Let's work for "Constitutional Carry" in all 50 States.
If we win that, we've won. Everything short of that is merely gaining a temporary upper hand in a never-ending series of skirmishes.
Thing of it is, our Second Amendment already grants us Constitutional Carry:
1. The Constitution itself says Amendments become an integral part of the Constitution: "...shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution..." - Article V, U.S. Constitution.
2. Unlike the First Amendment, which was directed at Congress, the Second Amendment was directed at everyone, everywhere, and mandated that "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." It prohibits ANYONE from infringing on the right of the people to keep (own) or bear (carry) arms, and makes no distinction whatsoever with respect to the mode/means of carry.
The only reason we're in these battle in the first place is because We the People have rather foolishly allowed our government at all levels to encroach on this right, and rather un-Constitutionally so, at that. We've allowed them to open the door a crack "in the interests of public safety," without realizing the best safety program in the world is simply adhering to the Second Amendment so that everyone is free to keep and bear arms without restriction. "Shall not be infringed" means "shall not be infringed." There's no room for "interpretation," here. No provision was made for exceptions. Our Founding Fathers knew how to make provisions for exceptions, and did so quite well throughout the Constitution. This wasn't an oversight. It's a mandate. They did not want ANY infringement of ANY kind on the right to keep and bear arms, and to hammer the point home, they used the word "shall," which is an absolute legal imperative. Combined with the word "not," the term "shall not" is an absolute legal prohibition.
These and many other outstanding points are very clearly detailed and thoroughly referenced in the
1982 Congressional Report on the Right to Keep and Bear Arms. <--- Click to download your free copy! No sign-ups, menus, ads, or clutter.
Our task is simple: Convince the state legislatures to recognize the fact that unless State law reflects the fact that our U.S. Constitution grants us Constitutional Carry, the State is in non-compliance, irregardless of whatever legal mind**** the courts have done to themselves and the nation as a whole.
