Yeah more people giving their rights up. We are in a not required to inform state. Don't ask don't tell. :facepalm2:


What RIGHT did he give up?

The one he paid for?

If you tell someone about it, it's no longer 'concealed', even if they don't see it...


Concealed isn't a right, it's a "privilege".

One you paid for. Why give it up without being asked by the LEO?

Oh, i get it. I share your same principal. I am just confused by Chuck saying that he gave up his rights by offering the CPL, and asked for clarification of exactly what RIGHT was given up.

Maybe it's the right to remain silent? :bigsmile: :peep:

I do as well. I also would like to hear a clarification of what was on his mind when he said that.

Maybe I shouldn't have popped in with my example. But I guess that's the nature of a forum discussion. LOL

In my own example, I have paid for a CPL. I passed the background check, and was issued the CPL.

In my mind, that is now more a right than a privilege. I have the privilege of carrying a gun, concealed. And I have the right not to tell anyone that I am carrying. (Remain silent, as Dana suggests.) Even an LEO, unless asked. (And in some situations I could see volunteering the information, without being asked. Sometime common sense beats 'rights'...) Anybody else, its simply none of their business.

The power of the state to tax with or without a vote is a non sequitur with regard to whether cops are or are not held to a higher standard than the public at large.


Perhaps a bit of clarification....

This is what I meant...a goodly amount of the people (fortunately, none on this board I know of) are willing to vote for the privilege and opportunity of either: a. Giving the state MORE and MORE money, and b. Giving up their rights willingly.

An example is this: How many times has the State slipped in another tax here, another tax there? Look to the local governments as well. How in the HECK was Seattle able to pass a "soda tax" without a vote of the PEOPLE? By vote of the City Council. Who was voted into office by the citizens who live there.

Take a look at the "bullet tax" as well.

These are the same people who are on one hand willing to accept the opening of "safe injection sites", and who wail at alleged instances of "police brutality", yet are the FIRST ones to yell for the cops if something happens.

Does that make sense?

Makes total sense. And the endless adding and increasing of taxes pisses me off as much as the next guy.

"Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm -- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves." – T.S. Eliot

"The right of self defence is the first law of nature: in most governments it has been the study of rulers to confine this right within the narrowest limits possible. Wherever standing armies are kept up, and the right of the people to keep and bear arms is, under any colour or pretext whatsoever, prohibited, liberty, if not already annihilated, is on the brink of destruction." - St. George Tucker

A careful definition of words would destroy half the agenda of the political left and scrutinizing evidence would destroy the other half. - Thomas Sowell

"To ban guns because criminals use them is to tell the innocent and law-abiding that their rights and liberties depend not on their own conduct, but on the conduct of the guilty and the lawless, and that the law will permit them to have only such rights and liberties as the lawless will allow...

For society does not control crime, ever, by forcing the law-abiding to accommodate themselves to the expected behavior of criminals. Society controls crime by forcing the criminals to accommodate themselves to the expected behavior of the law-abiding." - Jeff Snyder

Personal weapons are what raised mankind out of the mud, and the rifle is the queen of personal weapons. The possession of a good rifle, as well as the skill to use it well, truly makes a man the monarch of all he surveys. It realizes the ancient dream of the Jovian thunderbolt, and as such it is the embodiment of personal power. For this reason it exercises a curious influence over the minds of most men, and in its best examples it constitutes an object of affection unmatched by any other inanimate object.

I wear my gun on my right side right by my wallet...if I reach for my wallet it could look like I'm reaching for my gun and I'm not going to take that chance....it only takes 1 " I thought he was reaching for a gun" incident and my family is left burying me all because I don't have to tell I'm carrying so I shouldn't...........I think I will just let them know up front and not take the chance.......Remember we would ALL like to go home at the end of the day. :thumbsup2:

But that document is now dead. We have moved on and are now full of progressiveness...
