Doing anything unprepared by previous practice is NOT caring about your freedom.

Doing what you must, despite the law, is a calculated risk taken with full knowledge of the consequences.

And because I know of the consequence, I care enough about my freedom to practice to avoid detection.

That is the difference.

I'm not carrying yet and have no desire too, but recognize the possibility of future need, thus I don't want to be caught unprepared having to play catch up.

Oleg used the term "occupied territory" which is very much like what it feels like to carry a gun knowing that during any random checkpoint or encounter with the "occupying force" that you may be discovered as being "one of them" and locked away in a cage for years and branded as a criminal for exercising your right to keep and bear arms.

I don't remember the Founders ever using the term "good enough" in the Constitution or Bill of Rights. "Good enough" is a slacker motto, not something concerned Americans should be saying.
