This "reasonableness" is flat out ignored. (The rule of law crumbles when rights are disrespected).

Well, also consider, while not so much the case any longer, people in these places possess weapons not to commit crimes, but to defend themselves from those who would. Yes, they are breaking the law themselves, but do men not have a duty to disobey unjust laws?

Also, what's that saying? Better judged by 12 than carried by 6?
