It's back!You call me the pest.
Yes, and I agree with Mark about that. Surprised Mark?
Except that, technically,Mark is correct in stating that the Constitution trumps a state law or local ordinance. (Don't take my word, ask any lawyer.) The State pre-emption law refers tolaws passed prior to its adoption as being grandfathered. However, the state Constitution outranks even that. So from a strict reading, the Amite anti-carry law is unconstitutional.
It would take a test case to have that formally declared, for that law was not nipped in the bud before it was passed. So if someone has the time and the money to fight a small town unconstitutional law, here's your chance. But be forewarned: it will be expensive, time-consuming, and people who do not clearly appreciate your motives will harangue you and inveigh against you in public internet forums.
I believe this was already cleared up.You also get into grey areas about what is concealed. Does a holster conceal a gun? Does it have to be readily recognized as a gun? Who decides what "readily recognized" is?

I wonder if you can see the irony in your own statements? Probably not.Smoking-something...sometimes your maturity and age shows through your well versed Thesaurus assisted prose. Seriously, X-Box Live must have really given you a beating to have ventured into trolling the forums.
spent the whole day there riding my Harley, Sunday, was spotted by Independence Police open carrying twice ! No problems, just a wave. Maybe there are a few smart L.E.O's there.MEMwrote:NO act of the legislature or some political subdivision of the state thereof can trump a RIGHT as defined in the state constitution.
why don't you go down there and test out your theory?
