Fully agree with you there ... on a few occasions, I felt the need to go about armed while living in Maryland ... totally illegal, of course. "Concealed" means nobody knows you have it.
Amen...
I don’t remember ANYWHERE in the Constitution where it mentions “totally Illegal” or “Illegal guns”, or “concealed”, or “sporting purpose” or, or...
I do remember that it says “The RIGHT of the people to Keep and Bear Arms shall not be infringed” though...
I will carry WHEN and WHERE I choose, IF I choose, and BECAUSE it is MY RIGHT to do so as an AMERICAN CITIZEN. I will protect myself, my family and anyone around me. People are SAFER because I carry, even though they won’t ever have to know it.
I am not a subject - I am a citizen, with rights that are worth FIGHTING AND DYING FOR. So are you. So are we ALL out here.
Until we ALL start to remember that and live it, this will only get worse.
People DIED for this right. This young man DIED because he either chose NOT to exercise his right to carry (bad), did not KNOW he had a right to carry (worse), or “did not like guns...and did’t feel the need to own one.” (Worst).
You’re either sheep, wolves, or sheepdogs.
Clearly, the gangsta-thug-underprivileged baggypants rappers were even less than wolves. They were simply rabid dogs that should have been shot down in the street.
This is what we’ve come to. Anyone had enough yet? Then start carrying. Follow the law as much as you can, but if the law threatens your life as much as a criminal does, well, then you have to make that choice for yourselves. “Competing Harms”, I believe it’s called.
I already know my decision.
