On Sept. 24, a rally was held at the Boundary County Fairgrounds.
The evening was started off by 10-year-old Ryan Durbin, who is spearheading the “Protect My Idaho” group. Durbin would like to see more people get active in protecting the country’s freedom by getting out, voting and talking to their representatives.
He feels that we can turn this country around. He says he can smell freedom in the air.
Richard Harder from Clark Fork feels we have allowed the government to take our freedoms starting taking away some of our gun rights in 1943 than again in 1968 and more in 1994 until our gun rights are virtually no existent.
He also feels our First Amendment rights have been infringed on.
Christy Zito, Idaho District 23 Republican, says we need to enlighten our representatives to the statement that “we are the people, we are the government.”
She reminded the crowd that it was their responsibility to contact their representatives and to let them know what their constituents need from them.
Greg Pruett, ISSA president, was the last speaker. He would like work done on the “castle doctrine.”
He would like to see it modeled after the laws in Texas and Florida with added protection against an intruder’s family seeking retribution if that intruder is killed.
For those who don’t know what this is please go online and check it out. It is important for anyone who feels they have a right to protect themselves and their families if there is an intruder.
