The feeling in the US by many that you have the right to be armed all the time and that is a right stated in the 2nd amendment is crazy. People today now say the 2nd amendment was put in the constitution to protect them from the government. They are crazy enough to actually say the 2nd gives them the right to use those arms against the government. I think that is called treason.
Free, I missed the part where someone asked you to carry anything. Does your support for civil rights really depend on your own personal use of that right?

The talk about treason is a red herring. The Supreme Court decided the Second Amendment protects a right of self defense. The Seventh Circuit decided that right extends outside the home. People have the right, but not the obligation, to use a weapon to defend themselves.
