Iron County Register, “The right of self-defense is one form of the right to life, which is inalienable; a man cannot divest himself of it, and the Constitution presumes that those who propose to destroy a man’s life or home or property, do not always give him notice of their intention so to do; he must then have the legal right to be always ready for defense to the uttermost, at any moment, or with any weapon he can demand. The Constitution gives a man the right of self-defense with any weapon”, Aug. 25, 1881
