The Dan Lee Report

I was born in Worcester Massachusetts, but now reside near Nashville Tennessee. I paid $100 for a STATE APPROVED gun safety course required for a handgun carry permit in the state of Tennessee, & then an additional $115 to the State of Tennessee’s Dept. of Safety, as well as being fingerprinted (every digit) & having my handgun model recorded by officials.

Yet somehow If I want to return to my home state of 36 years, where I was born, I will now have to disarm & leave my personal defense weapon at home. Yes that’s right. I can drive a 2 ton weapon into the state of Massachusetts on my Tennessee drivers license, while across this country’s automobiles are the number one thing that kills & often dismember our nations teenagers, yet I will be stopped at the border &/or probably arrested if I bring my firearm into Massachusetts, even though I have paid my due. Of course I do have the unreasonable option of paying to fly into Massachusetts, paying for taking a second redundant hand course safety course approved by THAT State to the tune of another $100 & a couple of days of my time, & then paying Massachusetts for a hand gun carry permit.

Since I’ve already paid here in Tennessee, that would of course constitute Governmental “double dipping”. Also, while I am in the process, I will be there with no self defense weapon, & fully vulnerable to armed thugs in Massachusetts who unlike me, HAVE been arrested before. Or wait! Do I really have that option? Or do I have to be a resident? So far I haven’t been able to get a straight answer anywhere. This description on eHow.com seems to point to a very “over complicated” process that is designed to discourage my right to bear arms. In part is reads: “You will be required to justify your request in writing. Make your request as detailed and specific as possible. Valid reasons for requesting a concealed handgun include personal threats, being in a high-risk profession or routinely carrying large amounts of cash.”

Oh really? Not according to the recent Supreme Court Ruling in Heller Vs. The District of Columbia since the core holding in D.C. v. Heller is that the Second Amendment is an individual right intimately tied to the natural right of self-defense. Do not criminals shoot people in the streets? Do I not have a right to protect myself in Massachusetts under the Supreme Court Ruling? Or will we have no consistency in our country with regards to citizens rights under the Constitution?

As it stands I can’t go home while maintaining my 2nd amendment right to protect myself, under any circumstances. Yes, that is right. I cannot return to the place of my birth unless I give up my some of my constitutional rights. So what I need is a lawyer who is willing to help me to either mediate a reciprocity agreement with the state of Massachusetts, or to sue for one, to protect my second amendment rights. I am a citizen of the United States, & as far as I know, I should enjoy the same rights under the US Constitution in Massachusetts, as I do in Tennessee. This is not currently the case however.

The framers of our constitution believed that Americans possessed a natural right of self defense, which no government could abrogate. Now mine & others rights are being abrogated, in that we may not return to my own home state unless we give up our right to self defense with an implement that has clearly been deemed reasonable by the highest court of the United States of America, a hand gun.

I am anxious to hear from any natives of Massachusetts who have moved away, & face the same problem as I do. For the purposes of this article, I will call you “those of duel citizenship” since Massachusetts now treats us as if we are entering the state as foreigners. Please contact me if you are interested in supporting my effort to have my legally obtained hand gun permit duly recognized starting in my home state, as well as eventually extending to anywhere else that my constitutional rights are protected. As far as I know, that should be any U.S territory.

*Update* 7/29/08 Passing This Legislation would make all of our lives much easier, save tax payer money for legal costs to the states, & protect our Constitutional Rights.

U.S. troops serving in Iraq may be getting more letters during mail call, but they won’t be care packages — one group is sending them letters and DVDs claiming 9/11 was an “inside job” and that they should rethink why they’re fighting.

Mark Dice, founder of The Resistance, which he calls a media watchdog group, says that the U.S. government was responsible for the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and that the armed forces should know it.

You know, people like this really do make me wish that Darwin was right sometimes.. When you’re THIS stupid & ignorant, natural selection starts to sound good to those around you.. But for the grace of God, I would wish for this man’s tongue to fall out, & for his fingers to fall off.

Be sure to send this fruitcake some Love..
