“…I was absolutely legal in doing so and to be honest I was a little bit dumb founded….I’m on my own property and I now feel like I need to hesitate to walk around my own field without getting harassed.”-William Baker, interview with KPVI
In Arco, Idaho, a rancher was harassed by the owner of a KAO Campground because he was open carrying a Colt 1911 .45 pistol.
