Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Driving on public roads is not a right, it is a privilege that can be revoked by the state at any time for any reason. (within the standard non-discrimination limits, race, sex, age, etc)
Yes it is BS but there really is no way to fight it.
Bull! You just choose to be ignorant and accept it, as did I at 16. There are multiple court rulings refuting your assertion. My understanding is that once you give up that right and become licensed, you can no longer make that case. But a person who never applies for a license can fight it and win. There are several who have.Originally Posted by merl

Thanks for the attack.
Good luck with your court case and enjoy your year without a license.
Not an attack, just facts. I put myself in the SAME boat with you. I accepted a license, I therefore have no standing. Why would I lose my license for stating facts. That makes no sense at all.
I went and read the laws and such, even talked to some LEO friends, I do not think that is accurate. It might be more expeditious to waive your rights, but the law can not force you to submit without cause.now when you go to a checkpoint and they make everyone do the test you will have no choice. period.
You are correct. Having run a couple of DUI checkpoints in the past, there is a very strict standard which has to be followed. You do not have everyone conduct roadsides; there must be some indication of intoxication before that is asked of the driver.

A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'
That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.
