Armed Men Guard Idaho Recruitment

An armed group calling itself the 3% of Idaho is voluntarily guarding military recruiting centers around the state. Chris McIntire, a spokesman for the group, told KBOI 2News that he and several other members are guarding military recruiting centers throughout Idaho in response to last week's deadly shooting in Tennessee which left four Marines and one Sailor dead. The group has volunteers, usually in teams of two, manning stations in Boise, Nampa, Kuna, Coeur d'Alene, Twin Falls and Lewiston. All told, about 800 members belong to the group and have been active for about a year, McIntire said. McIntire said the group is protecting those who can't protect themselves in an effort it's calling "Operation Guardian Angel"/KBOI. More here.

Question: What do you think of "Operation Guardian Angel"?
