Clark Aposhian, Utah Gun Lobby Chief, Arrested On Domestic Violence Charge

The Huffington Post | By Nick Wing Posted: 05/30/2013 1:49 pm EDT | Updated: 05/30/2013 4:24 pm EDT

Clark Aposhian, a chief lobbyist for gun rights in Utah, was arrested on Monday after allegedly showing up at his ex-wife's house in a 2.5-ton army truck and threatening her husband.

When Aposhian received a call from his ex-wife's husband asking him not to return, he allegedly responded by saying he'd go wherever he pleased and would run over their cars and "bury" him, the AP reports.

When he returned to the house in a different car, reportedly to offer to clean up any tire marks he may have left, he was booked by police who had been called to the scene, according to The Salt Lake Tribune. Officers confiscated the weapon he had with him and charged him with trespassing, harassment, domestic violence, failure to appear in court and for multiple outstanding traffic violations. He posted bail later on Monday.

Under state law, a domestic violence conviction could force Aposhian to turn over his guns, his concealed-weapons permit and concealed-carry instructor’s license. It could also potentially cause others to scrutinize his leadership roles on a number of Utah gun groups.

While Aposhian has made a living in part by teaching people how to secure their weapons, he himself fell victim to theft in March, when he reported that an AR-15 rifle with a thermal-imaging scope had been stolen from a lockbox inside his vehicle.

1. Not a flattering picture!

[Marie Marie]

2. Who was it that said:

By the time you are 50, you have the face you deserve. Looks pretty fitting to me.

[rdharma]

4. Let me find a better one....... where he doesn't look so "crazy"!

How about this one? Better? Not as crazy looking......right?!!!

[hrmjustin]

5. OMG!

[jimmy the one]

16. You a Nice Man, a Nice Man ... Nice Pictures too

rdharma: How about this one? Better? Not as crazy looking......right?!!!

It's not only the gun he's showing off, he's also proud of the pictures he drew in the background.

[tosh]

30. Wow! He looks an awful lot like one of the two

gun enthusiasts who I actually know in real life.

Change the forhead-patch a bit, swap the jacket & collar for a t-shirt or camo, dead ringer.

[gejohnston]

3. a deuce and half?

I hope he leave the truck with someone cool in case I need help moving.

[rdharma]

6. I'm all for responsible deuce and a half owners.......

... which you can get through the DRMO. But something just tells me...... this guy isn't very "responsible"!

[WVU]

8. What a freak.

Big truck, big gun, small...

Probably why his wife left him in the first place.

BTW, are thermal imaging scopes even LEGAL!!??!! How did this freak get one anyway?

[rdharma]

9. Thermal scopes are legal...... but VERY expensive.

Yes. This guy apparently has some mid-life crisis compensation issues.

[premium]

10. oooooooooooooh.

The small...................reference. So original.

[CokeMachine]

12. Fast learner

Only two posts and he's got it down He will probably be very popular in the BlocksAlot (echo chamber) group. Maybe even become their poster child.

Have a great weekend!!

[premium]

13. Yep.

He'll be popular there and they can have him.
You have a great weekend also.

[mokawanis]

17. You like that "echo chamber" comment, don't you?

Ever get tired of using it?

[oneshooter]

18. As already stated "If the shoe fits".

[CokeMachine]

21. Nope -- it is what it is.

I also like the name "bansalot group". They can't handle anyone disagreeing with them. If they can't handle anyone that doesn't tow the line in their narrow minded group then it's an echo chamber. I don't know you but it seems you'd fit right in. Stifle speech you don't agree with is such a repuke thing. Maybe it's only speech you don't agree with or not? That's kind of McCarthy like, don'cha think??

Keep up the keeping up. Have a great weekend and bless your ever loving heart.

[mokawanis]

23. Thanks, CokeMachine

but nobody is taking away your free speech. repukes? McCarthy? There's two good examples of you exercising your free speech to say things that aren't accurate or true, and nobody is trying to stop you.

I guess at this point we're just trading snarky comments and don't have any where to take this...so I will sincerely wish you a good weekend, too.

[CokeMachine]

25. Thanks

I'll be more respectful to you in the future. Take Care

[WVU]

14. Well...

if the shoe fits...

[CokeMachine]

11. Those who worry about the organ size

of others probably shouldn't look in the mirror.

BTW, Welcome to DU

[cherokeeprogressive]

22. This one walked in the door with a spoon the size of an OAR... looking to stir shit. n/t

[CokeMachine]

24. Yep

When they start that soon it does make one wonder??

[ileus]

19. Time to ban Army Surplus vehicles...

[rdharma]

20. Nah!

They are vehicles....... not weapons.

[auburngrad82]

26. See, we don't need to "come for their guns".

We just have to wait for them to do stupid shit like this and they lose their rights to bear arms.

Job well done, Mr. Aposhian!

[rdharma]

27. That's true........ but!

Sometimes the "stupid shit" they do is very violent......... and it's best to nip any such possible problems like that in the bud!

[rdharma]

29. I hope we have seen the last of Mr. Aposhian in the headlines.......

But sadly,....... I fear that won't be the case!
