"keep and bear arms"

[BCR #226]

And why pray tell should anyone listen to the court? Our Government has violated the Constitution and the law. They are not being held accountable. Why shouldn’t American Citizens do the same?

This is what dual standards lead to. You asked for it, you got it. No respect for authority. I carry a gun, I couldn’t care less who says I can’t. I’m going to carry to protect myself and my family. Have a problem with that? Get over it.

“To bullet-proof the ruling against an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, the Tenth Circuit recounted numerous court rulings and state laws dating back to 1813, and based its ruling on prior U.S. Supreme Court cases. “

I’m not impressed. Eaarlier Court decisions - state and federal - have been found to be in conflict with the Constitution by later courts.
Also, an anti-gun court can pick and choose decisions with which it agrees and disregard those with which it does not.

The Second Amendment clearly gives citizens the the right to “keep” arms - meaing posses and ALSO clearly states “and bear” meaning to CARRY arms.

If the Tenth Circuit is implying that CONCEALED weapons can be banned - it MUST, then recognize the right to carry UNCONCEALED Weapons must be offered as an alternative to the citizenry.

As Mark Levin has often stated, the Federal Courts are GREAT at basing bad decisions on questionable earlier decisions and so on backwards, deviating from the original intent of the Constitution which each generation of re-interpretation.

So long as the right to bear arms (carry) is unrestricted, I see no constitutional problem with a requirement that arms be borne openly (even to the point of forbidding concealed carry).

I didn’t read too deeply, but there’s a problem with this only if open carry is not permitted in the locality. If it isn’t this needs to be overturned on appeal (and given Heller as precedent most likely will be.)

there is no Second Amendment right to carry a concealed firearm in public. ... But to carry a concealed weapon in public, a state resident must apply to a local sheriff to get a permit.

The title leads me to believe that no one can legally carry a concealed firearm but at the end, it clearly states that you can if you have a permit.

That's pretty consistent with almost all the states.......
