The framers of the Constitution would roll over in their graves if they knew that an amendment so simple to understand as the 2nd amendment would cause such controversy.
Well, it looks like out constant activism is finally sinking in. To think that we actually need activism and debate about something as simple as the Second Amendment. Shameful. We cannot rest, especially now that things are starting to turn for the better.
This case would never have seen the light of day in Arizona 50 years ago because no cop would have bothered stopping anyone just because they had a sidearm or a rifle.

That’s stupid. Why would you frisk the guy you KNOW has a gun?? (Unless of course you’re just TRYING to have a chilling effect) Normally a frisk is to find out if someone has a hidden weapon. Of what interest is it to find out if someone has a hidden weapon when you already know for a fact that he’s armed??
