That's all well and good, except the ACLU is not our friend when it comes to the 2nd Amendment. The quote below is from their website, and I have never heard of them defending any gun owner. IMHO, the ACLU is not a defender of the constitution, but just another liberal organization.

ACLU POSITION
Given the reference to "a well regulated Militia" and "the security of a free State," the ACLU has long taken the position that the Second Amendment protects a collective right rather than an individual right. For seven decades, the Supreme Court's 1939 decision in United States v. Miller was widely understood to have endorsed that view. This position is currently under review and is being updated by the ACLU National Board in light of the U.S. Supreme Court decision in D.C. v. Heller in 2008.

In striking down Washington D.C.'s handgun ban by a 5-4 vote, the Supreme Court's decision in D.C. v. Heller held for the first time that the Second Amendment protects an individual's right to keep and bear arms, whether or not associated with a state militia. The ACLU disagrees with the Supreme Court's conclusion about the nature of the right protected by the Second Amendment. However, particular federal or state laws on licensing, registration, prohibition, or other regulation of the manufacture, shipment, sale, purchase or possession of guns may raise civil liberties questions.

Looks like I'm sitting upwards of 300 miles outside the so-called "Constitution-free zone". Why do I find so little comfort in that? Because as the Obamunists see it, that zone is wherever they say it is whenever they say it.

Gun-crazy? Me? I'd say the gun-crazy ones are the ones that don’t HAVE one.

Just wait until inland waterways and ports also require a 100 miles buffer.
