... The martial arts ends up with people that think that because they are a black belt in karate that makes them an expert in everything, and if you disagree you can fight it out with them...
leasantry:I see it as no different thatn having to get a license to drive or fly a plane or "slice and dice " as a doctor.:no:
"
Carrying a firearm any way I want to is a RIGHT. EVERY law currently on the books concerning firearms is an affront and an encroachment on my RIGHT."

The way I see it, carrying a firearm IS a RIGHT we have. But I don't see EVERY law on the books being an affront to it.
I personally don't have a problem with "some"/a little regulation. All kinds of things are regulated, less they get completely our of control. If you want to carry a firearm, I think you should be able to...anywhere in this Country. It is a Constitutionally mandated right. I shouldn't have to look at a map when traveling to see which State or locale I can carry in, and which ones don't allow it. I also think I have the right to carry it concealed or open, at my discretion.
I do, however, think that it isn't an affront to my rights when the NCIC wants to check me out to make sure the permit they are issuing is going to a law-abiding citizen. In fact, I feel a LOT safer with this provision in place. Once you have committed a bad crime, you don't have a RIGHT anymore to carry a gun!
Look at it this way. If we read in the morning paper about a two time convicted armed robber getting a concealed carry permit, we'd all hit the roof!! Because, after all, they are a citizen of the U.S., so using your logic, THEY have a RIGHT to carry a gun.....IF...it was unregulated.
Let's face it, we can argue/discuss to the cows come home, but we live in a world where regulation takes place all around us, and always will. I just don't see the big deal about having to apply for a permit...as long as it's treated in a "must issue" way. No State has the authority to pick and choose which law-abiding citizens get a permit. I'm DEFINITELY against that!
Now, when is South Carolina going to wake up and pass Open Carry? I don't want us to be the last of the seven remaining States that finally do it!
What about "equal" rights? Who gets the rights and who doesn't? Should violent felons who've been paroled after serving their time have the right to own and carry firearms? What about people with reduced mental capacity, autism, whatever? Where does the Constitution say some people don't have all the same rights as others?Every gun law on the books is a violation of my RIGHT, and yours.
