The bottom line is this. If you want to make your voice heard, have at it. If you want to exercise your Second Amendment right to protect yourself from physical harm or government overreach, more power to you. But if your rifle is pointed, figuratively, at your fellow citizens instead of the government, you’re only turning public opinion against its proper use. Keep it at home so you still have it if or when it’s really needed.
Ed: Of course you have 2A rights, as long as you never use them. Sheesh. |

| I'm ambivalent on this issue, but not 50-50; more like 75-20. CCW removes the burr from under the saddle, but open carry can deter things that would otherwise happen. |

TO REMEMBER |
| There are other things so clearly out of the power of Congress, that the bare recital of them is sufficient, I mean the "...rights of bearing arms for defence, or for killing game..." These things seem to have been inserted among their objections, merely to induce the ignorant to believe that Congress would have a power over such objects and to infer from their being refused a place in the Constitution, their intention to exercise that power to the oppression of the people. —ALEXANDER WHITE (1787) |
