Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.

Maybe those are modern "interpretations" of old handwriting that didn't quite get it right.

Looper is a surname from  northwestern S. C. Cheney Looper posted a Peden rifle on here once that is still in their family.  Britzer may be a reference to someone also
