    Holy side-track, batman! This thread is a runaway train :)

    Nah, it all goes back to the rights we have to keep fighting for, over and over, and over again.

    Perhaps, if you somehow can gain a better understanding through discussion, you may even get to keep them. ;)

    The constitution is to place limits on the federal gov.

    NOTHING in the Bill of Rights says you have a right to be on my property, and you don't.

    If you have no right to be on my property, how can you have the right to carry on my property.

    I'm not violating your 2A rights, I'm not disarming you, I'm saying you can't enter my property unless you meet certain criteria. That is perfectly constitutional.


    (I used myself as an example, I generally don't have a problem with someone carrying on my property)

    YES to this.

    I understand wanting to OC i did it a couple times i LA and OKC. But nervous both times.
    I want the right to do so. I was kinda swinging to if it matters. But things have changed my mind.
    There's something going on elsewhere that i want to OC in certain cases. If for nothing else to be able to get to my weapon faster. But threatening them to pass it ain going to work.

    Manners kindness will get us further imho

    OC does have a place. In the aftermath of a hurricane when looters are on the prowl. A neighborhood with a significant OC population would likely be far down on the list of neighborhoods to loot.

    The Founding Fathers intended the US to be a federation of Sovereign States. After Lincoln's raping of the Constitution and the War of Northern Aggression, we became a Union of subject states.
    Agree 100%. We use to be a nation were States Rights were supreme.

    I'm just not getting involved. Not going to fight it either. I did not mean to imply that I am against it. Just not mustering up to join.

    This reminds me of the story of "The Little Red Hen". None of the barn yard animals would help her process the wheat or help bake the bread but they all sure wanted to eat and enjoy it. Which one are you fella?

    I fight for many rights I may never use, because that's how all rights are protected.

    I'll still fight for your rights also, even the ones I may not exercise. Guess I just got principles like that.

    If you think OC isn't about the greater gun rights battle, your wrong.
