I would feel very safe if Gary was anywhere Gary is.

Good lord!

It is too early to be drunk!

We do have a national CCW card - it is the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

[Taxman]

I would feel very safe if I were with Gary, anyplace Gary is?

[Taxman]

Yep. Perzactly what the Founders intended -- they knew the government could not guarantee the peoples' safety.

Ultimately, we are responsible for our own safety, and it is a crime that the Federal government does not recognize and take advantage of that fact! And take advantage of the fact that there are many of us out here that are more than able and willing to do so, and to protect our fellow citizens at the same time!

[Taxman]

Right on!

[Taxman]

Then let us send it to President Bush -- gotta start somewhere!

[Taxman]

BTW, Gary does read FRee Republic, and occasionally will post here.

[Shooter 2.5]

I guess you didn't read the last sentence in my post.

[Bigun]

Gary makes a very compelling argument to improve homeland security.

Indeed he does! Wonder if anyone is listening?

[Taxman]

Well, I read it, but I must have misunderstood what you were trying to say.

I presume by your post #28 that you do not believe the government has the legal authority to license a Constitutional right, either?

[Taxman]

I hope so. Have you pinged your personal list to get them on board with us?

[Shooter 2.5]

Correct. I don't believe that licensing a Right is legal.

At the moment though, we take what we can get. There is only one State in the Union that does it correctly and that's Vermont. When there are towns in other States that make it illegal to even own a handgun, there is definitely something wrong. I"m still waiting for that person to walk up to the police officer in Washington D.C and explain that they are carrying and change the gun laws forever by bringing it to the Supreme Court. In the meantime all we have is Emerson VS. U.S.

Although Mr. Aldrich doens't come right out and say it, he seems to think that ex-leo's have some sort of inside track on the right to keep and bear arms. Other than that he's right on!

"A well-regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed." - Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution

Thank you for flying Liberty Airlines.
Have a safe flight!

Please download and sign the Petition to Attorney General Ashcroft, asking him to enforce the Second Amendment.
To arms, to arms, the terrorists are coming!

America's Militia wants YOU!
Nine out of ten Americans will fight to keep George W. Bush in the white house, and Osama bin Laden out!

Congress has provided (Article I - Section. 8, U.S. Constitution) the Militia with a means to arm themselves: CMP (Civilian Markmenship Program).

I flew two days ago and I said the same thing as he did--nobody was taking over the plane unless they killed me first !

I'm not an FBI agent nor a retired one

Lets ROLL !

The WDC and NYC ban on firearms have always puzzled me -- HST, it is very expensive (1/2 million $$$ +!) to take a case to the Supreme Court, which is why their restrictions have not been challenged.

As I understand it, until a law is thrown out by the Supremes, it is law, Constitutional or not.

In the meantime, We the People suffer. Rule of Law, indeed!

[Taxman]

Well, retired LEOs and military personnel are kind of a natural "go to" for what he is suggesting, don't you think?

HST, a federal "Vermont style" carry law is really what is needed in America. (I can hear the anti-second Amendment whackos screaming now!)

Thanks for all the links. I have already sent my petition in. Interesting web sites, noted and bookmarked.

[Taxman]

Roger that!

>> As I understand it, until a law is thrown out by the Supremes, it is law, Constitutional or not.

That's not entirely accurate. A jury may decide a law is unconstitutional and acquit (Jury Nulification).

Molon Labe!

[Taxman]

I know about jury nullification, but wasn't thinking about it. Jury nullification only applies to specific individuals, however. The unconsittutional law will still be enforced, right? Until the Supremes strike it down.

[TERMINATTOR]

Sorry for the confusion. I should not have not called an unconstitutional legislative act a "law". It is not. If you're obeying unconstitutional legislation or regulations you're breaking the law, or at least aiding and abetting lawlessness. IMO the overwhelming majority of legislation is unconstitutional. It's nearly impossible to avoid criminal (unconstitutional) behavior unless you're a dedicated outlaw. Rule of thumb: when in doubt, ignore the so called law. It's called "civil disobedience". If one juror agrees with you (hung jury), then you've become a law abiding citizen. Law abiding citizens are about as rare as honest politicians or judges IMHO.
