At least, it doesn't scare the children
Now that we have all manner of gunhumpers "protecting" our military recruitment centers, to the dismay and annoyance of the Army, it is good to see someone has come up with a solution equal to the stated problem.
Decked out in full Renaissance Faire regalia, a New York man has joined hundreds of patriots who have appointed themselves defenders of U.S. military recruitment centers, reports the Times Herald-Record.Nuisance yes, but he probably won't be considered a security threat like the gunhumpers.
Holding the flag of the Knights Templar and wearing a 10-pound steel helmet, Jeffersonville resident Joseph Frye says he wants to protect personnel at the military centers following the shooting at a Chattanooga recruitment office that claimed five lives.

“Service members should be protected,” Frye said. “They volunteered to protect us, so I’m just trying to put heat on the issue.”
Accompanied by his wife, the former Marine also brought along a bow and a quiver full of arrows, saying he doesn’t have a permit to carry a handgun.
This may come as a small relief to military officials who have asked armed civilian “guards” to stay away from the centers.
Thursday, in Lancaster, Ohio, one man guarding a recruitment center accidentally fired off a round into the asphalt of the parking lot while showing off his AR-15 assault weapon to a passerby.
