I absolutely believe that when one obtains any sort of permit for a God-given Constitutional right--now matter how attractive or easy it may be--one is admitting freely that the statists have the right to approve or deny such rights, despite what one may say to the contrary.

Don't get me wrong, I certainly understand why many desire to obtain CCWs, especially with the price of noncompliance with dictates being so high. We all have choices, no matter what some pompous statists in Washington or Sacramento or wherever may say. But in the end, there's no getting around the fact that actions speak louder than words.

The same goes for registration.
