Lone Wolf or Survivalist Group?

Do You Live In a Constitution Free Zone
I sure don’t. Wondering what a “Constitution Free Zone” is? So was I until about an hour ago. A Constitution Free Zone is the area “within “100-miles of the US land and coastal borders.” Airports are also in these zones, regardless of their geographic location. According to 2007 figures from the US Census Bureau, 197.4 […]
