Why talk about it though? The sheer satisfaction of imagining feds and sheeple crapping their pants in fearful anticipation? Even if nothing happened at all, you have to realize unsympathetic people who aren't in on your peculiar brand of humor are going to take things like this at face value and hold it against you. You risk getting slapped around with the anti-paramilitary training statutes whether you're kidding or not.
I'm not kidding. I was there from Friday morning to last night. As for "getting slapped around," I presume you plan to back this up with something more than your "intuition"?

Laws Regarding Private Militias
Federal law prohibits paramilitary training and the manufacture or transport of weapons with the knowledge or intent that they will be used to create a civil disturbance. (Ref 10) Federal law differs from most state laws prohibiting paramilitary training in that it applies only to the trainers, not the trainees. Under most state laws governing paramilitary training, participation as a trainee is also illegal.
Unconstitutional nonsense. So, Agent Faustine, report me. I wish I'd had your report to distribute to the group on Friday night. Adding your name to the checklist of enemies would have been useful, but at the time I didn't think you were quite as much of an enemy as the obvious names. --Tim May, Citizen-unit of of the once free United States " The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants.
