Under the cover of constant bombing from American artillery, Brigadier General John Thomas slips 2,000 troops, cannons and artillery into position at Dorchester Heights, just south of Boston, on this day in 1776. Under orders from General George Washington, Thomas and his troops worked through the night digging trenches, positioning cannons and completing their occupation of Dorchester Heights.

I have a small problem with the language of the new CCW poll.
I would carry a concealed firearm in violation of the law.
I carry, routinely, in California.
I consider my carrying to be in concert with the law, and any words on paper alleging to suppress my inalienable right to protect life and property to be "in violation of the law."
