He denied that he had more than 500 rounds of ammunition listed in his arrest report.

“I pulled up to a checkpoint after getting lost in D.C. because I’m a country boy,” he said. “I showed them the inauguration badge that was given to me.”

Beeler has been ordered not to return to the city except to appear in court or meet with his lawyer.

As someone who has a CCP and a vet, YOU DON'T FORGET WHERE YOUR GUN IS!!!!!!!!!
