Rick Stanley (Libertarian candidate for U.S. Senate) and Duncan Philp were arrested for carrying weapons at a Bill of Rights Day celebration. They were released pending trial for violating a Denver victim disarmament ordinance. The act of civil disobedience -- they informed police in advance of their intentions -- is intended to challenge the ordinance as unconstitutional. (12/18/01)

This does of course illustrate our point of how egregious an error the Rocky Mountain News' mistake really is. All the more reason to make sure that they run a retraction of their story in a prominent place. To read the news release Rick issued in response to this article please see
