  1. Phil,

    Like many people who have probably contacted you in the last couple weeks, I do not know you whatsoever. But I absolutely loved your story. I think more store, bank, and business owners should arm themselves and protect their property. I applaud you for having the courage to stand up to a group of law breakers by exercising your lawful right to protect life, liberty, and property. Hope you don’t have any backlash from having your name so widely known and hope you continue to set an example for other business owners.

  2. Hey Phil,
    This is from Sandra Graves, the tall. black woman who worked at Au Coquelet and Bette’s. I live in Lake Tahoe now, but during the occupy Movement, I saw the video of you with the shotgun on the news and recognized you. Good on you!! I like the new moniker “Shotgun Phil”. Anyway, just wanted to say Hi.

  3. Finally! Someone with cojones has been appointed to the MBC! I hope you can make them stop wasting time & money prosecuting inactive MDs who aren’t practicing medicine any more & go after the real threats to public safety. For starters, it wouldn’t hurt to get rid of the Lady Under The Hat.
