You boast about your courage, demonstrate it. Don’t lecture me about standing up to the state until you’ve demonstrated you’re willing to do the same. Be brave, c’mon, show the world you’re not afraid. Talk is cheap, walk the walk.
By the way, whatever things seem like to you? That concerns me not at all, I know what I’m talking to.
As a retired Marine, Vietnam veteran, my BRAVERY is not in question. As one who wishes to maintain a low profile... well, that’s what I do. I will not counsel you to get the hammer of the State pounding you, but you sound like you were BRAGGING about having PERMISSION to exercise a God-given RIGHT! And THAT really gets me Irish up. You should be advocating that your state do as Vermont, Alaska, Arizona and some other states have done, go to Constitutional Carry. That means NO permission slip is needful, for eiither open or concealed carry.and ZERO state obstacles to purchase your desired weapon.
