"It is better to beg for forgiveness than ask for permission".
I can't tell you how many times, with few exceptions ("that's not your job") , that worked for me. Usually I was applauded for "initiative" or ignored, as things turned out better than non-action.
I’ll repeat what I posted to GrandJediMasterYoda:
Carry anyway. Quietly, and discretely. If you have to use it, you at least have a fighting chance. If you don’t have it, you’re dead.
That’s a REAL easy choice to make.
When the law endangers my life, I’m under no obligation to obey it. Competing Harms.
If we’re to call ourselves Free Men, we should behave like Free Men.
And don’t beg. They’re OUR servants, and we can and WILL throw their asses out on the street ultimately - one way or the other. It’s coming to it, because of them, not us.
As a firearms instructor, when people ask me “what should I do when I can’t carry?” I tell them everyone has to make that choice for themselves.
Choices have consequences, but it is still a choice, and you either choose to obey - and endanger your life, especially if you work or commute through sh*thole neighborhoods - or not.
I’ve got a family to take care of. My life means more to make than making some stupid subversive lib feel good.
So, as I said - that’s an easy choice. Pretty much period.
