(Although you came close to the latter in 2004 — remember when you pled out on interfering with a 911 call? The two charges you bargained away were both domestic violence misdemeanors.) The question is why somebody with your extensive criminal history would choose to repeatedly draw attention to himself, and the answer is easy:

You’re a moron.

You’re a guy with a whole pantsfull of convictions. Fresh off a thirty-day jail sentence, what you ought to have been doing is raising money for a permit revocation appeal; your latest conviction, for pepperspraying some customer during your former job as a security guard, might well give rise to the level of proof necessary to show that you’re dangerous to “self or others” if allowed to possess anything more lethal than a dull spoon.

ETA: and you don’t know when you’ve been given a gift. Back in 2003, when you were charged with two counts of domestic assault and interfering with a 911 call, you were allowed to plead out on the gross misdemeanor, and got a stayed sentence and a fine. If you’d been convicted on either of the domestics, you’d be statutorily prohibited from possessing a firearm; Leonardo Castro of the Public Defender’s office got you a bargain. That should have been a wake-up call; instead, you went on to commit two more disorderly conducts, a 3rd degree DWI, and the assault that landed you in the workhouse.

And then, fresh off your fifteen minutes of notoriety as a known nutcase, you’re busy dropping your pants and showing your ass all over the internet, and proclaiming that your ass is the Constitution, all the while become a Brady Bunch poster child. And let’s not — for the moment — get into your hysterical emails and IMs, shall we? (But, I mean, really … not supporting you in your puerile little attention-grab is “treason”? I mean, well, gee, really?)

Hence: you’re a moron.

What scares me the most is that you TEACH carry classes and yet are so ignorant of the law. Not to mention you believe what was written in the Star Tribune word for word. A tad naive I feel.

As a person who “trains” people to get their carry permit, I would think the laws would be painfully obvious to you. Apparently not.

The other sad thing is the fact you’re a hypocrite. Obviously not a true believer in the Constitution and a self-important “wind” bag that thinks his opinions matter enough to people to have this “blog.” Such a shame.

Your “customers” deserve their money back. At least I now know why you know so much about the payscale for “village idiot.”

You should be aware that none of the incidents on my “criminal record” preclude me from owning a firearm, either by Federal or State Laws. You should also know that none of those preclude me from having my permit to carry either.

You should also know that I didn’t break a single law on the 12th. You should also know that I was not wearing clothing that would provide for easy viewing of any weapon. Apparently you think that the Minneapolis Police Officers, Hennepin County Deputies and the Secret Service are complete idiots. Kind of arrogant aren’t you? Yeah. Obviously you know more about the laws than the 3 above listed agencies. Wait…No you don’t, otherwise you’d already know that I’m legally able to carry. OOPS!

Arrogance and ignorance are a horrible combination, but you sure make it look good! *cough*

Bottom line. Your assertions, knowledge of the facts, knowledge of the laws and ability to read my mind are painfully lacking.

I really do feel sorry for your students. How unaware and unprepared regarding the laws they must be. Now THAT is frightening…

Sheesh. I’d wonder what he was thinking, but I don’t think that “thinking” has much to do with the guy.

He also describes himself as a “pretty laid-back guy.” Yeah, he only gets arrested 3 or 4 times a year because he’s so laid back.
