(actually he said to me "Give me a good reason why I should, and don't bring up that 'It's my constitutional right' crap!).

Well, at that point, my first reaction would be to say "You do not have the right or authority to interpret the Constitution of the Commonwealth or the US. Give me a reason I should not be allowed to have it, and don't give me any of that "You decided that I can't" crap, because it's illegal and we both know it"
But we know how
that would turn out, don't we?
I heard (can't say if it's true) that when a man in Quincy was given that BS a few years back, he called the Police Station every Friday to request an escort to the bank so he could cash his paycheck
Now, I see a couple holes in that story, but it's a good one nonetheless.
I hear so many idiots in this city blather on and on about how people who obey the law shouldn't complain about more laws and restrictions, since if they are law abiding, they have nothing to worry about. That's the mindset here- nanny state is good, they will protect, they will take care. Never mind that the police are a reactive force and cannot help until after a crime is committed...I hear this from disc jockeys now. Yep, spinning the latest Offspring single really does give a guy keen insight into the deep questions of the day
But this train of thought only pisses me off, so I'll go make some awful sandwiches for dinner
