Militia: The reserve militia or unorganized militia, which is presently defined by the Militia Act of 1903 to consist of every able-bodied man of at least 17 and under 45 years of age who is not a member of the National Guard or Naval Militia.(That is, anyone who would be eligible for a draft.) Former members of the armed forces up to age 65 are also considered part of the "unorganized militia" per Sec 313 Title 32 of the US Code.
So, I, as a paranoid citizen *am* a member of the militia.
Why is carrying a legal device in a public area "disturbing the peace"? Would it not be equally if not more valid to claim that the person locking out a person peaceably carrying a legal device is the one "disturbing the peace"?
90% of spree killers suicide or surrender the first time someone offers *any* form of resistance. Spree killings average 15 minutes in duration. That means that a person *on the scene* with a firearm prevents 90+% of all the deaths, even if they are *not* trained. In fact, even if their gun is not loaded. http://www.thetacticalwire.com/feature.html?featureID=3593
Mostly though, the question is, who is it exactly that you trust to decide whether or not you or I should have a gun? I suspect that you trust Obama. Would you be equally content about Bush having that power? Because there is a virtual certainty that a president that you like will be followed by one that you loathe. That's the nature of the Republic. If you wouldn't give the power to Bush, then you *cannot* give it to Obama.
