Oh I totally agree! But in my situation, I feel it is the best tool and I'm willing to accept any consequences of my actions.

People would change their tunes if the government took away rights to gun ownership, everyone talks about "they'll never get my gun." Why does everyone bend over for restrictions on when/how/where you can carry? It's a very fine line between looking down on what someone believes and then you being the one looked down upon. Especially when it comes to government interfering with things they were never intended. Ron Paul speaks to it better than I do.


I think this thread has gone way off topic and it's now a thread about my personal beliefs and how they are apparently not welcome here. My apologies to the OP. I won't be posting again.

It interesting that you'd be ashamed. A lot of what is in this thread is hypothetical, and possibly not true, but said for the sake of argument. I have asked nor condoned anyone to break the law. It shouldn't matter to you what other people do in their lives.

I just wanted to emphasize a point that IMO no law comes above making the choice to defend myself. That choice is anyone's to make.

I agree, violate criminal laws and you are a criminal (if you are convicted, innocent until proven guilty). Just ask the signers of the Declaration of Independence. It's easy to look down on people and their beliefs and opinions. That is, until there is a law enacted that pulls at your own moral fiber and core. But I suppose that's another debate.

Ashamed or not, I truly hope everyone here has an incredible Thanksgiving day. We all have MUCH to be thankful for.
