SPRINGFIELD, Missouri - A man who walked into a Missouri Walmart with loaded weapons and wearing body armor acknowledges the timing was bad but says he doesn't regret his actions.

Twenty-year-old Dmitriy Andreychenko is charged with making a terrorist threat after the Aug. 8 incident at a Walmart in Springfield.

Shoppers fled and Andreychenko was held at gunpoint by an off-duty firefighter before he was arrested. He said in a probable cause statement that he was testing whether Walmart would protect his right to openly carry weapons ...

Andreychenko .. told KYTV he .. was surprised by the reaction.

Wouldn't it make this country so much greater if there were armed gunmen wearing body armor wherever we went?

You have one shot, just one, at the end of a criminal trial. You can mitigate (lessen) your sentence if you express regret and make it credible during the sentencing stage.

No regrets and it’s maybe 10 days since? I hope they throw the book at him, but even if not, it will be a long time before this is over for him if ever.

I predict he’ll be whining his regrets before a year passes.
