Yeah, I know. Another one that peeves me is a permit to assemble. "Uh, Big Brother, may we get together and protest you?"
I have complete sympathy for anyone who packs iron without a permit, if they are packing it for protection. But I guess I'm not ready to encourage it, because it can mean jail time, unfortunately. I have had a weapon in my vehicle and have crossed the border into collectivist states where I could have been arrested for it. That's unbelievable, to me! I'm not going to try to figure out which states are Constitutional and which ones aren't before I travel, though.
