Right. But even to Mr. Weaver, the situation might be preferable to
spending 15 years in a federal prison with no one knowing about it. I don't
know him.

In response to the cop and gun thing or long term? He ran away once he
defused the situation. Long term, he was a burnt-out Viet Nam vet who was
theoretically dying of cancer that our government gave him while in The Nam.
He was an occasional guest lecturer on assasination and improvised munitions
at the Kung Fu school I attended for fourish years.
He was one of a group of dangerous people with whom I associated as a late
teen. I'm happy to have left them all behind. They were universally
interesting, but not destined for long-term life, prosperity, or freedom and
would have been only too hapy to drag me down too. His buddy, Bomber Bob
kept a crate of grenades in his trunk and occasionally had stuff like M60s
for sale!
