So, do you practice what you're preaching? Do you carry in the open all the time? Or are you encouraging others to fly the flag, so you can offer armchair support?

I prefer concealed carry, because it doesn't bother people who fear guns. It doesn't matter whether that fear is rational or not. I believe I have a first-amendment right to use profanity, but I choose not to do so in public places or in mixed company. Courtesy is not surender. Standing up for your rights does not require that you be in-your-face obnoxious about it.

Don't like a law? Step one is to speak against it. Step two is to campaign against it in the legislature. Step three is to challenge it in court. Only when those have failed is step 4, civil disobedience, justified. And when you make that leap, know that, if you're lucky, you'll likely be harassed and hassled behind it. If you're not lucky, you'll be arrested, tried and imprisoned.
