You would be arrested, we both know that, even with a concealed carry permit in your pocket.
The point here is not whether any practical effect of the law has been felt yet in any given state. The law is an ass, as the old saying goes, and these things take time to catch up.
The fact that any...
The only thing that you and your ilk are doing in this thread is obfuscating what the law states on these matters as prescribed by jurisprudence going back to the founding of this nation.
Peruta vs California is very likely to be denied Cert. by the Supreme Court, because States have both the...
I can probably count on two hands the number of politicians in my life time that I've ever had a bit of respect for. Most of them are slimy lawyers who have as their only impetus to "serve" us is their never-ending drive to fund raise off the back of tax payers, promising them the world, while...
There are high crime areas, where the government refuses to police the crime, clean up the streets, and protect its citizens where it is mandated by law to do so, and further where open carry is outlawed because those areas are high crime neighborhoods in the first place.
Therefore, open carry...
Maybe because casinos are private businesses that launder money for organized crime? Maybe because Nevada is an almost wholly owned-subsidiary of the Feds, where 85% of the land the federal government controls in that state? Maybe because the rest of the state is almost completely controlled in...
I certainly agree with you on this to a large extent, but its not the whole story either.
We are well aware of what can happen to protesters openly sporting weapons: harassment, arrest, charges, jail, long court trials, lots of money to lawyers, and potentially prison or even getting shot are...
I read and responded to exactly what you wrote: the assertion that States would do away with concealed carry permits for anyone besides cops. That is precisely what Heller said States cannot do with regards to concealed carry.
The soccer moms in NJ and NY were not boycotting Target either...
The Second Amendment, as all of our Constitutional rights, are in fact limited, and they always have been.
We free to exercise our religion, but not to harm others or force them to follow it.
We are typically free to speak, but not in a court of law during a criminal or civil case, unless its...
I don't worship any man, but I can and do respect some of them who are worthy of it.
You might do the same to those who aren't your enemies, though I'm sure you'll continue on with your bitter, sarcastic insults to anyone and everyone who refuses to slurp up the line of BS you constantly...
Fear mongering nonsense.
Do you have any idea how apparent it is to even a layman like myself that you either haven't read the decisions you're talking about, or have either misconstrued them accidentally, or worse, purposely?
The entire point of Heller granted the plaintiff the opportunity to...
Yep, its terribly complex. Open carry is the Right guaranteed by the Second Amendment. Concealed carry is not.
Hard to understand! So hard, that I could explain it to my grade-school age son and he got it!
Of course, its not really, should one take the time to read Heller and the cases and...
Nothing like besmirching the reputation and legacy of a good and decent man after he's dead.
How exactly is it his fault that one of the squishes went soft and refused to take up any other gun cases after McDonald incorporated the 2A under Heller to the States?
I am very confident that it was...
I'll tackle this one as well while I have some time.
Lets clear up another misconception about "carry outside of the home" with regards to the "Heller" decision.
How in God's green creation did anyone come up with that idea?
If Heller affirmed that "open carry... is the Right protected," it...
My apologies, but this is, quite frankly, a muddled mess with regards to "Heller vs. California." You would need to clarify your terms far better before I could respond to this part.
This is probably the worst, corrupt "interpretation" of Heller floating around out there with regards to the 2A...
If Heller is upheld, which states in very clear and precise language that open carry is the Right protected by the Second Amendment, and that there is no Right to concealed carry in the "original" or "textual" meaning of the Second Amendment, Peruta will likely go down in flames.
Furthermore...

I've already acknowledged your point before you even made it, when I stated upthread that our so-called "representatives" do not actually serve our interests, and that they do not follow our laws or actually practice our system of government. Hence, my point about our Republic being nothing more...
I could address this point that you're making, but I wont do so until you correct the record. You are trying to make it seem that I stated something that I didn't: that we can attack any nation we want merely because that nation was a dictatorship, and do so in violation of the law...
You might have a point, if I was actually saying what you are implying here.
I wasn't, and therefore, your point is moot.
It is not my fault if you refuse to address the point that I was actually making, or failed to understand it.
Here's another interesting question for us.
If we are all about "national security interests" around the world, why have our bombs never fallen on Saudi Arabia, a supposed ally, or Iran?
Both are major players in exporting terrorism around the world, and many thousands of Americans have died...
I won't address your other points, but this one I think misses wide of the mark, at least in a philosophical sense.
The decision to go to war is, and always has been, a moral choice, just as all choices that are made are moral, one way or another.
The only question when it comes to a moral...
As posted on my site: War in Syria?
War in Syria?
There are a lot of factors here.
Trump has stated that this was a "vital national security interest" and that "no child of God should ever suffer such horror" for justification. Go on over to Breitbart for those quotes for verification.

So, we're mad at the government that our property taxes are too high, because people are having children on the tax payer's dime, and the solutions are to... throw unlimited money at a baby butcher mill, mandate abortion for undesirables, and mandate sterilization if the undesirables have more...
Maybe you ought to move to Norway and Sweden and get your "free" healthcare, since socialized medicine is so great.
Prior to the passage of Obamacare, there were already socialized medicine policies in place for the segments of the population that couldn't afford some or all of their...
Not a single Republican in the House or Senate voted for Obamacare when it passed, claiming it was not only bad for the health care "industry," but unconstitutional because it was forced association (First Amendment). They spent 8 years hammering these and many other points home.

No, one could not make this case at all. This retarded, leftist logic was thoroughly repudiated by Scalia writing for the majority in Heller, which is the controlling decision with regards to the Second Amendment unless and until it is overturned.
Scalia deftly threaded the needle on this very...
Executive orders are not unconstitutional if they are taken under existing Constitutional authority, principle, enumerated powers, and so on, as well as statutory authority granted under the US Code by Congress.
