local cop wasn’t scared of my firearms. (He
even asked where I got my nifty little combination safe for my
handguns.) He wasn’t the one whose idea it was to pull a Gestapo stunt
on me. He wasn’t doing anything which might make him fear my guns.
