How much $ to give up your right to carry?

How much is right to carry worth

Well it gets practical here. I have to have $501 in cash on my person in order to comply with the conditions on my CCW permit. That $501 obviously is out of circulation as far as my spending money goes, so I guess that proves it's worth at least $501 to me.

(I didn't claim this condition made any sense.)

I'm not old enough to carry, but if I did, my answer would be enough to get me a one-way plane ticket to somewhere I could carry.

There are a few things in my life that are not for sale and personal control over my day to day security is one of them.

$45.00... the price of a carton of Dunhills.

I don't have a right to carry, nor the privelige. Supposedly I'm not "old" enough.

To quote a hero,

"It ain't the years, honey. It's the mileage."

Suppose I'll just have to enjoy my right to smoke.

EASY QUESTION - SIMPLE ANSWER!

The answer is:

NO! NO! NO! NO!

and, "NO!"

No amount of money. Quit wasting my time! That is not negotiable.

You could give me an infinite amount of money - I'm not giving up my gun, and I'm not giving up my right to protect myself and my loved ones.

When I purchased my gun and obtained my PA License To Carry Firearms, I vowed that I would carry legally, responsibly, and proudly. If my life or the life of another is in imminent danger of ending at the hands of another human being, I would exercise my right - with dignity and without hesitation! That is my solemn oath to the Lord Almighty.

Those who state they would be willing to "sell out" that right, for any amount of money; in my opinion, is a disgrace to themselves, their family/loved ones, their country, and to the Second Amendment.

Sorry, but I stand my ground on this opinion!

But you already have sold your rights, and for the measly $20 the PA permit costs. If we really had rights, we wouldnt need the permit, now would we? Also keep in mind, the permit is a form of gun registration, so they have control of both the "keep and bear" parts. Since a number here scream they would never "sell" their rights, how many will surrender their permits and stop carrying when told to do so by the "state", at their whim? At this point, Vermont is the only state that actually respects its citizens by allowing them to be citizens and not subjects. Why dont we all get that respect?

Enough money to buy up ALL the bullets! )

In all seriousness, my goal is to be well stocked, in weapons, brains, and finances.

In that order.

Absolutely correct. We would not have to have a background check , be fingerprinted and pay a fee if it was truly a "right" to carry concealed. Voting - I consider a right - did not have to be fingerprinted and pay a fee to vote.

The original question did not ask "How much to give up guns and your rights to own them?" If someone wants to give me a million bucks not to carry a concealed firearm - fine, I'll just take the money and buy more guns and a few cars and a new home. I like roof over my head and cars a lot better than guns anyway. My life is not based on the fact I can carry a concealed firearm everywhere I go. I can go about my daily business just fine without carrying a gun with me everywhere. I don't feel I am less a person because I do not carry a concealed firearm with me every time I leave the house. So , if someone wants to give me a great sum of money for giving up the "right " to carry - that would be my business , and since carrying a concealed gun has very little appeal to me it would not bother me to get paid not to carry. Would be analogous to someone saying "here is a million dollars , all you have to do is quit moose hunting." Fine , I don't hunt moose to begin with. Regardless , I am not holding my breath for that payoff.

Those who state they would be willing to "sell out" that right, for any amount of money; in my opinion, is a disgrace to themselves, their family/loved ones, their country, and to the Second Amendment.

My loved ones could care less whether or not I carried a damn gun , even if I was being paid not to do it. Even my friends that own guns couldn't give a rat's behind if I carried a gun with me or not. Guns are not my life , my lifestyle is not based on guns - there are a hell of a lot more important things in life than carrying concealed guns.
