A dozen years ago or so we went south for fun into the desert in our pickup west of Casa Grande , partway to Gila Bend.
about 8 miles south we came to a fence and an abandoned ranch house. we turned around and about 4 miles back as we came over a rise to a wash, 2 Border Patrol officers had us intheir M14 gunsights.
Questions they asked, advice they gave.
What are you diong here - Uh a drive rock hounding and looking for dead saguaros for their ribs.
Did you see anyone or any thing - Uh, no,
Are you armed? - uh no, Why should we be?
Because that femce is the border of the Tohono res. where we have no jurusdiction. Illegals cross the 100 yard border into the res and the natives help them . and within into 12 miles of Tucson
Officer, we ask, How does that concern us?
They would not hesitate to kill you to get rid of a witness.
Federal officers advised us to be armed and alert when around the border.
I had never before thought of or liked being armed
When a Federal officer of the law advises you to be armed in defense of your life in our nation I take that as a call to arms, as it was long ago when militia were the defense .
