Only Nixon
L. Neil Smith at The Libertarian Enterprise - Neil writes about Arizona's two new statutes, the one permitting discreet carry of a firearm without government permission, and the one requiring brown people to show their papers on demand. [tle]
I travel to Arizona as often as I can. Next time, I will finally be free (as I am not in my home state) to exercise my right, under the Second Amendment, to carry a personal weapon under my shirt or in my pocket without begging for permission of some officious piece of slime who's never read the Constitution he has falsely sworn to uphold and defend.
But prudence will also compel me to do something I've never done before: carry with me some article of state-approved identification so that when a jackbooted thug accosts me and accuses me of being out of my proper place in this increasingly feudal world, I can prove him wrong.
bets, hedging
Actually the interrogation should prove that you are in fact a u.s. "citizen". So unless you are operating a motor vehicle you don't need to "hedge your bet" by carrying your papers citizen.

bets, hedging
Yes, it's called "hedging your bets." Life's like that all around, as for example in: "hope for the best and expect the worst."
