Hey all, I live in Idaho, and don't carry open a lot, usually concealled carry, but do sometimes. Anyway, having read through the threads some, and having looked through the Idaho Constitution, I had a question (I have asked this of the Govenor wrt workplace, and was told if I felt there was a problem, hire a lawyer).
Anyway, Article XI of the constitution covers corporations (Public and Private), and inside of that article, Section 07 is
SECTION 7. ACCEPTANCE OF CONSTITUTION BY CORPORATIONS. No corporation
other than municipal corporations in existence at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall have the benefit of any future legislation, without first filing in the office of the secretary of state an acceptance of the provisions of this Constitution in binding form.
SECTION 8. RIGHT OF EMINENT DOMAIN AND POLICE POWER RESERVED. The right
of eminent domain shall never be abridged, nor so construed as to prevent the legislature from taking the property and franchises of incorporated companies, and subjecting them to public use, the same as the property of individuals; and the police powers of the state shall never be abridged or so construed as to permit corporations to conduct their business in such manner as to infringe the equal rights of individuals, or the general well being of the state.
Section 12 is also a very interesting section on retroactive laws and imposing new liabilities on people (might apply to BSU rules?).
Anyway, I would like to see a discussion on this part of the constitution, and see if others read it the way I do. I really don't see how a corporation can be in compliance legally with this section, and still ban firearms (as that is is right Article 1 Section 11).
Thanks for reading my ramblings, would love to get your thoughts on this.
