A 45-year-old Indiana man has attracted attention to himself after protesting the suspension of his driver’s license by carrying an assault rifle around on foot, WLFI-TV reported.

“I’m not willing to pay for something I didn’t do anymore,” Mulberry resident Jim Sanders was quoted as saying. “I’ve put out enough, given them enough. I’m not going to do it anymore.”

Sanders’ license was suspended after accumulating more than $900 in fines for various traffic violations, including possession of multiple licenses and failure to signal. After refusing to pay the fines, Sanders began taking the rifle with him while he walked. Police said state law allows him to do so, as long as he does not use it to threaten anyone.

However, Sanders told WLFI he only follows “lawful laws,” meaning he abides by the federal Constitution, but not local statutes or laws. He denied being part of the “sovereign citizen” movement, but identified himself as a “sovereign man.”
