I agree, but I'll lay you 10 to one odds that he's convicted. Whether the law is unconstitutional or not, it's the current law, and the jury must either enforce it or nullify it with an acquittal. The odds favor enforcement. I can appreciate what these guys are doing, but what sense is there in going to jail?

He can't challenge the law unless he is arrested and convicted, or the trial judge overturns the law, like the Federal Judge in the Emerson case did with the Lautenberg domestic violence Law. The path to protection of rights can lead through the courts as well as the legislative process.
