Wow, this was a fantastic read, even though I am a few months late getting to the discussion. Well, the bottom line is, I think I came away with a better understanding of rights, and LAW versus mere POLICY. I got the sense - from reading this back and forth between TheQ and the "unarmed guard" - that this probably resembles a lot of run-ins with the police by OCers in Michigan (especially before the groundwork was laid by MOC that paved the way for a better understanding and acceptance of our rights and of the law). I mean, here you have probably a nice guy, the "unarmed guard" at The Henry Ford Museum, who nevertheless is willing to forsake rights and correct understanding of actual law for his assumptions and misguided zeal. He doesn't get the difference between policy and law, a glaring error. Its this kind of nonsense which has made it all the more difficult for the good guys to go about their lives, free to pursue liberty and defend their families. Thank God for our noble Founders, who acknowledged that our rights are pre-existing and come from our Creator, and who documented these rights in the Constitution (and its Bill of Rights, as ratified in 1791).
