Just got a letter informing me I am summoned for federal court jury duty for the entire month of August. Fortunately, they don't make jurors sit in a room twiddling their thumbs every single day any more, but have them be on call. Still, they say I need to inform them of any prior committments so they can adjust my availability schedule accordingly.
I do, in fact, have two prior committments on my calendar for August: the annual Machhine Gun Shoot in Kearney, and a four-day training class taught by Massad Ayoob.
If I have to tell them why I need exemptions for those dates, it could be amusing . . .

It would be amusing to tell them that that's why you can't attend but they'll just give you a cold stare.
"i have a training class to go to. Here's my receipt."
You know if you told them what its for, they'd probably excuse you from the whole jury thing. Can't have a gun owner on a federal jury.
Is Mas teaching your class? Then, you're in for a treat. The guy is a character, and you'll learn a huge amount while being thoroughly entertained at the same time.
Oh yes, and you will "shoot 'til you barf" (as Mas is prone to say), and your hands will feel as if they've been run over by a tractor.
Do let us know what happens with the jury duty.
It could get even more interesting, Chas. Do they still make everyone swear on a bible whether they're Christian or not?
Of course, that's assuming they actually agree to put a Constitutionalist gun-owning Pagan on a jury at all.
