LOL, another one who seems to have a comprehension problem. The question was directly and singularly pertaining to weapons and not general treatment of police versus civilians.

Hm, "was directly [...] pertaining to weapons", huh? (And is not 'bearing arms' directly pertaining to weapons?) Let's try these or these then.
Because the latter screwed up their website, here's the first 7 NMSA listings WRT weapons:
30-7-1 "Carrying a deadly weapon".
30-7-2 Unlawful carrying of a deadly weapon.
30-7-2.1 Unlawful carrying of a deadly weapon on school premises.
30-7-2.2 Unlawful possession of a handgun by a person; exceptions; penalty.
30-7-2.3 Seizure and forfeiture of a handgun possessed or transported by a person in violation of unlawful possession of a handgun by a person.
30-7-2.4 Unlawful carrying of a firearm on university premises; notice; penalty.
30-7-3 Unlawful carrying of a firearm in licensed liquor establishments.

Both of these states have in their Constitutions wording that is utterly prohibitive of such abridgments, and both are blatant in their exceptions-for-law-enforcement.

SD Constitution, Art 6, § 24. Right to bear arms. The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the state shall not be denied.

and

Art II, Sec. 6. [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

You and your pal dragnet2 (dum, da dum dum, just the facts ma'am)need to get together and talk things over so as to avoid looking more foolish thasn you already do here.

I'm looking foolish? Maybe you forgot to actually look at the laws.

OH please!! Go back and read the original question and stop with the contortions to defend your friend. What are you his mommy?

It was about guns and the question asked was whether I thought cops and civilians were treated equally. I merely stated then and again now that police are subject to stringent back round checks and intensive training before they are permitted to even join the force much less carry a weapon.

There was NO question regarding a specific statute anywhere.
