holy crap just saw this story as well
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- Three North Carolina men fearing a government takeover and martial law stockpiled weapons, ammunition and tactical gear while attempting to rig home-made explosives, according to charges announced by the Justice Department on Monday.
The men from Gaston County, near Charlotte, were arrested by federal authorities on Saturday after more than a month's investigation.
Walter Eugene Litteral, 50, Christopher James Barker, 41, and Christopher Todd Campbell, 30, are accused of stockpiling guns and ammunition, as well as attempting to manufacture pipe bombs and live grenades from military surplus "dummy" grenades, according unsealed criminal complaints released Monday.
The close to 60 pages of information compiled by federal authorities since July include allegations Litteral planned to makes explosives out of tennis balls covered in nails and coffee cans filled with ball bearings.
According to the documents, both Litteral and Campbell spoke openly about their opposition to Jade Helm 15, a series of ongoing special forces training missions in several Southwestern states that has drawn suspicion from residents who fear it is part of a planned military takeover.
In addition to ammunition for a long-range .338 caliber rifle, the authorities said Litteral purchased hand-held radios, Kevlar helmets, body armor and face masks in preparation for an armed resistance to the feared military occupation.

man detained, wonder if it really was a backfire
One person has been detained for questioning in connection to the Camp Shelby shooting incident Wednesday morning
Police searched the area Wednesday morning when a maroon truck passed them. A shot was heard, and police went into pursuit. The suspect claims he has no gun, and that his truck backfired.
Police will not say what is inside the truck at this time, but a Biloxi bomb squad is on the way to the scene to assist in the investigation. ATF is also on the way to the scene.
According to ATF, they will process the scene and whatever is found inside the truck. No confirmed device has been reported at this time, but the situation does warrant a bomb squad. The investigation has been handed over to MBI.
