6 1/2 Years for Fincher

A leader of the Militia of Washington County has been sentenced to 6 1/2 years in federal prison for possessing banned weapons, including machine guns and a sawed-off shotgun.

"All I can say is, I love my God and I love my country," Hollis Wayne Fincher said before U.S. District Judge Jimm L. Hendren pronounced the sentence Friday.

Just had a moment to check in on my road trip and noticed Google Blog Search doesn't show any other gun blogs commenting on this story. I hope that's just a glitch in the system and it missed all of the posts informing the gun owner community about this. I'd hate to think I'm the only one who thinks this is worth being aware of.

Tell ya what, let's hope none of us ever get in trouble with "the law"...

Signing off for now. Hiatus continues.
