LOL! Good for you, & for him for actually being willing to learn.Rich7553 said:You should have seen the look of disbelief on the face of a Fort Myers PD officer who questioned the legality of OC'ing while fishing when I told him that both he and I were authorized to OC under the same statute. It was almost as good as when I proved it to him. Priceless!!!
A person engaged in fishing, camping, or lawful hunting or going to or returning from a fishing, camping, or lawful hunting expedition.
BTW, if OC is the privilege granted by statute, then why isn't cc the right... with no gov't interference, no tax, no permit, no registration, etc.? One of them has to be free & not under gov't control.
Your - possessive
You're - You are
There - Adverb: In, at, or to that place or position
Their - possessive
They're - They are
That is all.
That's basically my argument: We shouldn't have to screw around with the unreliable legislature. The state by it's own constitution may regulate the manner of bearing arms, not ban both methods. They could ban one or the other, or require a license for one or the other, or restrict places, but that's it. They've done all that plus banning both except for allowing you to buy the privilege of a CWFL and carry concealed.
I don't think it has ever been challenged, but it should be. Current law is obviously unconstitutional.
Sounds like Sean and Co. are actually planning a suit. Didn't give me any details, it's not fully formed or filed yet, but we are planning on taking it to the courts.

Details will not be forthcoming. I know you guys are chomping at the bit for information, but anything we release would fall into the hands of the opposition, i.e. the Brady Campaign. We hope you understand. We lost a battle with SB 234, but the war has just begun.
I signed up with big dreams and a belief that there was good in the world and I was going to be part of it. When I found myself in a den of snakes, and that I signed up to be one of them, I was crushed. And for the reasons I cited when leaving (they asked me in an 'exit interview'), well, I've told that story... Their wrath continues to this day.
I didn't think evil of that magnitude existed in the US of A. But it does, and it wears a badge and uniform in Circus County.
Anyways, my point was that if someone wanted to 'be part of the solution,' they shouldn't be intimidated by the material. Anyone can do it. It's the unwritten part you have to watch out for...
Yup!It's the unwritten part you have to watch out for...
A right earned?
First off, certain rights are guaranteed at birth and cannot be "earned". 25 years in the Corps earned me nothing aside from a decent pension and health benefits. Nowhere does the Constitution say that law enforcement personnel have a different right than the average citizenry and that document supersedes everything else. Sort of the reason it was created to begin with.
When I grew up in Manhattan, the police were forced, under the uniform rules of the time, to carry their service revolvers under winter cover garments from October to April. Saw more than one poor soul flounder to retrieve the thing, and under enough pressure the NYPD at long last changed these ludicrous stipulations, just as all other ludicrous stipulations that prevent all men of good will from exercising a Constitutional right should also be changed.
