scratching head, "and why do I keep renewing my permit in a state that doesn't require one?"

Those kind of acts garner trust and loyalty

Because, without one, you can't carry in other states.

Timing is everything and budget deficits mean something...

An interesting 2010 article describing one possible path for legislative pushback that might now get some legs in response to the registration, publication and eventual confiscation dynamic currently taking place in NY and CT.

"Enormous police effort that could be going directly toward reducing crime is instead being diverted into registering, regulating and tracking the innocent."

Constitutional Carry

The right to discreetly bear arms should not require government-issued permission slips.


It's time for "Freedom To Carry" to replace "Right To Carry"

You're right...

Looking forward to the day that the courts use a dictionary on the word "Bear" (the verb). Would sure hate to have to carry a bear around

This essay is directed to you, because in the end, how this turmoil about gun control turns out will depend largely upon your decisions and actions over the coming months and years.

I sincerely wish that members of Congress—who may soon be voting on new gun control measures—would read this essay, but I realize that’s a pipe dream, considering the impenetrable bubbles around those exalted entities. So I’ll settle for you, Mr. (or Ms.) Security Agent, since you already gobble up everything on the internet, and I don’t have to seek you out.

A decade ago I wrote the novel Enemies Foreign and Domestic, a tale about how tragic events involving the misuse of firearms can be used by an evil administration to misinform and mold public opinion to support its malign anti-freedom policies...."(cont. at link)

Very interesting reads.

TR

His YELLOW, RED and DEAD LINES I totally agree with. We can all see this happening across America. The chipping away of freedom in a subversion and sabotage style that in under the radar for most.

I think Switzerland and Israel or better examples of nations that have good gun-control and citizens that understand the use of guns.

In reference to Examiner article.

When all this started many of the Sheriffs in Montana got together and went on all the local News to let everyone know "we won't enforce any gun law that 'infringes' on the 2nd Amendment". It was the wisest thing to do there.

Hmm there's some other simple words...
"Shall not be infringed" wtf

Proud of you Connecticut, very.

I'm curious if any Staties signed it, and how many of them feel?
