"One, still chewing his food, walked out saying, 'If they don’t want us in here with our guns, I’m taking off,' and didn’t return. Others did return and stay for the rest of the event."
"But on Wednesday, neither Mayor Bruce Furness nor Rick Clayburgh’s campaign – which sponsored the event – could track down who gave the order."
"The incident comes fresh on the heals of a recent war of wills over weapons at the Cass County Courthouse. Presiding Judge Michael Maguire recently banned a Fargo police officer from the building until he complied with the judge’s policy of no weapons in the building." |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
