A 71-year-old Alabama man who allegedly brought firearms and 11 molotov cocktails to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot pleaded guilty to weapons charges during a Friday hearing at a U.S. District Court.
Lonnie Coffman's red GMC Sierra pickup truck, parked near the Capitol on Jan. 6, was found to contain hundreds of rounds of ammunition and a trove of weapons, including an assault rifle, a crossbow and stun gun. He was arrested on Jan. 6 after the rally, and indicted on 14 counts in January.
Coffman pleaded guilty to two counts of possession of an unregistered firearm for the 11 molotov cocktails - a cooler of mason jars filled with rags and ignitable substances - and to unlawfully carrying a pistol without a license in Washington, D.C.

Tourists... No weapons...
Does not say how much time he will get but at 71, I hope it is the rest of his miserable life.
