And without the "CCL," I guess he'd just have to resign himself to being helpless and not defend himself.
To hell with this damned "license" nonsense. Self defense is the absolute right of all living creatures, humans WITHOUT a "permit" included.
Please point out that part of the story to me, so I can share your outrage.
The majority of stories of armed self defense identify the defender as "licensed" one way or another - as if that were part of his/her name somehow. That seems to be the first thing they write. I only asked the question... what should the defender do if he/she doesn't have a "license?" Lay back and "enjoy" being raped, robbed or killed? A rhetorical question, obviously.
As long as "we," the people of the gun, continue to accept this "license" ******** as normal and even necessary... we will continue to lose our basic rights as human beings.
So, this particular thread just hit that nerve and I blew. Sorry if that offends you... I've been snow bound for two months, and my nerves are raw about a lot of things.
--snipped--I am a member of AARP.
"Member of AARP - gasp!
They offer me nothing that I can't get elsewhere from those who are not so anti gun/self defense.
"..it’s not unheard of for the AARP to come out with a position contrary to what’s good for the membership. Which makes their support of restrictive gun laws both unsurprising and disappointing. AARP treats “guns in the home” as a disease.
I was not criticizing you for your choices.
Thank you for your opinion on my choice of memberships. In contrast to you, I find some of their offerings to be very beneficial to my existence, so if it is all the same with you, I'll renew tonight for another 10 years. Thanks anyway for your advice on my life choices and helping with my renewal decision. Should you need any similar advice, I'll be glad to chime in with all of my ideas and suggestions on your life decisions. I always like to help to see that we all reach the same conclusions and I much prefer the "one size fits all" approach to everything. Where can I find the list of "Approved Organizations for OCDO Members"? I wouldn't want to deviate and, due to my advanced age I am not comfortable with making my own decisions.

What I said was they "They offer me nothing......"
You may "infer from that" that I have never met anyone from the people I know that are members or likely to become members so I was genuinely shocked. Do you see what I am saying?You also said, "Member of AARP-gasp!
What can I infer from that?
Until it is not! Because, we all know that crime does not occur beyond those "high crime" areas, that cops use as an excuse to violate our various civil and enumerated rights. Typical top cop mentality to call for We The people to disarm for the benefit of cops...and the state.He [Milwaukee Police Capt. Andra Williams] also said he didn't necessarily think residents in his district need to arm themselves, saying it is one of the safer areas of the city and "pretty quiet."
