#self defense

""ARE WE AT LAST BROUGHT TO SUCH A HUMILIATING AND DEBASING DEGRADATION, THAT WE CANNOT BE TRUSTED WITH ARMS FOR OUR OWN DEFENSE? WHERE IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HAVING OUR ARMS IN OUR POSSESSION AND UNDER OUR OWN DIRECTION, AND HAVING THEM UNDER THE MANAGEMENT OF CONGRESS? IF OUR DEFENSE BE THE REAL OBJECT OF HAVING THOSE ARMS, IN WHOSE HANDS CAN THEY BE TRUSTED WITH MORE PROPRIETY, OR EQUAL SAFETY TO US, AS IN OUR OWN HANDS?""

Quote by Patrick Henry on individual possession vs federal control

""THE RIGHT OF SELF-DEFENSE NEVER CEASES. IT IS AMONG THE MOST SACRED, AND ALIKE NECESSARY TO NATIONS AND TO INDIVIDUALS.""

Quote by James Monroe on natural right of self-defense

""A man may repel force by force in defense of his person, against any one who manifestly intends or endeavors by violence or surprise feloniously to kill him. And he is not obliged to retreat, but he may pursue his adversary until he has secured himself from all danger; and if he kill him in so doing, it is justifiable self defense.""

Quote by Chief Justice Parsons on self defense law

""The right of self defense rests upon a law of necessity. It is the natural and inalienable right of every human being, and it is to be held sacred and inviolable by any law of human or civil institution. It does not depend upon any law of society. It is derived from a higher source; is coeval with man's natural being; and hence it is with truth and reason said that self-preservation is the first law of nature.""

Building an A.R.K.

Probably the most well known TEOTWAWKI of all time is the story of Noah’s Ark. A devastating flood wiping out everything and everyone you know, and relocating you to some foreign land, is definitely the end of the world as you know it. When thinking about this story, we usually think about the 40 days and nights on the ark, and how Noah and his family had to survive that. But in reality that was not the real survival situation. The real survival situation started when the waters receded and Mr. and Mrs. Noah had to start over. Building, planting, raising animals – all had to be handled from square one.<!--more-->
