Here's What Can Happen When You Stand Up for Your Rights

Jason of Fish or Man has been arrested for exercising his right to carry. His court date is Dec. 23. He needs some help with the legal fees or a 2^nd Amendment-friendly lawyer willing to work pro-bono.

Read his story.

Do it now.

UPDATE: Reader Sam comments:

Stupid question here, but doesn't he just need a copy of the state laws saying he's allowed open carry?

To which reader Markm replied:

It sounds like they are also trying to pile on bogus non-gun charges - and once he beats those, he should also sue the PD or they'll just keep on doing this shit.

Which reminded me (again) of the quotation from Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged:

There is no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is to crack down on criminals. When there aren’t enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking the law. Create a nation of lawbreakers and then you can cash in on the guilt. Now that’s the system!

I'm sure Jason will be charged with a myriad of offenses, and the prosecutor will offer him a deal to drop everything if he'll just plead to one charge.

That charge, of course, will be sufficient to strip him of his right to arms. Remember, if you've ever been convicted of any crime for which you might have received a sentence of more than one year, or if you've been convicted of any felony, you lose your right to arms.

Can't have the citizens getting uppity, now.
