The right to carry a concealed weapon began with the right to carry our own personal burdens. This guy gets it. Author and Columnist John Longenecker [GoodForTheCountry.com] shows how anti-crime programs have become as predatory as crime has, surpassing the Nanny State now moving into a mandated dependency on more public/private partnerships. "When it comes to our neighborhoods and our children," says Publisher Contrast Media Press, "..there are simply some realities we need to understand if we want to live on safe streets." One of those realities is that the Citizen is Supreme Authority under our system, and not officials. Forty-eight states agree, but some of their major cities refuse. Why? It's after D.C. v. Heller. The Supreme Court has declared the District's gun ban unconstitutional June, 2008, but the District continues to defy the Supreme Court. September, 2008, Congress has stepped in to make the Second Amendment include the District Of Columbia. When forty-eight states affirm the right to carry, what are the major cities missing here? John Longenecker's assertion that the right to carry our own burdens begins with the first burden of personal safety for self and loved ones makes for a refreshing new take on safe streets in America. A must-read for every head of household. With Internet Search Terms throughout, an analysis of the Virginia Tech Review Panel, and remarks on the D.C. v. Heller Supreme Court Gun Ban Case. Available in both Hardcover and Paperback. 260 pages.
