KINGMAN - A Kingman man gets his pitchfork back after he's acquitted in a trespassing case.

Mohave County Judge Pro-tempore Paul Julien ruled March 5 that Mervin Fried was not guilty of third-degree trespassing.

The Daily Miner reports Fried was arrested for attempting to bring a pitchfork into the county supervisor's building on Feb. 16, 2010.

Fried was asked by County Manager Ron Walker to leave his pitchfork outside. Fried was arrested when he refused and tried to enter the building with the pitchfork.

The judge ruled Walker did have the authority to restrict access to the building.

However, Julien wrote Walker's decision allowing members of the public with holstered handguns access to the building but denying access to the defendant because he had a holstered' pitchfork was arbitrary, capricious and unreasonable.


Next time stick to tar and feathers.

................... he had a holstered' pitchfork .............

I'm curious that a Galco, a Blackhawk, a De Santis, a Blade Tech, or a Fobus?

Oh wait, maybe an Alabama Holster or El Paso Saddlery  or Tennessee Holster Company or maybe just simply from Southern Holsters

I FOUND IT.  It had to be a  Gradfather Oak Custom Carry.   Yeah that sounds like a company who make holsters for pitchforks.  Oak Custom Carry.

It's all about the right to bear arms.

I think the original article may have been mistaken about the holster.  My pitchfork carries better with a sling (convertible one or two-point).

I hope he had it holstered using a Blackhawk Serpa.  That way he would have his pitch finger in the proper position.  If he used a IWB it might get a little uncomfortable.

I would suggest an IIT* carry for certain recipients!

Between this thread and the pointy things thread, I couldn't resist.  I had to google "tactical pitchfork." 


I would say I'm surprised, but almost nothing on the internet surprises me anymore.

I hope it wasn't one of those high capacity pitch forks.  Those things should be outlawed.

Ban It!!!

 We ban if for the children - It's all for the children.

After all, what use would if have?  Digging up nightcrawlers for a fishing trip with the grandkids?  Yea sure.  Hold on to that thought Bubba.

WAIT WAIT.



Is that an ARMOR PIERCING PITCHFORK?

Can't have that.  Only acceptable if the tines are made of plastic.  And not that new, spaceage lexan stuff either.  Just regular plastic.
