Would you be okay for people with violent felony convictions being allowed to carry concealed or openly displayed firearms? I’m not referring to people who have received parking tickets or speeding tickets here.

In several rulings, the US Supreme Court has failed to uphold Felon In Possession (of a firearm) convictions for felons who had temporary access to and use of a firearm to defend themselves. Their reasoning was that self-defense was a basic human right.

Nice straw-man. Do you build them often?

People with a violent (actually any) felony conviction are already prohibited from owning guns, let alone carrying them.

No sir! As long as it wasn't some stupid incident where the law was used beyond it’s intent. If you saw your kid being beaten by a group and intervened and was charged with assault lets say. Is that Ok?

My point is that we can not all be perfect. Sometimes you have to do things in life. Now I’m not talking about a thief, rapist of murderer such as son of SAM. I’m talking about an average guy who thought he was doing the right thing or protecting his family. You know along those lines.

The problem is, the law does not recognize that. Especially in Md.

i am ok with that... there are laws against them owning them but if they need to protect themselves, ‘shall not be infringed’ means just that... if you think otherwise you are a gun grabber... just haggling on the price of freedom.
