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 |
| The supposed quietude of a good mans allures the ruffian; while on the other hand, arms like laws discourage and keep the invader and the plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. The same balance would be preserved were all the world destitute of arms, for all would be alike; but since some will not, others dare not lay them aside...Horrid mischief would ensue were one half the world deprived of the use of them... — Thomas Paine, I Writings of Thomas Paine at 56 (1894). |
