Re: Convince me that constitutional carry is a good thing

We were subject to search and seizure, for any or no reason. Not complying to direct orders subjected us to imprisonment. We were told where we must live.

The rules that we were to live buy were enforcible by force or imprisonment. No civilian is required by our constitution to risk ones lives by force of criminal law. I personally had volunteered, but many were drafted.

Re: Convince me that constitutional carry is a good thing

The right to vote was sacrificed for many of us. the absentee ballots almost never got out to us in tim at least during the early 70s. The one right I lost that I most detested was the right to come and go as I please. Some posts required a pass (written permission) to leave the post. The concept of not being able to quit my job whenever I wanted without criminal repercussions was the main reason I didn't re=up. When you are in an enlisted man in the Army, you are property of the Army.

Everyday I get an email listing new businesses which have posted either sign or both. I can see more of the same if constitutional carry is not done correctly. There will, or should be, one heck of a large campaign to educate the public or we could end up seeing even less places to carry in. We all know the ones who wish to ban guns will be out there "educating" the public. As the old saying goes, careful what you wish for. On an unrelated note, I would will to see the 06 and 07 signs with an expiration date, hopefully some businesses would not replace them.
Hopefully they won't mess with a 30.06 or 30.07 signs. Maybe one of the standard "No Beretta" pictogram signs.

Re: Convince me that constitutional carry is a good thing

While I believe that everyone should have the right to carry and own unconditionally (or uninfringed) I would like to see the four rules and the second amendment printed and distributed with every box of ammo, every gun, and every accessory. This is probably education enough to start ..

The argument is that it is a constitutional right and other things are just a privilege like driving a car. i would sure hate to see people on the road without passing an exam and some knowledge of the law, be it driving or carry. We have an excellent record in the public's mind right now, it may not be so good if completely untrained people carried. Of course, I would like to see a literacy test before getting into the voting booth. I am sure that I will be flamed over this but so what.
People are everywhere now carrying without incident, rifles, Handguns under MPA all over the place, especially this time of year during hunting season. I do hope that they continue the license program because my CHL now works in over 30 states and I've been to quite a few of them and would like to visit a few more.I wouldn't complain if they made improved the knowledge in a more widespread manner. Maybe the teach it in the public schools. This knowledge has proven more valuable to most people than, say, something like Algebra.
