[QUOTE="henschman, post: 2689250, member: 4235"] One wonderful thing about negative liberty is that rights never conflict with one another or "stifle" one another... if your behavior infringes on someone else's negative liberty, it ceases to be a right and others are justified in defending themselves against your aggression. Short of that, people may not like what you do, but no one has any right to keep you from it. The fact is, it is possible to carry around a gun without threatening or harming anyone in any way. Many of us do it every day. I have carried one for many years... I even carried in some classrooms during my college years... and near as I can tell, I never "stifled" or infringed on anyone else's rights in so doing. In fact, I was ready to protect the lives of those around me if necessary. Don't let anyone get away with telling you that your choice to carry a gun infringes on their rights. It may infringe on their feelings, but rights are not determined by people's feelings. These antis and other associated weenies are attempting to institute some sort of emotocracy, in which everyone's rights are subject to the lowest common denominator of the most timid souls among us. If that view prevails, the rights of man will be very few indeed. [/QUOTE]
