The only thing I would suggest you reconsider is “I will never allow any law enforcement to take my firearms for any reason. For I know I am not a dangerous felon.”

You may know you are a good guy, but a cop probably does not. There are times it is reasonable to relinquish your firearm temporarily to a law enforcement officer who is acting in good faith. No, I am not talking about a Katrina type situation. I’m talking about a much more likely issue.

For example, police respond to a criminal complaint (let’s say a robbery) in which a person who generally matches your description is seen fleeing from the scene in a car like yours in the direction you are heading. It is perfectly lawful for a police officer to stop and detain you for a brief period of time to determine if you are the suspect that just committed the crime. During that detention, it is lawful for the officers to disarm you, and your failure to do so presents a situation in which a reasonable person would be forced to conclude you were a threat to the officers. Things do not go well for you there.

I understand the sentiment, but I hope you have some flexibility in your thinking to allow for situations that may come up.

Thanks again for stopping by.

Also, never give your guns up! I will never allow any law enforcement to take my firearms for any reason. For I know I am not a dangerous felon. Law enforcement officers took the guns of those in New Orleans after the flood. These people were left with no way to protect their property. The only people who had guns were the gangs and criminals. They had free run to loot New Orleans. They would loot properties even when owners were present.

Protect our rights! Also, write your congressmen every month, even if it is to tell them they are doing a good job. That way they know you are watchiung them. Also, write other congressmen, big business does. Whay can’t we? But the best abd easiest way is to call them. Calls get respect. If the congressman’s office is so busy answering the phone that they can do nothinh else, the people get noticed.

It is through ignorance and not being involved that people lose their freedoms and rights. I feel these rights are mine, given by God. I will never allow any govenment to take them, no matter what laws they create. When guns become outlawed, I become an outlaw!
