Is it chains or additional freedoms? Guess that depends on point of view.
I carry any way i wish, a pair of Glocks and lots of ammo. Did my great grandfathers have that ability?
I have it better than any previous generation and i see the foundation crumbling on many fronts. I do not see CC permits as a problem in the big pucture. The FBI lying about who killed Kennedy and the navy working to alter the body at the autopsy, that level of problems concerns me much more.
On 911 we have millions of people beliving airplanes hit dirt in one case and concrete in another case, and all plane parts turned to dust, no remains. My greatest problem is not a social tax in my pocket called a CC permit, it is a government out of control on big issues and the people wasting time not seeing the big picture, arguing over trivial stuff.
Lets fix the big issues, then the small things like permits will go away on their own.
