Sort of sad...
It is pretty sad that we have to worry about being arrested and put in a cage, fined or have our property stolen for carrying a firearm to defend ourselves with all these laws on the books that are in DIRECT VIOLATION OF THE RIGHT TO SELF DEFENSE that existed long before any government existed.
ME? I carry and frankly don't give a fart about the "laws". If I were to get stopped I wouldn't give consent to a search of my vehicle for starters and if I were asked questions I didn't want to answer I'd just sit there with my mouth shut.
When I travel across this country I put magnetic decals on my van that say something on them that is deceptive. On both sides and the back. I figure, who would stop a van with those signs on them anyhow?
Sneaky? WHY NOT? THEY continually lie to us and frankly I'm staring to feel it's "us against them". PERIOD. And don't start "Romans 13 nonsense with me!" NOTHING trumps our rights. I'll look a guy in a clown suit in the eye and lie to him till I'm blue in the face if he is trying to ENFORCE an UNLAWFUL UNGODLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL LAW ON ME! Read Jeff Snyder's book... A Nation Of Cowards...

Subtitle...Essays on the Ethics of Gun Control...this is from one reviewer:
Jeff Snyder's "Nation of Cowards" breaks new ground in the gun control debate. While there have been several fine works exploring aspects such as the historical origins of the Second Amendment, or on the ineffectiveness of gun control laws, "Nation of Cowards" makes the case against gun control from an entirely fresh perspective - ethics.
Snyder makes a persuasive argument that self-defense is a personal responsibility, and that those who rely on the state (or its paid agents) for protection are shirking their ethical duty. Gun control laws are therefore impediments to ethical action by preventing people from utilizing the most effective means of self-defense.
"Nation of Cowards" is a must read for those who have an interest in the gun control debate. But be warned: Reading "Nation of Cowards" may force you to think, and to reconsider the way you look at yourself, government, the law, and their interrelationships.
I'm 50+ and have been carrying concealed for 35 years whenever I feel necessary, WITHOUT some man who works for a "states" permission.
IT IS MY RIGHT TO BE ABLE TO PROTECT MYSELF AND NO MAN HAS THE RIGHT TO TELL ME I CAN'T WITHOUT PLACING THEMSELVES IN A STATE OF WAR AGAINST ME. And fact is folks...you know that getting a CCW is simply registering yourself as a gun owner which most of you scream to the high heavens against when "they" try to pass a law saying they want you to register your guns. Slaves with guns is not a new concept.
"Any single man must judge for himself whether circumstances warrant obedience or resistance to the commands of the civil magistrate; we are all qualified, entitled, and morally obliged to evaluate the conduct of our rulers. This political judgment, moreover, is not simply or primarily a right, but like self-preservation, a duty to God. As such it is a judgment that men cannot part with according to the God of Nature. It is the first and foremost of our inalienable rights without which we can preserve no other."
– John Locke
What is everyone so afraid of?
Have I made myself clear? Am I radical? So were the Founding Fathers...
