Lots of problems with it, though. Again, "it usually is no problem" isn't a good thing to rely on. Sometimes it IS a problem, sometimes it's a BIG problem. And who is it a problem for? The guy who's trying to follow the law and goes ahead and notifies Officer "Friendly." Not so much for the murderous gang member who's not going to be following that particular law today... Who do we WISH would admit to being armed? The bad guys. Who are the only people who are actually going to admit to being armed? The folks who never would pose a danger to us anyway... And so it goes.
You could say the same about any law, I guess.
Well, that's a non-response. So...sure! Right on!
Really? I certainly would not want to have that conversation with every single person who's home I might enter!
I certainly would want to know if someone is armed before he enters my home.
You may. You may wish to know how s/he voted, whether he/she is carrying a communicable disease, whether s/he's a practicing Satanist, or any number of other things. Good luck with that. The fact that you live your life and go about meeting people all the time without all this interrogating says those aren't necessary to your (or anyone's, or society's) continued well-being.
But any person who enters your home and CHOOSES to tell you she or he is armed -- whether there is a law about it or not -- is not someone who you need to care about being armed.
The only people who would do you harm with their firearms would be those people who WON'T tell you they're armed, even if the law says they "must".
Remind me again why this is this one of those laws that the bad guys are going to follow, while planning to rob, rape, and murder you?
See above, though. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
There are no guarantees in life, or even the legal system. But yes, precedent is often legally binding. You are assuming the "he said she said" can be used to prosecute, but you have no evidence. You're speculating.
This is why we have lawyers. Perhaps you should consult one.
I'm not sure who you're directing this at. I haven't speculated about any result at all. Merely pointed out that your own "comfort" with these laws is based on your own good experiences, never having had any of them come down on YOU rightly or wrongly. Not every good guy in the country can say that.
Of course, if you're of a mind to say, "if you run afoul of law enforcement, and/or the law, you're obviously a bad guy..." then you might feel this is not your concern.
