If a law is unjust, a man is not only right to disobey it, he is obligated to do so. – Thomas Jefferson
The more I read of and from our Forefathers, the more I feel a little torn in how to go about certain things. I live in Louisiana where OCing is legal without any sort of permit. There are politicians that are trying to have that changed for the worst. I have to wonder what kind of response I would have. My first thought would be to OC anyway. But, I don't know how a confrontation of any sort should or would be handled.
I haven't had much time to do a lot of research, but the more that I learn and read about Jefferson, the more admiration I have for the guy. This also ends up making me feel a little disheartened with the way the country is today. The more I learn, the more I lean to simply being just a Constitutionalist. Which means that I see the Second Amendment as being a very important issue. It should be interpreted as it reads and as it was meant.
I saw someone mention the idea of a bunch of people getting together and OCing in Texas, because there is no way the police could arrest everybody. The first reply was that it was a very bad idea, and that no one should try it. My first reaction, however, was that it's an awesome idea. It is a true, physical exercise of your Constitutional rights.
Unfortunately, I'm not really sure how to end this so . . . . .
