FYI Everyone: Excellent article, valuable information. I only posted the beginning because it says not to reproduce without permission. However, if you google the article title it's the first thing that pops up and is freely available to read in its entirety.

Hopefully it hasn't already been discussed in PAFOA, it did not come up in a search.

The Constitutional Right and Social Obligation to Carry a Gun
Robert H. Boatman

Carrying A Gun Is An Absolute Right

The framers of the Constitution were under no pressure from the NRA when they wrote "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."

The Constitutional Right and Social Obligation to Carry a Gun

The Constitution of the state of Pennsylvania (adopted September 28, 1776) allocated more words to make the point even more unmistakable: "XIII. That the people have a right to bear arms for the defense of themselves and the state; and as standing armies in the time of peace are dangerous to liberty, they ought not to be kept up; and that the military should be kept under strict subordination to, and governed by, the civil power."

How true is that !!!!

The Second Amendment, like most other articles in the Bill of Rights, was adopted from the English Bill of Rights of 1689 which, in turn, was based on centuries of English Common Law. English jurist Sir William Blackstone observed that the English Bill of Rights clearly meant that Englishmen possessed "the right of having and using arms for self-preservation and defense" and that "having arms suitable for their defense" was one of the five auxiliary rights people possessed "to protect and maintain inviolate the three great and primary rights," the first of which is "personal security."

Unfortunately for the English people, they have been persuaded by their own far-left government and insidious anti-gun activists to allow the English Bill of Rights to be, as they might say, shat upon. Today, the English do not have the right to keep and bear arms for self-preservation and defense. As a direct result, they live in a crime-ridden society that grows worse with each passing day.

derrr ummm....anyone else feel like we are in this phase. ffs!

To bow down to overt or covert pressure, to refrain from carry, or allowing and encouraging infringements of rights in essence obstructs freedom and liberty.
My opinion!

And the Dalai Lama says:
"But if someone has a gun and is trying to kill you, it would be reasonable to shoot back with your own gun."
