It sort of came up in another thread, if you were to re word and eliminate wording from .270 to clarify illegal carry/intimidation how would you do it? Try and be as simplistic as possible, either by striking words all together or replacing a few key words.
9.41.270 Currently reads:

(3) Subsection (1) of this section shall not apply to or affect the following:
