CHAPTER 22

"The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."

-Thomas Jefferson

Pastor John Robinson called an emergency board meeting to discuss the Randall Speech.

"Gentlemen, I want to thank everyone for clearing your schedule on such short notice," Robinson began. "I’ve prayerfully considered what Paul Randall had to say in his speech. I have also considered what Anthony Howe has pledged to do upon his inauguration. I tend to believe him when he says he will put the new restrictions on firearms by executive order. I really believe we need to get out of dollars immediately and entirely. I have been on the phone this morning and negotiated several deals. They’re simply pending your approval. I have negotiated what I believe to be a fair price for the farm adjacent to the Howard Young place that was gifted to Liberty Chapel recently. The deal would give us nearly 500 acres between the two farms. I have arranged two separate large bullion purchases with a local dealer and another one in Montana. I have also spoken with the CEO of Castle Arms in the Idaho panhandle. Those folks at Castle are really good people. They’re not accepting cash, but they’ve promised to hold 200 AR-15s and 800 thirty round magazines if we can pay them in bullion. We should be able to do that if all goes well with the metals transaction. In the interest of time, I’ll ask you to vote on the entirety of my recommendation. If the vote is not unanimous, we can go back and look at what needs to be changed.”

The chairman recommended a vote and it was unanimous. He made a motion to allow the pastor to convert all liquid funds into hard goods by any means he saw fit. That motion also passed unanimously. There was a great deal of trust that had developed between the pastor and the board over the years. They were all in agreement that times were going to get tough in the near term.

Pastor Robinson explained his plan to build barracks on the two farms and his plans to store up as much food as possible. The details would be worked out later. For now, they needed to act on the mission at hand.

As they left the boardroom, Pastor Robinson put Ron White in charge of food storage. "I want you to see how much bulk rice, beans and wheat you can purchase from any nearby distributors. Recruit anyone you need to help drive trucks or make separate purchases. Robert Rust, the range master, is going to start building up the ammunition stores."

Ron asked, "What about Castle Arms? Don't they produce ammo? I thought those folks up in the Idaho panhandle taught their children to reload ammo in homeschool?" Ron was only half joking. He was sure he remembered a story of a woman from Lewiston teaching her kids to reload as part of their curriculum.
