dbrowne,
The "it's only a crime if you get caught" approach is a dangerous road to travel. You can start justifying all sorts of things if that is your mentality.
Agreed 100 percent. As a defense attorney I deal with solicitors and prosecutors that simply are not rational. They take the approach that if something is technically illegal, then it needs to be prosecuted--no matter how absurd. I have a kid right now that is being prosecuted for texting a porn picture of a woman to another guy (who was 16, had seen the picture before, and requested it). They are trying to put my kid on the sex offender registry! I have cases like this all the time. Imagine how sympathetic an Obama-appointed Federal Prosecutor is going to be to a violation of the NFA. Not very.
Now, most prosecutors are reasonable, but every large County has a few nut jobs--and I wouldn't want to tempt fate just so I could have a lower around to look at.
If you aren't armed when you take a dump in your own home then your opinion on what is a practical daily carry weapon isn't interesting to me.
