"Sovereign Citizen" is a dichotomy: one can be sovereign or one can be a citizen, but not both simultaneously.
So yes, everyone ought to be able to choose, freely and without coercion, both for themselves and regarding any property they may NATURALLY (as opposed to "legally") own, whether or not to become citizens of a society and whether or not to subject their property(s) to the rules of that society.
What one may not do, however, is to zigzag, one day accepting the benefits of a society then in the next not allowing its police on their property.
