“...Turning your back on a man being murdered, under any circumstance, is about as unmanly as it gets....”
Call it what you want. It’s still NOT worth going to jail for. I didn’t make their laws, you didn’t make their laws. They did. In those states, that same “man” would be throwing your azz in the slammer in a heart beat for over a year IF he knew you had the weapon. He signed up for the job knowing full well the current laws and conditions that he would have to deal with. Change the damn laws!!!
Gun friendly states: hell yeah, I’d be the first to jump in to assist. Those states? Nope...not gonna do it. Not worth going to jail over.
Solution: Nationwide conceal carry ensuring that a Good Samaritan act is not gonna get your azz landed in jail.
Wouldn't it be SO COOL to be there when some thugs are beating the crap out of a judge and be able to say to him, sorry pal but the law just won't let me lend you a hand... Too bad for you..! :)
Like I said - good thing it wasn’t California (where he was headed - a loaded handgun in the vehicle can get you in a heap of trouble in CA).
We have friends and family in Maine.
We don’t go very often, but every couple of years or so we go up there to visit em.
Unless we fly, in order to get there from Texas/Louisiana, we have to drive thru NY, CT & MA. My wife & I are both CCW permit holders in our state which are honored in every state we pass thru all the way up thru PA. We potty, top off the tank and unload/hide the guns at the PA/NY line which gives us just enough fuel to get us all the way into Maine. When we pass thru these anti-gun states, we stay completely on the interstate while maintaining flow with the traffic and don’t stop for any reason unless it’s just an outright sheer emergency....not even to potty. We don’t buy fuel, food or lodging in any of em. Only money spent is at their toll booths because we have to. Once at the Maine border, we will stop to potty, fuel up, reload, get some of those wicked Humpty Dumpty BBQ potato chips and a large, ice-cold bottle of that Moxie soft drink. Good stuff, that Moxie. We do the same in reverse on the way back.
