8-28-1851: "If any of our friends are determined to go, we advise them to go well armed”

The Indiana State Sentinel, “Every citizen has a right to bear arms in defence of his person and his property . . . If any of our friends are determined to go, we advise them to go well armed”, Aug. 28, 1851

   Can anyone remember the last time a main-stream newspaper advised their readers to go "well armed"? Yeah, me neither....
