culpeper, we sometimes do go 'round about the interstate commerce clause and that's lots of fun, but does any of this have anything to do with the subject of this thread?
LOL. I'm not sure how you thing I might have meant it, but you're certainly right there.
That is one theory and a popular one on gun boards, and among the legislators who write dead-end state "Firearms Freedom" laws to gin up support among their base. But that isn't the way the law works today, nor has for a very, very long time. Maybe someday it will. Keep the faith!He did not say where he was living but I will presume he is not living in the boundaries of a US National Forest so the federal law will not apply to what ever he might create for his self. That leaves only State law.

But until then, DON'T tell ANYONE that all they have to care about is their state law when it comes to firearms, or that a person can do whatever they want with their own property. We aren't trying to make people potential test case subjects, here and will not stand on theory (however laudable) when it conflicts with the way the law is enforced today.
The law as written is fact. The theory you refer to is the corruption of the law.
