So you haven't been cited since '77, so what. I can't believe you said I was correct. You really are full of yourself. Gods gift to mankind huh? Everyone accidentally violates traffic laws nearly everyday, even if its going one mile over the limit. Its regular practice to go at least 5 mph over the limit on the interstate, and I've found you can usually do 10-15 over.
So as much as I like to watch Doug handle himself professionally and in a gentleman like manner, and as I really like to give everyone the benefit of doubt, I just have to chime in on this one. Dustiniac you challenge Doug with the never accidentally broke the law question as a comparison to your own confession of going out daily with many illegal exceptions on your vehicle, as well as naming a few places on your vehicle to conceal your firearm, somehow openly. Well I don't necersarily know if it reflects on the 'movement' unless you have open carry banners on your car, but it does indicate a disrespect for 'proper' authority. IMO I think you need to choose your points of contention with the law in a more discretionary manner.
I don't know either of you gentlemen personally, but Doug has made some good points that I don't see going anywhere with Dustiniac. I agree there are issues with some laws these days and how they are interpreted, and we need to fight against some of those in the wrong. But we can't just throw them all in the crapper.
Dustiniac, thanks for fighting for our liberties in the 'younger' generation, choose your fights wisely. Doug thanks for patrolling the seas so I can remain a free man. I need to listen to Doug's experience and I need to hear Dustiniac because his world is whats coming down, but we ALL need to do it like gentlemen. From what I can tell Doug is a damn smart man and probably is contemplative and cautious, good qualities if you want to live long and prosper. I will use his knowledge and experience to aid in my own quest against that which binds our constitutional and human rights. Just because he says it doesn't mean you have to become him, listen and use for yourself what seems to make some sense, you can still do your own thing but maybe, just maybe, something he has passed on to us will help when we need it the most.
