Now that the Supreme Court recently — and narrowly — decided that the Second Amendment means what it says, I think I might just have to get a concealed carry permit.

I honestly believe that a permit is an extension of unconstitutional infringement upon the right to bear arms.

It limits those who are economically or constrained by time (need a gun NOW for self defense) to an unbearable and incompetent anti-gun bureaucracy that can delay and dismiss one's civil rights with no accountability or means of viable recourse on the part of those harmed by it.

This is the next step in recognizing the 2nd Amendment for what it is. Destroying the ability of the liberal bureaucracy from using such methods as a means to destroy the 2nd Amendment.

WOW. (rubbing eyes in disbelief) Someone that actually “gets it.”

Yep, I live in Texas where getting a CHL is about as tough as going bowling for the evening. I refuse. I do not need a State of Texas Second Amendment License. Now that they have passed the “castle doctrine” and it includes your vehicle (wherever you go) I need The Texas Second Amendment License even less.

Folks ask me why I don’t get a CHL and I reply with a question. “ Do you take your First Amendment Permit with you to church on Sunday?”

(blank stare…)

“There is no such thing!” is their usual reply. “Right” I say.

“So why do you need a Second Amendment Permit to take a firearm with you wherever you go?” I ask.

Usually they are stumped right there.
