I think your bluetooth ear piece saves your bacon.. I believe hands-free devices are excluded.

Just curious, in that context - and that context alone that an armed public keeps a corrupt government at bay, isn't it out of date? There was a time when governments would line up armies of solders and have them shoot at each other. The militia arms were not necessarily at a tactical disadvantage. These days, what is a government going to do when facing armed insurgents? Do we deploy a group of soldiers to line up and take pot-shots at the insurgents? No... We bomb them via a remote vehicle while sitting in a chair halfway around the world. There is no armed militia in the world that has a chance against an oppressive government armed with modern weapons.

I suppose the "Red Dawn" scenario might have some validity, but as a tool for keeping our own government thinking twice about military success? No way...

I'm in for concealed carry and self defense. I don't want to change the 2nd amendment. I just think that when drafted, the drafters had no means to see this far into the future.

End of off topic...
