MILITIA: Taking care of our own

The recent appearance in downtown Coeur d’Alene of our “local militia” brought yeas and nays, for sure. But I think there is another message. And that is that local citizens will show up when needed, that they will cooperate with our local law enforcement, and if a group bent on destruction heads our way, they might ought to think twice because we take care of our own in North Idaho. Deterrence is also a tool for good. Not the same as but kind of like prayer, which is always good.
