Exercising my rights in Georgia (photos)

Pictured above are the firearms my roommates and I took down to Georgia with us this Friday for our weekend trip to visit a libertarian friend and enjoy Saint Patrick's Day out in nature on his country ranch. Our hosts had a lot more guns waiting for us and I had a blast getting to shoot them all!

As strongly as I support the Second Amendment here at this website, it's been too long since I've gotten close and personal with guns so the opportunity to shoot several, help clean them, and learn a little more about them and how to use them safely (and effectively) was a real treat and a chance to get a little bit closer to being that ideal, responsible, vigilant citizen that every libertarian aspires to be.

Hopefully I'll have one of the guys I met down here on the radio show sometime soon to share his quite extensive knowledge of guns with all of you. I'm also thinking of ways to get more awesome content here on the website related to guns and gun issues. I've had such a blast, I'm actually still down here in Georgia working from my laptop at my friend's office and off of his home wireless. Instead of driving back up yesterday with my roommates, I just wanted to spend a few more days among good friends and libertarians. Anyway, here are just two guns I had the most fun shooting:

The AK-47:



And here's some video of the AK:



20-gauge semi automatic shotgun:


Skeet shooting with this was a lot of fun:

My 2011 Trip

Hey Patriots! Hope your New Year is off to a good start! I am multitasking my head off to prepare for a trip around the country of indefinite length and scope starting next week. I'll be headed for Colorado first where I'll investigate medical cannabis laws and their effects; then I'll be flying out to Washington DC for the month of February to attend CPAC and ISFLC; and after that I'll move north to New Hampshire to spend March hanging with members of the Free State Project and learning more about it. I'm not positive what's next after that, but I've got a general inkling, and it might involve venturing overseas to learn a little more about the broader world around us and relay everything I see to you readers here at The Humble Libertarian ! Wish me luck and keep your eye out for updates as I travel. Peace, Wes Wes Messamore , Editor in Chief, T H L Articles | Author's Page

Occupy Mordor or Destroy the Ring?

There has been mixed responses to Occupy Wall Street by libertarians. Some see the movement as a positive, while others see them as little more than lazy hipsters. But libertarians must be sensitive to why people feel the way they do about issues. The occupiers point out a legitimate concern that "the 1%" control vastly more power and wealth than "the 99%", and corporations have accumulated more power and privilege than is healthy for an open society. Some other concerns and demands are absurd, but the heart of the matter is on track. The question is why has this happened? While many on the left are quick to blame a nebulous thing called "greed", or lack of regulation, the matter is more complicated than that. This calls for a Lord of the Rings metaphor. Let's say that Sauron, the big cheese bad guy of Lord of the Rings, is the corporate hegemony. The 1%. Most people in Middle Earth agree that this is a problem, but there are a few differ...
