When the state makes everything one can do illegal does the word/term ‘criminal’ mean anything?
Let me illustrate; my home state of New Mexico has, in it’s State Constitution, the following:
[Right to bear arms.]
No law shall abridge the right of the citizen to keep and bear arms for security and defense, for lawful hunting and recreational use and for other lawful purposes, but nothing herein shall be held to permit the carrying of concealed weapons. No municipality or county shall regulate, in any way, an incident of the right to keep and bear arms.
Yet there is a State Statute forbidding the presence of firearms on University premises. See: http://www.conwaygreene.com/nmsu/lpext.dll/nmsa1978/9b0/efc5/f17d/f1a5?fn=document-frame.htm&f=templates&2.0
Now, given the above information; would I be a criminal if I were to take my Glock on campus open-carry? Would I be breaking any law? Why or why not?
A crime is a wrongdoing classified by the state or Congress as a felony or misdemeanor. A criminal is One that has committed or been legally convicted of a crime.
