I am a supporter of the ACLU. The reason is that it stands up for folks with unpopular ideas and that is part of what our liberty is about—folks with unpopular ideas being allowed to express them. Here is one more example, from The Volokh Conspiricy. "ACLU Fighting Attempts to Suppress Anti-Islam Speech". I am not saying I agree with the content of the speech, just the right to express the views contained therein.
I support the ACLU, just like I support the NRA.
It is about our Bill of Rights and our freedom.

IMHO, There aren't nearly enough of us NRA+ACLU folks.
I have guns and love them. I also support the ACLU, but not all of their initiatives. But then, that is a freedom that I think having an armed citizenry ensures. It seems an irreconcilable conflict...but in fact it is not.
I generally carry a gun in NH because most of our cops are just too heavy to carry.
