Gun Control & RKBA

Thank you for your kind responses.

You state that you are not wrong about the law. I would say rather that you disagree strongly with the law, and perhaps see your actions as some type of protest. You do have the right to protest that to which you do not agree, and to do so as often as you see fit. However, I would presume that your act of calling the police would use the 911 system, stating that you see a gun. This type action would be abuse of the 911 system, which is for emergencies.

Have you never had off-duty police personnel in any of your classes? They are trained and licensed in the use of firearms, and many are even required by their local governments to carry off-duty. I would hazard a guess, based upon my exposure to police personnel getting degrees or post-grad degrees trying to improve themselves, that you have had at least a couple over the years. And BTW, CCW holders are also trained and licensed to carry firearms. Also, in general, they are much better trained in firing their weapons, as many fire weekly or monthly to maintain very frangible skills.

As far as exposing yourself and your students to danger, the students are at a minimum 21 years of age or older. As a group they are very law obiding, as they have gone through multiple requirements to be licensed for CCW.

As far as the Black/Latino issue, I was comparing the acts regarding Federal and State Constitutional protections against persecution due to race, religion, sex, etc., many of which have been confirmed by US Supreme Court as well State judicial rulings, to the ability to keep and bear arms in public, also protected by US Supreme Court and State judicial rulings.



Duckhunter, thank you as well for warning. I have been alerted upon before; however, I don't think I have been hidden to date. I could be wrong, as I sometimes am away from the board for a week or so at a time.
