Thanks for the comeback, DoodleBob.
I see your point, and acknowledge that there is some danger in raising the REAL meaning of the Second Amendment to the SCOTUS at this time.
HST at some point, these local/state/federal laws restricting We the People’s Constitutional right have got to be adjudicated by SCOTUS.
Otherwise, we’ll be nickeled and dimed to the point of being totally disarmed, which is the LIEberal objective, of course.
We have to take the chance that Constitutional Carry will eventually be the law of the land, and I am all in with that!
I just had another thought — General Patton famously said:
“Never take counsel of your fears.”
To NOT force the issue forward a cop-out, IMHO. Let us get the issue on the table, debate it, get a court ruling and move on!
To put a fine point on this topic, let's follow Gen MacArthur in WWII, specifically Operation Cartwheel. Mac always, ALWAYS, fought to win. But in these plans circa March 1943, he delayed the capture of the Japanese base at Rabaul until 1944 because...
My strategic conception for the Pacific Theater, which I outlined after the Papuan Campaign and have since consistently advocated, contemplates massive strokes against only main strategic objectives, utilizing surprise and air-ground striking power supported and assisted by the fleet. This is the very opposite of what is termed "island hopping" which is the gradual pushing back of the enemy by direct frontal pressure with the consequent heavy casualties which will certainly be involved. Key points must of course be taken but a wise choice of such will obviate the need for storming the mass of islands now in enemy possession. "Island hopping" with extravagant losses and slow progress...is not my idea of how to end the war as soon and as cheaply as possible. New conditions require for solution and new weapons require for maximum application new and imaginative methods. Wars are never won in the past.
The concealed carry gains at the state level have been achieved via massive strokes against only main strategic objectives, utilizing surprise and air-ground striking power supported and assisted by the fleet. Yes...NJ and other states lacking a state constitutional guarantee to KABA are suffering. But their liberation via a SCOTUS case with this current group of justices is, IMHO, akin to a direct assault on Rabaul in 1943.
