Gun activist Adam Kokesh charged

 A judge says Adam Kokesh

Pro-gun activist Adam Kokesh, recently seen in an Internet video loading and cocking a shotgun, is being held in a Washington jail for three days pending a detention hearing on Monday, a judge ruled.

He is charged with carrying a rifle or shotgun outside a home or place of business, an offense that carries a maximum of five years in prison and a fine of up to $5,000.

Kokesh, an Iraq veteran, made headlines with a July Fourth video posted to YouTube in which he loaded a shotgun in the middle of the national capital's Freedom Plaza.

He also used Facebook to call for an armed march in Washington for the same day but called off the event in May. It is illegal to carry firearms in the District of Columbia.

District of Columbia Magistrate Judge Lori Parker said Kokesh "poses a danger" and went "out of his way" to violate the district's laws.

  2. There are times I wish patriots like Adam could think more like the way lying, conniving, deceitful, devious progressives think. I would love to see all this bluster come crashing down when he proved in court he was not in Washington. Instead the whole scene was "green-screened" at a legal location. Although they would probably convict him anyway since he uses a PHOTO of Washington.
