In January, he reported to the Sheriff Department that a device he had ordered from Ebay detected electronic &#8220;bugs&#8221; that had been planted by General Nathan Bedford Forrest and Colonel Sanders (I&#8217;m sure you recognize those names), who Mr. McElroy claimed were stationed at Little Rock Air Force Base and conducting surveillance on him;<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?attachment_id=60428\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-60428\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Larry-McElroy-300x110.jpg\" alt=\"Larry McElroy\" width=\"300\" height=\"110\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-60428\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Larry-McElroy-300x110.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Larry-McElroy-500x184.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Larry-McElroy.jpg 1187w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>So, I&#8217;m wondering how he got a hold of a firearm. He certainly wasn&#8217;t balanced and the police were aware of his behavior. I wonder if anyone had bothered to try to get him some help or some other steps to prevent him from owning a firearm. From <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fox16.com\/story\/d\/story\/who-is-little-rock-air-force-base-gunman-larry-mce\/42253\/aatTg4rsb0SH55Q4QoFi2A\">Fox16<\/a>;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>On March 31 of last year, the sheriff&#8217;s office responded twice in the same day to McElroy&#8217;s home. In the first incident that day, McElroy thought his wife was trying to commit suicide, which she said never happened. Three hours later, McElroy reported he was afraid for his safety. He reportedly believed people were watching him and said he wanted to go to the hospital. <\/p>\n<p>Prior to that, in January, he and his wife were both hallucinating that 25 armed men in uniforms had held them hostage in their home for 10 hours. <\/p>\n<p>The report says McElroy&#8217;s father admitted his son had been using drugs, and had hallucinations in the past. In February of 2013, McElroy called regarding a domestic dispute with his wife that she claimed they never had. <\/p>\n<p>McElroy didn&#8217;t have a record of violence except for one domestic battery call where his wife accused him of choking her and hitting her with a hammer but she never pursued charges<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yeah, but was he in the NICS system?<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE:<\/strong> Yay!
