Lawful Aim, all that stuff you say about california being a free state sounds right, but it's wrong. Go open carry a loaded handgun and tell us how free you are behind bars. The only way to actually be free is to resist arrest even if it meant death to you, which no one will do. New Hampshire's motto of "Live Free or Die" will be just that, a cool catch phrase that people say but never live by. Why? Because no one wants to die.
I'm slowly accepting that we no longer live in a free country. As long as I have a license to carry in my wallet this is NOT a free country.
