“Ed was just minding his own business. According to an article in the News & Advance of Lynchburg, Virginia, Ed wasn’t harming anyone, or threatening to harm anyone, or defrauding anyone. But that didn’t stop the state of Virginia from charging Ed with misdemeanors and felonies and booking him into the crowbar motel sans bail. What Ed is guilty of is failure to abide by some rules that the rules-makers made. Ed carried a gun into a school — a felony in today’s gun-freaked USSA but merely a rules violation in a free society where government is forbidden to involve itself in education (i.e., indoctrination) and therefore every school is private and perfectly capable of writing its own rules, pro or con, concerning pistol-packing.” (02/06/08)
