Spin Zone / Texas passes constitutional carry
« on: May 25, 2021, 08:12:08 AM »Right to bear arms. If we're going to ignore the stuff about a militia, bearing arms means carrying them with you. Can't prevent folks form doing it, it's in the Constitution. You guys should keep in mind that I myself could move to Texas and carry a concealed weapon. Unintended consequences and all that.Have your ever read anything about the Second Amendment?
The Militia clause is a prefatory clause that announces a purpose, not a limitation, of the operative clause.
Even Wiki gives you a decent digest of the District of Columbia v Heller decision. You should read it.
And why would you being able to carry concealed in Texas be an unintended consequence? That’s an intended consequence if I’ve ever heard one.
