I am permitted to carry openly. And I do, when I feel like
it.

Just going through this thread, Lee, I think we share a lot
of common ground.

For instance, I think we're in agreement that:

What we need is a militia like the Swiss with compulsory
service for all able-bodied men & women ages 20 to 30. No
exemptions for rich kids.

Rep. Charles Rangle also shares that view.

It really doesn't matter to me WHO shares my views. People can share
one view for many, many reasons.


...and...

I think what George Mason and John Adams said about the
militia makes sense, unless every able-bodied person
participates it places a burden on those who volunteer, and
a likelihood they'll be misused by unsympathetic
chickenhawk rich politicians and big business goons.

Careful; you're treading on NRA toes if you're with me on the
above.

I'm not a member of the NRA so I'm not too concerned about what their
opinion might be here.


...and...

And we should probably do away with dual enlistment. The
National Guard shouldn't be used as full-time military for
more than a few months, it's just wrong for the citizen
soldiers who joined the Guard expecting they'd be mainly a
state militia and only a federal reserve force in dire
emergencies.

Like you, I like to be able to buy a gun that I want. I'll
even go so far as to say I've changed my mind about instant
background checks to purchase firearms, too-- I think
they're a good idea-- although I think it could be done a
bit differently than it is now.

Agreed; we should get background checks on all gun
transactions including sales, gifts and loaners, whether the
transaction is FFL or personal.
