“The great natural law of self-preservation cannot e repealed or superseded or suspended by any human institution. The right of the citizens to bear arms in the defense of themselves shall not be questioned. Every man’s house is deemed by the law to be his castle; and the law invests him with the power and places on him the duty of the COMMANDING OFFICER OF HIS HOUSE.EVERY MAN’S HOUSE IS HIS CASTLE, and if anyone be robbed on it, it shall be esteemed his own default and negligence.”
~ James Wilson, Founding Father and Signer of the Declaration of Independence and one of the first six judges on the Supreme Court. He also wrote the Preamble for the Constitution.
