Sounds like business as usual for me. I live in Pinal Co., I spend a lot of time in the backcountry, and I try to maintain this type of "alert" status anytime out there..... and recommend the same for anyone.
Although he didn't pinpoint the area, I guarantee he is speaking of Vekol Valley/Table Top Wilderness. |

KTAR brought up what I thought was a good point regarding this being political posturing, and not a serious threat.
A serious threat would warrant the responsible advice to stay the fuck out of a specific area. He called out the president and made it a point to tell people to bring weapons. Seems fishy. |

If I lose my mind and decide to go for a hike there I will now bring the suppressed M16 instead of my AZ Centennial Ruger LCP.

So, business as usual for that area, right? |

Funny this was posted. I got a notice this AM about the same brief given by NCIS on the Marine Base in Yuma today.
I wonder what exactly they know that I don't... I'm one who likes traveling the wide open. Guess I'll bring my 'varietals' and 'extra'. |

I do worry about this sort of thing from time-to-time dwelling so close to the border; could be entertaining if the hit team somehow bumped into the right group of ARFcommers.

Did you also catch them talking about how they are ASSASSINS!!! So no armed AZ citizen is a match for them. I beg to differ. I think a south of the border assassin is merely some punk kid with a gun who kills because he is paid well and his family is threatened. I seriously doubt they are "trained" assassins, and even if they are trained, I would be willing to bet the training is not much more than being shown how to load a mag, insert mag, load chamber, pull trigger. |

wish I could find the pic of an older gentlemen chilling next to one of these signs in his Hawaiian shirt holding a miller lite and an AR-15...
but just a pic of the sign will have to do: 
often seen evidence of illegal camps when dove hunting around Arizona City, usually not very fresh. Always make sure to carry 10 rounds of buckshot to keep it interesting if SHTF... |

I think the point is the guys who are doing drug rips on the TO res are not Zetas. These are low level enforcers. Much like the guys who got in a rolling gun battle on I-10 many years ago. These are henchmen. Not management or specialists. |

And yes, low level guys tired of sleeping on mountain tops for very little pay, but there are also plenty of guys out there running around with better knowledge of weapons and tactics than most arfcommers. Its not just the slave labor doing it, hasn't just been them for years. Also, any sheriff telling his citizens to pack heat is GTG, pole smoking or not, "posturing" or not. |

Some of the guys running rip crews are not even Mexican nationals.
Some are Americans. Some are cops. Some are even Feds. Remember the supervisor out of Phoenix ICE a few years back? |
