Looking up the business of firearm-free zones, I'm struck by this line in RS 14:95.6:


"(5) Any constitutionally protected activity within the firearm-free zone, such as a firearm contained entirely within a motor vehicle."


So, if you OC while riding a motorcycle through a zone on a public street, are you in violation?

Clearly the firearm is NOT contained entirely within a motor vehicle as, per the example, it would be if you were inside an automobile, yet a motorcycle IS a motor vehicle. So does it still qualify as a "constitutionally protected activity"?

Is OC in and of itself a "constitutionally protected activity"?

If these questions have been beat on before I apologize. I searched but didn't find the answers I was looking for so....

Let's review.

The state constitution clearly defines the RIGHT to bear arms.
There are NO exceptions mentioned.

Numerous state and federal supreme court decisions clearly indicate the exercise of a RIGHT cannot be converted to a crime.

How much simpler can it be?
