My friend told me he didn’t want to get a concealed carry license because that might put him on a government list. I had to think for a minute before I said anything.
My friend has strong political beliefs. He should probably stop donating to politicians if he wants to stay off a government list. My friend should probably stop donating to his church. Maybe he should turn in his guns too.
I do have a question for him. Let us say he, and millions of others, did all these things. Does that make us safer.. or are we at a greater risk of our government abusing its power?
What do you think? I'm asking for a friend. |

Just a few years ago, to get a carry license in Cali, one had to list the serial number of those handguns. You bet I didn't want to be on that list. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
