For example, if someone wants to carry a concealed weapon, and lives in a state that does not allow it, they should move to a state that does permit it.

Here is a classic example of why your argument is worthless -- when the "law" itself is illegal (as in this case), it is, if anything, the responsibility of a good citizen to ignore and undermine it.

You have a point if a law is unconstitutional(guns, drugs, income tax), but that does not change the fact that breaking these laws is still illegal and will result in real jail time for non-judges who break "illegal" laws. A judge should be treated no differently than anyone else.

The responsiblity of a good citizen is not to ignore it, undermine it, and be put in prison, but rather, to change the law.
