You are as free as you dare to be.
There will be consequences, of course, just as there are for anything. But in the next moment you can choose to do anything that is physically possible. "Laws" can't affect your freedom; only you (and the realities of the physical Universe) can.
Your liberty is similar. You can choose to do absolutely anything which doesn't violate the identical and equal rights of anyone else- and you have the right to do so.
Of course, enemies of freedom and liberty will be trying to catch and punish you. Bad guys have always been around, and they always will be. Currently, most of the worst of them call themselves government, but they are no different than the thugs of any other era. They don't want you to be free (even if they claim their "system" is "the freest on Earth" LOL), and they certainly don't want you exercising your Rightful Liberty.
Defy them if you want to.

This is a good short supplement or sequel to our friend, Mark's, Be Free article of several years back, from which I often quote.

The late Delmar England phrased it thus:
"...Socialism, communism, democracy, monarchy, etc, all presumably represent different forms of government. Root level definition of government is initiation of force and coercion. A dark alley mugging is no less government than any other initiation of force and coercion. The official government version may be politicized, organized, centralized and canonized and “socially approved,” but this does not dismiss the definitive commonality of the operative premise. If and when governmentalists see their kinship with a common robber, they may be a bit more inclined to reconsider their philosophy. Of course, this is not going to happen in an environment where distorted language provides a psychological means of hiding from self behind abstracts with nearly all playing the same self deluding word game..."
