just finished reading the same book I did...A LIBERTARIAN WALKS INTO A BEAR/The Utopian Plot to Liberate an American Town ( and Some Bears) · by Matthew Hongoltz-Hetling

It's written by a journalist who interview townspeople in Vermont where there was a ten year experiment, a plan to take over an American town and completely eliminate its government. In 2004, they set their sights on Grafton, NH, a barely populated settlement with one paved road to create a libertarian paradise. Of course, it all went sideways.

A judge will soon rule on a case involving alleged zoning violations at Slate Ridge, a tactical gunfighting facility in West Pawlet, following a contentious two-hour hearing Wednesday morning.

Tom Durkin, superior judge for the Environmental Division, will make a decision in February about whether Daniel Banyai, the owner of Slate Ridge, is violating the town’s zoning bylaws.

Attorneys for the town say Slate Ridge is unlawfully operating a gun range and training center in a residential area, and has not sought permits for buildings or structures on the property.
