You that's one thing I've always wondered about with the "guns for resisting tyranny" crowd: at what point do you intend to start shooting cops? Because that's the practical use for guns when fighting tyranny: to shoot the minions, and not much else (you can tie a banner to them and go demonstrating, but that's not the point...). Minions most likely to be ordinary public servants upholding the law. Ok, the tyrant's law, but still...it's a job, you know.
And when are you going to start shooting them? When they come for you? When they come for your neighbour? When they come to take away that gay couple in your street to the camps? Or are you going to be more proactive about it, and look for less overt symptoms of tyranny? When the media isn't impartial anymore? When the government lies systematically? When certain laws are passed? And in those cases: who are you going to shoot? Random cop on the street? Or are you going to assassinate a politician? Which one? Are you going to act alone, or join/form a group?...Questions, questions...
Weapons do have their place in the resistance vs. tyranny, but I really doubt the guns == freedom crowd has thoroughly thought this through.

Would I, for example, be able to get a CCP for a registered gun and be able to cross county and/or state lines while armed without having to obtain a permit from every jurisdiction?
