Exactly.Guess the Sons of Liberty were criminals.

Seems to me if you are enforcing an unconstitutional law you are...... Well nevermind.
If the law is not constitutional you are not actually committing a crime no matter what they tell you in the police academy.
The law of the land remains COTUS for the time being.
Is the 2A a God given/natural right or is it not?
Can one of our lawyer members answer this:
Say you are carrying illegally, and have to shoot in self defense. For the sake of argument say the self defense was a clean shot. Would only the illegal weapon charge stick or could you also get convicted of homicide?
Not to make fun of you but I'd like to know your thought process here?
Sure if your going to commit a robbery and your partner kills the cashier you are just a guilty but in your quick scenario I envision you ONLY defending your life. This actually happens quite frequently and the defending guy is usually a felon. He gets cleared of any murder related charges, grand jury rules it self defense, but he eats 3 years for the felon in possession charges.
I've seen that happen multiple times in DC and I for see it happening on the last murder I went to a few days ago.
We really need to look at how other countries deal with crime. If crime gets anymore worse in Baltimore City and a law abiding citizen cannot get a unrestricted Maryland hand gun permit, you well soon see some people carry their legal firearm illegally. If firearms are being confiscated from criminals off the street and stored under lock and key then how are these firearms making there way back on the street. Some where in this process their is a major break down that is costing a lot of citizens their lives.
Exactly.

What I was trying to say was if someone who has no other record CCWs and then is forced to defend his life would he get stuck with a murder conviction?
CCW doesn't grant you the privilege of self-defense for one but....
I'm not sure what it is legally called but in self-defense cases certain aspects of the law wouldn't apply. Like of the top of my head if an officer was incapacitate and you used their firearm to defend him/her and others they wouldn't charge you with stealing a firearm or illegal possession. But hey this is 'Murica so who knows.
