[QUOTE="perfor8, post: 3291835, member: 10088"] "The law" isn't the arbiter of morality, reasonableness, right/wrong, good/evil or anything else. The law is often a hindrance to these. You're not the only one to have carried for blood and money in dark places, but nice logical "appeal to authority". You mean to tell me he had the ballsack-size to carry an actual weapon in the vicinity of a homo sapiens who happened to be in the act of ingesting ethanol? It's boot licking to acquiesce to ridiculous laws, or to ridicule those free men who refuse to acquiesce. I'm speaking philosophically about the law, not to any particular act by this fella. I wasn't there so I have no idea what the gentleman in question did or did not do with his slung weapon. I do not stipulate that he broke any law. It seems clear he didn't shoot anyone. The state needs (in fact, could not survive without) men like you who feel, "well gee, it's the law so I'm gonna follow it". How else, other than law requiring it, would all of those escaped slaves have been returned to their lawful masters? Being the law, it MUST have been the moral thing to do. It would be immoral to follow "all of it". [/QUOTE]
