"Among the many misdeeds of the British rule in India, history will look upon the act of depriving a whole nation of arms, as the blackest." -Mahatma Gandhi
He's much smarter than the Sheeple think he was.
He advocated nonviolent resistance as a *supior weapon* compared with violent resistance!
He did not say "do this, be all meek and get stopmed to death", he said "Here, this can work *better* to help you achive your goals! (and of course, the goal of all truely civilised people is peace. How many soldiers have you met who like war?)
How much trouble would you get in for stoping an IMMINENT THREAT TO YOUR LIFE by carrying withought a permit? WHO CARES, you'll be alive! Ask the jurors if they wish you dead. Because that is what you would be withought a gun. Ask them if they'd be willing to shoot you in the face themselves? Because that'd what they'd be doing.
But watch your butt, and try to do it legally first. If you get caught, you could have your guns taken away entirely.
