Vet Resisted VA Gun Grab Tyranny With Help Of Local Sheriff
Idaho residents gathered outside Veteran John Arnold’s home in Priest River on Thursday to protest the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs decision to threaten seizure of Arnold’s firearms after labeling him “financially incompetent.”
Arnold claims that an error on paper work he filed with the VA shortly after having a stroke one year ago is the reason he received the label.
“If somebody else makes an error and they cause you grief they should fix it,” Arnold told KREM 2. “That’s all I want is that stuff to get fixed.”
Roughly 100 people gathered outside Arnold’s house on Thursday to show support for the veteran’s right to bear arms.
A VA inspector was set to visit Arnold Thursday but likely flaked due to the protest.
Among the protesters was State Representative Heather Scott and Bonner County Sheriff Daryl Wheeler.
“I took an oath to uphold the U.S. Constitution and uphold the laws of Idaho,” Sheriff Wheeler said. “This seemed appropriate to show my support. I was going to make sure Mr. Arnold’s rights weren’t going to be breached.”

Oathkeepers has reported that the VA was forced to stand down!
The VA goofed and had to back down. The Bonner County, Idaho, Sheriff sent the Feds packing. How did the VA goof? The VA wanted another Veteran’s guns. The People said “NO!” and the Sheriff backed them. Awesome.
I’m lovin’ it! All over the place people are beginning to stand up for their rights, and for all of our rights. I would like to invite all Oath Keepers to enjoy this brief video in which two State legislators and a solid good All American Sheriff stood up for a Viet Nam Veteran when the VA notified him that they were coming to inspect his house to remove any firearms he might have there. Here are three heroes:
Idaho Rep. Heather Scott, WA Rep. Matt Shea, and Bonner County Sheriff Daryl Wheeler.
