Re: Unlicensed open-carry poll: 30.06

Do we fear fighting for our constitutional rights based on the risk that state controlled privileges will be restricted?

CHL laws are the State's method for controlling who can and who can't LEGALLY carry a concealed handgun in public. Therefore, the entire CHL system is simply masking the fact that our right to keep and BEAR arms is, has been, and continues to be infringed. CHL does not grant you any rights...the State can revoke it as a result of any legislative session, and for many other reasons outside that.

CHL does, however, let the State track exactly how many law abiding citizens are carrying guns in public. That's one of those facts that incoming totalitarian governments love to know.

We take what we can get, and if CHL is the best we can do, then I have no choice but to live with it, but I'll be a monkey's uncle if I'm going to stop fighting for my real rights just because the State grants me a privilege to legally utilize a small portion of those rights.
