What do we mean by 'Law Abiding'?

Does it mean always legal or sometimes illegal and just not getting caught?  The term is used a lot to describe gun owners and CW permit holders but I would suggest the term be amended to read:  'law abiding, for the most part, citizens'.

Sometimes I'll sneak 13 or 14 items through the 12 item express check out lane at the grocery store...I'm a rebel living on the edge.

I'd totally do the one in the middle, Is she legal?



Kind'a old. But if you're passing through New York give me a call



Oh, sorry. I assumed she was stupid for being your wife




Right now you sound like a whiny bitch. So you're probably Hoddy's wife.




It really does look like it's Hoddy's stupid wife

"Law abiding" means, "I haven't accidentally shot anyone, yet."

"Senators say they fear the N.R.A. and the gun lobby. But I think that fear must be nothing compared to the fear the first graders in Sandy Hook Elementary School felt as their lives ended in a hail of bullets. The fear that those children who survived the massacre must feel every time they remember their teachers stacking them into closets and bathrooms, whispering that they loved them, so that love would be the last thing the students heard if the gunman found them."- Gabrielle Giffords

It means people who do bot intend to break laws, are not likely to break laws, not violate the rights of others, who respect laws that are just and fair.

I think you've left yourself a loophole or two but, I understand what you're saying.

When you refer to yourself or someone else as a "good person," does that mean you or they have never done anything regrettable?  It's a generatlization.

In that case it's a good thing the term 'law abiding' wasn't ever included in the Bill Of Rights or we would have been debating what the founders meant.  For a generalization it's a phrase that gets used an awful lot, much like 'hard working' people and their 'hard earned' money.

I would suggest that depending upon the law, everyone has a point at which they will refuse to comply.

To me, law abiding means not driving more than 10% over the posted speed limit.

Everybody breaks a law now and then. I do it every time I get on the ZX11 and pop a wheelie from 35 mph.

A loophole?

I see a Holland Tunnel sized loophole in the 'just and fair' clause.

Somewhere there's a telephone pole with your name on it.

Howdy, I ride a RC51. Love bikes. Don't see any point in wheelies though.
