Would you risk the comfort and peace, or a life without conflict, by being resistant? There may be times when you are harrassed by a LEO, due to excersizing your rights, because he is fed up with people calling in a MWAG, when all that person has to do is conform and get a CCWP. I have to ask. Is this not just a small price to pay? We are not being asked to shed blood to defend this right. We are only required to come to grips with our fears. The fear of being targeted as a non conformist trouble maker, or the fear of being harrassed by the authorities. There are people in this world, that believe so strongly in thier causes, that they are willing to not only shed blood, but to actually die for them. I say take a deep breath, and step out into the light of day, and face your fears. It will be the first step, that carries you down the path to bravery. Every time you win you become more confident. Learn your rights, and start winning. “Amen brother! I for one am very willing to be “harassed” and scrutinized for my right to bear ARMS, and for my defence of all other GOD given rights that are so well defined in the Constitution of these United States.
As Patrick Henry so eloquintly put it, “.............Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH”.
And that statement itself reveals how little the author knows about the corruption-riddled discretionary-issue concealed carry licensing system in so much of California.
