Concealed carry holder arrested for threatening President Obama
Well done. 
Nicholas D. Savino, 42, 328 Melrose Ave., was indicted Tuesday by a federal grand jury in Scranton on charges of threatening to kill the president of the United States and transmitting communication in interstate commerce because he threatened the president via email.
Mr. Savino also held a permit to carry concealed firearms, issued by Lackawanna County in November. The license will be revoked, Dominick Manetti, chief deputy of the Lackawanna County sheriff's office, said Friday. Revocation is standard for anyone accused of a crime, he said.
The U.S. attorney's office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania said Thursday that Mr. Savino sent an email to the White House on Aug. 16 that read: "President Obama is the Anti-Christ. As a result of breaking the constitution you will stand down or be shot dead. This will be sent to militias throughout the country and the media. Nick Savino."

It gives me faith that our laws are working and that our enforcement, while spotty, worked in this case.
training manuals on long-range shooting, and even be a member of one of the referenced militia groups, but it is not a.o.k. to threaten our President. This incident is enough to make one wonder how many Nick Savino-types/wannabees are out there considering the large number of domestic gun-toters, spewers of hate, and militias. One wonders the combined threat domestic haters pose to our national security as opposed to the threat posed by any/all foreign groups. One also wonders if the resources devoted to domestic threats to our national security are sufficient when compared to the resources devoted to foreign al Que-da-types. 
boots and willingly give up much of their freedom to be kept absolutely safe from any foreign terraist threat are a very special people indeed. But for food for thought: Benjamin Franklin mused contemptuously of those willing to give up their liberty for a little safety.
so if he did not own guns and a CCW he would not have been arrested
Excellent post 
Imagine taking a hike in your local woods and coming upon characters toting semi-automatic weapons, dressed in camo and wearing masks. Then imagine finding out they are militia-movement followers hired by a mining operation to protect against "eco-terrorists." That's what's been happening to people living in northern Wisconsin lately...Kate Sheppard at Mother Jones has been on the scene and monitoring these developments:
Local activist Rob Ganson, 56, first came upon three heavily armed guards while leading a small group on a hike to view the mining site. (The drilling site is on private land, but the owner has been given a tax break in exchange for keeping it open to public use.) The guards, said Ganson, carried semi-automatic guns, were dressed in camouflage, and wore masks covering their faces...After they determined that the guards worked for Arizona-based Bulletproof Security, Ganson and the other activists posted their photos of the guards online, drawing local and national news coverage of the mine, a proposed four-mile-long, 1,000-feet-deep open pit operation in Ashland and Iron counties. In June, the company began exploratory drilling in the region for taconite, a type of iron ore used in steel.
Last Wednesday, the mining company, Gogebic Taconite—G-Tac for short—a subsidiary of the West Virginia-based Cline Group, pulled the armed guards after finding that the security firm lacked permits to work in the state. A spokesman for the company has said that the Bulletproof guards will be back once they're properly licensed.
One of the activists in the area, however, told Mother Jones on Monday that a new group of armed guards—including one whose shirt bore the insignia for Watchmen of America, a militia group active in at least 21 states—was on patrol last Thursday, the day after Gogebic Taconite pulled the Bulletproof guards. This was followed shortly by heated denials from the Watchmen...
As Mary Catherine O'Connor at Outside reports, this is all taking place in a context where the mining officials are labeling local protesters "eco terrorists" and using the flimsiest of pretexts to bring in militia-style thugs to intimidate the locals.
Let's hope Americans remember that in Italy and Germany, fascists first gained political traction and moved out of the fringe of politics in the 1920s when they were hired by large landowners and businessmen as thugs to beat up and harass union organizers and land reformers, all under the rubric of calling them "communists". This is an ominous development indeed.

11000 rounds of ammo would take 367 30-round magazines. In reality, that ammo was probably in cardboard cases of 1000 rounds (or 500 rounds) stacked on his garage floor. Since ammo does not have expiration dates, buying in bulk (by the case) is cheaper than buying by the box (20 rounds) just like for most other items.
Probably a couponer.
was there something of substance you wanted to add to the conversation? (Not that there is anything wrong with you bringing some comic relief to the thread.)
Yup! As far as being issued a CCW is concerned.
Look at the questions on ATF Form 4473!
Buh-bye! 
Well, do ya'?
Thanks, that's all I need to know!
