The more I read about the inevitable passage of these "Red Flag Gun Confiscation Laws", the higher my blood pressure gets...and I can't afford it to be much higher. I always come back to what I personally am going to do when they knock on my door. Does all that "Come and take it", "From my cold dead hands", and "Molon Labe" bravado go out the door when they have a signed warrant in their hands? I read an editorial on TheTruthAboutGuns recently that broached this exact question. The author basically stated that you should do exactly as instructed so that no one gets arrested or hurt. It sort of turned my stomach. I don't feel I am some sort of bad ass. Quite the contrary. I like to go along to get along. I actually hate confrontation. But where does it end? What line has to be crossed? I highly respect law enforcement officers. I am friends with some and have yet to meet any that I couldn't get along with. My outside nightlights are blue, in support of law enforcement. Do I want to shoot at them? Holy hell. Absolutely not. No matter what the outcome after that, I would never get over it. Do I want to die or be gravely injured by law enforcement, not at all. If law enforcement showed up with a warrant to arrest me, I would go along with any and all of their instructions. If I am accused of being such a bad guy, that is what is supposed to happen. I'm supposed to go to jail. But this is The Constitution we are talking about. Am I willing to die defending it or not?
Do I know what I'll do when and if it were to actually happen? No. Heck, I might just curl up into the fetal position and start crying like a little girl. I can't predict what I'll do until I do it. But I sure have been thinking a lot (too much?) about it, lately. Take care. Tom Worthington
