I want to know what you guys think about constitutionality vs law and what exactly could happen after Martial Law is declared.
I have only been around since 91, but from the looks of it none of you seems to have seen the country in a worse condition than now. |

Doesn't make a shit. Organization and more manpower, they can do WTF they want.

I'm pretty sure in NC the declaration of martial law takes away the right to carry weapons open or concealed according to there state laws.
Could have been changed but seems like I remember this from a hurricane or something. In KY we passed a law that says martial law doesn't suspend your constitutional rights but if you read further in the law it goes on to talk about something about federal funding having influence somehow. |

They don't have anywhere near the manpower to enforce it outside of urban areas and maybe a hot spot or two anyway.

Martial Law means that the military is telling you how it is...at gunpoint.
You have two choices. You can start shooting or you can do what you're told. |

Doing it in a densely populated area is different than securing a large rural area. If the powers that be take an interest on you as an individual, they can still do whatever and say "take it to the court". I hope that you have eleventymillion dollars to dispute them legally. Having the ability to replace the shit they snatch with serviceable weapons is a better immediate solution. |

Those in power will do as they see fit, because they have the power, and Constitutionality be damned. Refuse at your own peril. Do you really think that the Constitution will protect you from their will? The Constitution may allow you to sue them after the fact, but only if you survive.

This is Alaska's law....
AS 26.23.205. Confiscation of Firearms. (a) A person convicted of official misconduct under AS 11.56.850, or interference with constitutional rights under AS 11.76.110, as a result of confiscating, attempting to confiscate, or ordering the confiscation of a firearm, under color of law, during a disaster emergency, (1) forfeits any appointed government position and, if under the jurisdiction of the Alaska Police Standards Council, is subject to revocation of the person's police certification; (2) is subject to impeachment under art. II, sec. 20, Constitution of the State of Alaska; or (3) is subject to having the person's elected municipal office declared vacant under AS 29.20.170 or 29.20.280.

(c) A conviction described in (a) of this section is an offense involving a violation of the oath of office for purposes of AS 29.20.170 or 29.20.280. |

FPNI as usual.
However I will note, "right to disarm" vs "successful execution" is quite a stretch where I come from. PS ---> Seems there's a lot in my prior sentence... |

Martial Law is do what the soldiers tell you before they fucking shoot your ass. |

To be armed is a God-given right, not a man-given right, so yes you always have the right. When someone denies you that right, they are in the wrong.

Military? No. Locals? Good luck with that. Before they get to that step they will be busy trying to stave off the masses. Ain't gonna happen. |

"Shall not be infringed" is plain & unambiguous language.

It will always come down to your county sheriff and what extent he is willing to go to defend your liberty. He can deputize the whole damn county if he wants, ain't no body gonna mess with dat. Or, he can give them your address and what time you will be home from work. Know your county Sheriff and be sure his heart is in right place....... |

View Quote Well, In my recent experience, it was the State Police that were running rampant. I'm sure if they saw someone with a gun they'd disarm him and arrest him for any number of vague charges. They had enough guys in the field that as soon as someone reported a disturbance, a swarm of cops would arrive, eager to get a little stick/taser time. See my above photo. When the Governor declared a mandatory evacuation area, around 40 square miles, the Guard guys went to each property and reported anyone they saw. The State police arrived to immediately escort ranchers off their properties. Are you gonna tell a Trooper, wearing body armor and carrying an AR, pistol, radio, etc., and who just reported your presence to dispatch, that you aren't leaving just yet? Cause if you do, he is gonna remove you by force. And if you're wearing a pistol, chances of getting shot are excellent. In today's society, I don't think most cops have any real fear of being prosecuted for any crime they commit except in very rare instances. |

Martial Law does not give "rights" to government.
Thousands of well armed military and police, on the other hand, can effectively suspend the rights of the population in a small area. |

There are lots of state laws that prohibit confiscation of arms during states of emergency/disasters. However, the essence of martial law is the closure of the courts and suspension of Habeas Corpus. Therefore under ML the authorities can seize anything including your person and you have no place to seek redress except in whatever drumhead proceeding the authorities establish - if any. Your choices are to submit or to resist by evasion or force of arms.
