Seriously though injustice *IS* the law of the land. One hopes for Jury Nullification in this case.

I'd rather hope for the elimination of the licensing law on constitutional grounds, but that isn't likely - yet. Perhaps some day we will again have a supreme court that actually respects the constitution verbatim.

A jury nullification of the particular law would not, in itself, produce the results you want.

We agree that certain regulations are a patent violation of the 2nd Amendment--this one is among them.

That being said, the possibility of jury nullification is very interesting. Here's a guy who is like most Americans--military vet, hardworking, wife and child. He uses a weapon ONLY when it is obvious that such use is the ONLY way to stop the intrusion---and he had reason to believe that the intrusion could present a deadly threat to his family and himself.

PERFECT!!

The case will get national attention (Hannity, Rush, and OReilly are already on it.) We now have a great setup: a stupid DA enforcing a stupid law vs. a sympathetic defendant.

Not all bad...

Our Constitution gaurantees the rights of the Citizens to Keep and Bear arms. To hell with this licensing crap. Ignore the law, break the law if necessary and force them in that respect to CHANGE the law.

Free men (not Freemen) own weapons.
Slaves do not
