note: this above is a repeat post of sorts. I thought the original ghost posted but it instead went to moderation and has now appeared for this same subject in a previous post above. I thought the first one had ghost posted so changed it in title and to take out excerpts and it did post the second time, but this post is the same subject matter as the original post I thought ghost posted but has now appeared. So sorry for what is basically a double post of the same subject matter.

“Illinois congressional candidate and far-left activist Kat Abughazaleh found herself on the ground this week after interfering with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers during a lawful operation outside a federal processing center in Broadview, Illinois. The incident, captured on video and posted by Abughazaleh herself, shows the former Media Matters employee physically inserting herself in front of an ICE vehicle attempting to leave the facility. She is seen refusing to move before officers remove her by force.

Abughazaleh, who is vying for the Democratic nomination in Illinois’ deep-blue 9th congressional district, attempted to cast the encounter as a violation of her rights. But online observers were quick to reject her narrative, pointing out that her actions appeared to violate federal law—specifically, 18 U.S. Code § 111, which prohibits forcibly resisting or obstructing federal officers. Violations can carry prison sentences of up to eight years.

Citizens openly carrying weapons is a display of their individual power. They’re power to defend themselves. And to fight against a tyrannical government.

Open carry is an act of the 1st amendment. And with this God
Given right to open carry comes responsibilities.

You have to carry with the proper holster. A holster that is lockable. And if it’s a long gun you must carry it using a sling. With the long gun slung over your shoulder or cross your back.

That is being responsible. However if you open carry incorrectly the consequences can be that your gun is taken from you.

And if you’re carrying a gun in your hand for example, you will be perceived as a threat and the police might come and shoot you.That would be the consequences of not open carrying correctly.
