The only legitimate use of force is in defense of individual rights—life, liberty, and justly acquired property—against aggression. This right inheres in the individual, who may seek to be, or agree to be aided by any other individual or group in the exercise of the right to self-defense. Furthermore, individuals have the right to possess any weapon except those so powerful, they would not be considered defensive in nature, but would be considered the aggressive use of force in their application. Private property owners shall be free to establish their own conditions regarding weapons. | The only legitimate use of force is in defense of individual rights—life, liberty, and justly acquired property—against aggression.
