Is ancap a lawless society?
Can somebody explain to me or guide me to literature about law in an anarcho capitalist society?
I just have a big problem grasping ancap ideas.
Also, I ask so many questions because I never furthered my education after highschool. I just always thought that I would just enter the job market and build from there but the more I accomplish, the poorer I feel sometimes and would prefer to go back to my point of entry. (As strange as it sounds)
It really depends on how you define “law”. I’d say that anarcho-capitalism would certainly be an orderly society.
I’d check out this thread at the very least (if you haven’t already). Lots of good stuff in there, and the exchange between trulib and myself is ongoing.
Don’t worry, a lot of people don’t, so you have plenty of company. 
Asking questions is the hallmark of an intelligent and eager-to-learn mind. Please don’t feel bad about it!
I’m sorry you feel that way about your education and job situation. Hopefully things will improve for you.
“Is ancap a lawless society?”
No.
“Can somebody explain to me or guide me to literature about law in an anarcho capitalist society?”
Chaos Theory by economist Robert P. “Bob” Murphy. Below are some Mises Daily articles he wrote on the subject:
Private Defense Is No Laughing Matter
But Wouldn’t Warlords Take Over?
The Possibility of Private Law
Should We Love or Loathe the Mafia?
What are you Calling ‘Anarchy’?
“Also, I ask so many questions because I never furthered my education after highschool. I just always thought that I would just enter the job market and build from there but the more I accomplish, the poorer I feel sometimes and would prefer to go back to my point of entry. (As strange as it sounds)”
Be careful about how you invest in your education. College can be a waste.
Certainly not. Private defense being an economic good would be rationed off in the market, just as any other good or service.
Here is some literature you requested
That should be a start.
No this is great, Ask questions, as many as you need. DO some reading too though =)
Don’t worry about annoying people with questions, theres nothing you can do about it any ways, and questions are necessary and expected most of the time(Or at least should be).
The law is whatever the major concurrent centers of power agree upon. So if I am a subscriber of court A and I get into a conflict with a member of court B, the law is the standing agreement between court A and B.
AnCap is lawless. It is based on private contracts which do not have the force of law, rather are insured.
The market doesn’t ration, it economizes. If they mean the same thing, then what’s so bad about socialism resorting to rationing?
LibertarianCowboy, You and I seem to have many similarities re: the last paragraph of your initial post though perhaps for different reasons. Who knows? But that’s not the point. Try to put “it”, whatever “it” is, into perspective. While we can’t recoup our time in life, we can make different choices from this point forward AND enjoy what is left of it with no regrets, no feelings of guilt (false or true) and be happy, content and enriched on all levels. As far as I can tell, there are alot of intelligent people on here and they seem to understand alot of different subjects. Personally, I think an-caps are on the right track. They are “enlightened”. I want that too! Hang in there man and ask away! Oh, and I believe someone mentioned reading also. Yes, definitely do that.
Btw LibertarianCowboy, Try not to get discouraged if you don’t have an “Aha!” kind of moment immediately. I suppose it varies for each of us for various reasons. My “moment” started with Lew Rockwell’s “The Left, The Right, The State”.
LibertarianCowboy, Believe it or not, the Bible has alot to say on “the law” , “law” and legal principles that can be easily applied to an-cap thought.
I think the rest is a bit silly. Instead I would recommend you read these:

then read this:

From those it is pretty easy to see how misguided the deontologic approaches some others have linked are.
Ancap is stateless society. That doesn’t mean it is lawless. I even think lawless society is impossible. Though, it depends how one defines law, haha.
Because thats a red-herring. The issue isn’t about rationization. It’s about meeting the the demands of individuals. IE the difference between socialism and capitalism isn’t in rationization, but it’s recognized in the system best maximizes the satisfaction of all individuals. Obviously all systems ration, thats an inherent facet of scarcity.
I’m not going to bicker over something as insignificant is this anyways.
Just a thought:
Might makes right come in to play when one demands exclusive rights. For example, I have a right to take money from you, but you can not take money from me. And the only way to achieve this is through physical force (or at least a threat). Hence - might makes right.
But for the most part, “rights” are universalizable thing (no one would advocate rape or theft per se). Only exclusive rights must be “enforced” how Stranger says.
