Former Three Percenter says he took a gun to January 6 Capitol attack

The one-time communications director of the far-right Texas Three Percenters militia group, now a government witness, told a jury that he and his former associate, defendant Guy Reffitt, brought firearms to Washington, D.C., and zip ties and radios to the Capitol grounds on January 6, 2021, ahead of the assault on the U.S. Capitol.


Rocky Hardy, of Texas, took the stand on Friday after entering an agreement with prosecutors that grants him immunity against crimes discussed as part of his testimony.

Hardy said he took a loaded handgun strapped to a shoulder sling to the Capitol and that Reffitt, too, brought firearms to the Washington, D.C., area.
