So not only do you advise drawing a gun in a situation that (according to statistics) will most likely end right then and there with you walking home to cancel your credit cards, but you also suggest outright disobeying the law?
I took a long break from these forums because of the whole sheepdog argument, but despite my own feelings of protecting myself and others, I'm still going to obey the law, and I'm not going to risk getting shot over some credit cards. If anything, my military ID and classified courier card gives me more of a reason to draw compared to somebody losing only their driver's license and credit cards, but as long as you don't escalate the situation through body language and what you say, there's a very, very high chance of walking home that night. Drawing in that kind of situation where the BG has the drop on you is a surefire way to get killed if you underestimated their reaction time and/or training. Not worth the risk IMHO.
You've had to draw your weapon 4 times? You have to break the law in order to carry? Sounds like somebody needs to move.
I also can't carry on base. I may not like it, but that's the law, and what do we do about laws we don't like? We fight to get them changed, and observe the law until they are.
just some info on laws,
Constitution of the Republic of the United States of America
Article 6 Supremacy Clause (please read and reshearch)
SCOTUS opinions:
Norton v. Shelby County, 118 US 425
"Any unconstitutional act is not law, it confers no rights, it imposes no
duties, it affords no protection, it
creates no office, it is an illegal contemplation, as inoperative as
though it had never been passed."
Boyd v. US, 116 US 616
5th Amendment rights. "...constitutional provisions for the security of
person and property should be
liberally construed... It is the duty of the courts to be watchful for
the constitutional rights of citizens,
and against any stealthy encroachment thereon."
US v. Bishop, 412 US 346
Relying on prior decisions of the Supreme Court is a perfect defense
against willfulness.
U.S. v. Minker, 350 US 179, at page 187
"Because of what appears to be a lawful command on the surface, many
citizens, because
of their respect for what only appears to be a law, are cunningly coerced
into waiving their
rights, due to ignorance." (Paraphrased)
Bennett v. Boggs, 1 Baldw. 60 (1830). "Statutes that violate the plain
and obvious principles of common right and common reason are null and void."
We the people/citizens have the tools we need to enforce them by standing up and fighting for our right to be left alone as to what concerns us alone.
U.S. v. Morris. 125 F 322, 325. "Every citizen and freeman is endowed
with certain rights and privileges to enjoy which no written law or statute is
required. These are the fundamental or natural rights, recognized among
all free people."
U.S. v. Tweel, 550 F. 2d 297 (1977)
"Silence can only be equated with fraud where there is a legal or moral
duty to speak or
where an inquiry left unanswered is intentionally misleading".
