"This whole discussion you originally commented upon revolved around the civil liberties that are guaranteed by the BOR."

The Bill of Rights and the U.S. Constitution have nothing to do with this. The teens are bearing arms under the rights protected by the Idaho state constitution.

"Witness the recent parker decision in DC as I talked about earlier."

The Parker decision involved a federal, not state, law. In that case, the U.S. Constitution applies. The federal DC Circuit Court concluded that the federal law violated the second amendment by infringing on the individual right to keep and bear arms. Their decision only applies to federal law and, consequently, the residents of Washington, DC that the law affects.

You obviously love to argue even to the point of mistating what you said earlier. This is my last post to you as you have totally misunderstood the original point I was trying to make to someone else.

Unless there was a law specifically forbiddding open carry in Idaho, then it’s legal. That’s how it is in Pa. Why is it legal? Because the 2nd amendment said so, that’s why. If you would have actually read the conversation I was having with another poster, you would have realized we were talking about the FEDERAL constitution and the BOR. But you just like to argue and debate and not actually read what anyone else is writing.

Good day!
