OC Understanding & Clarification of Rights
So I have been exercising my rights to OC here and there and would like to do this full time. I have no conundrums or hesitation about doing so, however, I do feel like I need a better understanding of my rights. In the event I were to encounter a dispute from LEO, or uneducated Joe citizen, I do not feel I am as equipped verbally and factually as I should be. I am a firm believer in standing up for my rights, others rights and what I believe in, I just feel it is difficult to argue a case if you don't have all the facts to do so.
I have printed and read the flyer on this site as well as the NCDOJ Firearms Laws dated Dec 2011.
NJDOJ does not site anything specific to statues concerning open carry, that is legal or lawful. There is some mention under CC statutes that site reference to not being allowed open or conceal carry, for example schools, but again nothing specifically pertaining to open carry.
I assume the right lies in Article 1 Sec. 30? I noticed it has language to really discourages concealed carry and found that quite interesting. I particularly enjoyed the "as standing armies in time of peace are dangerous to liberty, they shall not be maintained, and the military shall be kept under strict subordination to, and governed by, the civil power." Things that make you go hmmmmmm.
Look a puppy- Without getting sidetracked, according to Article 1, several of my rights like not agreeing to paying taxes (sec. 8) are being abused daily as I never consented, but that is an entirely different subject and conversation- It just makes me sick.
I guess my question here is there a statute that specifically sites my ability as a citizen to lawfully open carry or is it just Article 1 Sec. 30, the right to keep and bear arms?
What factual information and lawful artillery do I have to defend this right?
I have no problem educating others and being and advocate to protect our 2A rights, I just want the knowledge to do so confidently and properly educated to defend, protect my rights and ,make others aware.
