Ref your: "Anyone who actually reads AND understands the 2nd Amendment will see that there is no need or authority for any type of gun registration and there is no need for anyone to have to apply for a license to carry a gun."

This is true, but, due to the Overwhelming ability of the USA Courts and Politicians to use our Tax Dollars to bankrupt anybody who dares to exercise the "RIGHT", it is totally impractical for individual citizens to fight the current system under which we, as citizens are progressively reclaiming our RIGHTS.

Reference our Web Site: Ohioans for Concealed Carry
http://www.ofcc.net/

which has been successful and largely responsible for converting Ohio to a Concealed Carry State.

The Constitutionally Protected Rights were taken away by the Judicial Branch and the Legislature and the Executive Branch over the past 228 years, and we are making great progress over the past 12 years at reclaiming our rights, largely due to the power of the Internet and sites such as FreeRepublic.com.

On September 25, 2003, the Ohio Supreme Court declared that the State had the power to ban "Hidden Guns" since the citizens had another way (Open Carry) to exercise their right to carry firearms as spelled out in the Ohio Constitution, not to mention the 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution. The Supreme Court Justices laughed at the "Low Life" citizens who would consider such a thing as openly carrying firearms, but they were WRONG. We seized upon their words in "Klein vs. Leis" to declare Ohio as "OHIO CARRY" State and many of us began Openly Carrying our Firearms, participating in state-wide Open Carry "DEFENSE WALKS" while carefully still complying with the laws against carrying loaded firearms in our cars. We then leveraged this "Ohio Carry" to get the Ohio HB12 passed and even signed by RINO Governor Taft on January 7, 2004 for implementation on 8-APR-2004.

Now, holding our OH, FL, and PA CHL's we can choose many states in the USA where our Vacation and Business Travel Dollars are welcome and we can largely avoid the rest!

Now, you can wait for the 2nd Amendment to actually get re-established by citing references to Thomas Jefferson, but I guarantee that that has not worked, except as motivation to individuals in groups like Ohioans For Concealed Carry all over this great nation to, brick by brick, remove the barriers and re-claim our rights.
