i have a question-
i understand that per the state constitution, they can tell us we can't open carry, since they (SORT OF) allow concealed carry. BUT- i don't see how they are allowed to PROHIBIT us from carrying in certain places? it only says:
"SECTION 8. Right to bear arms.—
(a) The right of the people to keep and bear arms in defense of themselves and of the lawful authority of the state shall not be infringed, except that the manner of bearing arms may be regulated by law."
it doesn't say that they can also list places we aren't allowed to carry. it simply says manner of BEARING arms. seems like we've got a pretty good case...no?
i mean, just last night, 24 people got shot at a local club where i live. 2 dead. so i have to choose to either not go out, or risk going out without having any protection?
