The Constitutional Right and Obligation to Carry A Gun
Carrying A Gun Is An Absolute Right
The Dalai Lama, Nobel Peace Prize and all, said during a speech about “nonviolent resolutions to conflict” – “But if someone has a gun and is trying to kill you, it would be reasonable to shoot back with your own gun.” So said the Dalai Lama.
There are criminals among us who are both homicidal and incorrigible. Their parents took a shot at civilizing them and failed. Their school teachers took a shot at them and failed. The odds are overwhelming that government welfare programs and penal institutions took a shot at them and failed. If it ever becomes your turn to take a shot at them, don’t fail.
Carrying a Gun Has Always Been Both a Right and a Duty
There have been many societies in which not carrying a weapon was a serious and severely punishable crime. This was true in Greece, Rome, Europe, Britain and, though seldom enforced, is still true in certain places in America today. This is as it should be. A citizen who shirks his duty to contribute to the security of his community is little better than the criminal who threatens it, and is better off living in a society that places lesser demands on his capacity to accept responsibility.
GUN OWNERSHIP SAVES LIVES
- Gun ownership also saves money. Nationwide, each one percent increase in the number of people owning guns reduces crime victim costs by over $3 billion.
- Concealed handgun carry by private citizens reduces violent crimes, including rape, murder, aggravated assault and robbery, throughout the entire community and in surrounding communities.
- When a state passes a right-to-carry law, crime reduction is immediate and substantial, and crime-reduction benefits continue to grow the longer the law is in effect.
- The greater the number of concealed handgun permits issued, the greater the reduction in crime.
- Mass shootings in public places are reduced to virtually zero within four or five years after right-to-carry laws are passed – except in designated “gun- free” zones, such as schools, where self-defense is known to be prohibited.
- The largest drops in violent crime from concealed handgun carry occur in the most urban areas with the greatest populations and the highest crime rates.
- Citizens who do not carry guns benefit equally from the crime reduction which results when other citizens carry guns. The people who benefit most from this “halo” effect are women, children, the elderly and blacks.
- Of all the methods studied by economists, the carrying of concealed handguns is by far the most cost-effective method for reducing crime. Each and every concealed handgun permit issued reduces total economic losses to crime victims by $3,000 – $5,000.
- Accident and suicide rates are unaltered by the presence of concealed handguns.
- The effect of increased penalties for using a gun in the commission of a crime is small.
- The Brady Law, other mandated waiting periods, safe-storage laws and one-gun-a-month laws all increase crime, especially rape.
- Background checks, training requirements and age restrictions have no crime-reduction benefits.
An Armed Society Is A Polite Society.
Convicted felons reveal in surveys that they are more afraid of armed citizens than they are of the police. And well they should be. Armed citizens kill 2,000 to 3,000 criminals each year, three times the number killed by the police. And only two percent of civilian shootings involve an innocent person mistakenly identified as a criminal, whereas the error rate for the police is more than five times that high.
Kleck’s research shows that private citizens use firearms to protect themselves and thwart crime about 2.5 million times a year. Citizens use firearms to prevent mass killings, bank robberies, gang attacks, carjackings, rapes, kidnappings and hostage-takings. They use them to help capture prison escapees and murderers, to come to the aid of outnumbered or ambushed law enforcement officers. Yet only a handful of these 2.5 million life-saving uses of firearms are ever reported in the mainstream press.
If a lot more people carried guns, what kind of a society would we have? Certainly not the kind predicted by anti-gun fanatics. Those hysterical doomsayers have been proven absolutely wrong one hundred percent of the time. Would we have a crime-free society? Certainly not. Criminals are as natural and immune to total eradication as fruit flies. But a better-armed society would severely limit the violent damage criminals wreak before they are stopped. Criminals are naturally self-destructive. The reasons they are don’t matter. To assist them in their self-destructiveness is the polite and civilized thing to do. Thus another ageless axiom: An Armed Society Is A Polite Society.
Roman Philosopher and Senator, Cicero, Immortalized Armed Self-Defense as an “Inalienable Right” More Than 2,000 Years Before the U.S. Constitution
The great Roman philosopher and senator, Cicero, immortalized armed self-defense as an “Inalienable Right” more than 2,000 years before the U.S. Constitution did so. Cicero said:
There exists a law, not written down anywhere but inborn in our hearts; a law which comes to us not by training or custom or reading but by derivation and absorption and adoption from nature itself; a law which has come to us not from theory but from practice, not by instruction but by natural intuition. I refer to the law which lays it down that, if our lives are endangered by plots or violence or armed robbers or enemies, any and every method of protecting ourselves is morally right.
Types of Warnings Before You Draw Your Gun
Today, you're going to learn types of warnings to give to an attacker before you draw your gun!
A student wants to know if s/he is required to give a verbal warning.
- Deadly force is not intended to kill someone.
- Issuing verbal commands helps your legal defense.
- There will be an investigation.
- Recap: While not required, verbal warnings are beneficial.
𝙒𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙎𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙙𝙨 𝘾𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙩, 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙋𝙤𝙡𝙞𝙘𝙚 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙊𝙣𝙡𝙮 𝙈𝙞𝙣𝙪𝙩𝙚𝙨 𝘼𝙬𝙖𝙮! 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘁 𝘀𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀…???
Here’s something every US citizen should know about:
𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗨.𝗦. 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘁, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗢𝗟𝗜𝗖𝗘 𝗗𝗢 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗛𝗔𝗩𝗘 𝗮 𝗟𝗘𝗚𝗔𝗟 𝗗𝗨𝗧𝗬 𝘁𝗼 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗧𝗘𝗖𝗧 𝗬𝗢𝗨!
There are 𝙈𝙐𝙇𝙏𝙄𝙋𝙇𝙀 rulings where the Supreme Court has said that the government does not have a duty to protect you from harm…
…𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗡 𝗪𝗛𝗘𝗡 𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗬 𝗞𝗡𝗢𝗪 𝗔 𝗧𝗛𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗧 𝗘𝗫𝗜𝗦𝗧𝗦.
According to Darren L. Hutchinson, a professor and associate dean at the University of Florida School of Law:
“𝗡𝗲𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗻𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝘄, 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗮 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗱𝘂𝘁𝘆 𝘂𝗽𝗼𝗻 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗿 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗴𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗱𝘂𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗺 — 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗺 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗼𝗰𝗰𝘂𝗿. 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘆𝗼𝘂, 𝗿𝗲𝗳𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘃𝗶𝗼𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.”
And his claim is backed up by 𝗟𝗢𝗧𝗦 of federal court precedent:
• 𝘿𝙚𝙎𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙚𝙮 𝙫. 𝙒𝙞𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙗𝙖𝙜𝙤
• 𝙏𝙤𝙬𝙣 𝙤𝙛 𝘾𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙡𝙚 𝙍𝙤𝙘𝙠 𝙫. 𝙂𝙤𝙣𝙯𝙖𝙡𝙚𝙨
• 𝙒𝙖𝙧𝙧𝙚𝙣 𝙫. 𝘿𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙞𝙘𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝘾𝙤𝙡𝙪𝙢𝙗𝙞𝙖
Now, I’m not criticizing the police… 𝗜 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗵𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝘀 𝗕𝘂𝗲𝗻𝗮 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗸 & 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝟯𝟬 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀! I’m just giving you the legal facts, directly from a law professor as well as federal court precedent.
I know dozens of police officers including myself who have put their lives on the line for numerous citizen strangers in peril, 𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗬 𝗗𝗔𝗬!
And would willingly run toward danger just to keep you safe.
But when it comes down to it…
𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆.
And honestly, when you are being attacked, you can’t wait for someone else to come save you.
𝗕𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆!
Once again, my point is not an insult against the police. The police are in fact my brothers and sisters in blue, green, camo or khaki.
𝗠𝘆 𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹-𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀, 𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀, 𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗶𝘀𝘁, 𝗯𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝘂𝗴𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗱𝗼 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗼𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝟵𝟭𝟭 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗮𝗶𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻𝘀. 𝗜𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱𝘀. 𝗕𝘂𝘁, 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆! 𝙍𝙄𝙂𝙃𝙏?
Enlightenment philosopher John Locke made a similar conclusion in his writings in the 17th century. Les Adams’ Second Amendment Primer quotes Locke as saying: “ “[𝗣𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝘀] 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺𝘀𝗲𝗹𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗯𝘆 𝘂𝗻𝗹𝗮𝘄𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗻 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺. [𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝘆 𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗴𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗿 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝘄, 𝗳𝗼𝗿] 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝘄 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝘆 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘀.”
Locke’s point, much like my own, is that very often there’s no time to wait for the police to come to your rescue. Instead, 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆, 𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗯𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗿 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝗷𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗱.
I’ll follow up with one more thought on personal self-defense with a quote focused on Patrick Henry’s mantra about preparedness:
“𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗼𝗯𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗬 𝗠𝗔𝗡 [𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗪𝗢𝗠𝗔𝗡] 𝗕𝗘 𝗔𝗥𝗠𝗘𝗗.”

Firearms Marksmanship & Safety are Perishable Skills
Practice does not make perfect. Only perfect practice makes perfect. Vince Lombardi
Many people don't realize it, but firearm marksmanship and safety are perishable skills that must be continuously renewed and reinforced through “proper” practice and training. Every expert firearms instructor recommends regular range time or dry-fire training to both improve and maintain safe, speed & accuracy and the skills needed to ward off deadly attacks... Check back often!
