Larry's words, "The Second Amendment gives me the right to protect my wife and my family," hit the target, and my what-it-means-to-be-an-American-citizen paradigm shifted.
Up until that moment, I had had a school-child's relationship with the Constitution of the United States; it was a document I had learned about in class and taken for granted.
Living overseas had given me an in-your-face education in citizenship rights and realities elsewhere. What can the Rule of Law mean in those countries?
What does the Rule of Law mean in my own country? Among others, that there may be no infringement of my right to keep and bear arms.
Yes.
Let's move on to the First Amendment, which forbids the infringement of my right to freedom of speech and expression. Even when in Boulder?
Right.
