[Video] DC Permit Process, Cop Says 2nd Amendment is For “When the British Are Coming”
Guns Save Lives ^ | 11/13/14 | Dan Cannon

Investigative reporter Emily Miller, who literally wrote the book on gun rights in our nation’s capitol (see Emily Gets Her Gun), who is now a reporter with My Fox DC, attempts to obtain a permit to carry in Washington and the results are about what was expected.

What she found (and what most people already assumed) is that it’s pretty much impossible to get a permit to carry in DC. DC is currently a “may issue” district, which means you must prove you need a permit and it’s up to the authorities to decide if that need is legit.

Miller tried to argue that since she lives, works, and travels in one of the highest violent crime areas in the country (Washington DC) that she needs a permit. However, the officer she spoke with said that wasn’t good enough.

Should we have asked the British for permission back then too?

Do this ... Put an offensive bumper sticker on your car (Ie: Blame Me I'm Whitey) ... wait for threats (and record) ... then get your permit.

Use the system ...

Of course, you being able to defend your own life is not a good enough reason. Your government DOESN’T CARE IF YOU DIE. Why should they? They can always import more peasants, from third world countries. And the new ones won’t bitch so much about freedom.

It’s also when the thugs are coming, the meth zombies are coming, the animal rights terrorists are coming, the rioters are coming, the commie guerrillas are coming, the ISIS sleeper cells are coming, etc.

But according to the DC police, you have to prove imminent danger to you or your family.

The British ARE coming. The UK Muslims are joining ISIS and they have easy access to the USA. Be vigilant, be prepared, and carry concealed, it’s your constitutional right.

Well, when the thugs are kicking-in my door, I’ll apply for my permit.

.. “ the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be Infringed”- why are we playing along with this unAmerican regulation and litigation game? This only serves to weaken our rights - no government office has any authority to issue or require any gun licenses or permits from any American.

If the threat has to be imminent, you’ll never get the permit approved in time.

When denied a permit, ask the cop for the correct spelling on his last name. When he asks why, tell him you want your heirs to know who to sue when you are killed due to not being allowed to exercise your 2nd Amendment Right.

Drive to SouthEast, then record the death threats

Not the British per se —— but rather the Tyrants regardless of nation of origin, flatfoot.

Paul Revere did not warn, "The British are coming!"

He warned, "The Regulars are coming out!", meaning the regular army of his own government.

The city of Boston had been occupied by military of his own government in an attempt to coerce the civilian population into obeying the laws of Parliament. At the time there was no other army to oppose them.

“Cop Says 2nd Amendment is For “When the British Are Coming”

Wrong, it’s to protect us agaist enemies, “foreign and domestic” as a country or individuals. We should be prepared for when the “British are Coming” before the bombs are falling and the tanks are in the street and the skies are full of parachutes, or before you’re being mugged on the street or having your home invaded. When these things happen it’s a little late to get a permit, register and buy a firearm and become proficient with it and stockpile ammo.

In California, it’s guaranteed they’re coming. A recent ballot proposition (47) passed, providing for the state to open the front gates of the prisons to all kinds of criminals, on the basis that their most recent conviction (regardless of any violent criminal history before it) was “minor.” It’s in addition to a federal judge’s order for the state to open up the prisons for similar types due to overcrowding. Lock and load.
