Re: A Well Regulated militia

Which was forcibly put down by the militia that congress called up.  How
about John Brown, again put down.
My point is the militia is to protect the government, not overthrow it.  I
know my history.

Also, about your denial of a permit to carry a conceiled weapon.  From the
sounds of it, it was not so much that you are a resident alien, but that you
could not show a compelling reason to carry one.  However, if you feel that
your rights were abridged, you have legal recourse through the federal
courts.
