A state can offer MORE protections than the Federal constitution, but it cannot offer LESS.

Jim, you're just wrong, I'm sorry.
The Supreme Court has not "incorporated" the 2nd amendment to apply to the states, as it has the 1st, 4th, 5th, parts of the 6th and 7th, etc.
Why do you think your state can deny you the right to a jury trial in traffic court?

yep, states can offer more, but not less. That is unless you are one of these lefty crackpots.
Notice how these same crackpots are using the US Constitution to find protections like abortion rights.
But the best is they always head to the US Constitution when they see a church.
Tribe has put all the 2nd stuff in the latest edition of his book on the Constitution.
The 2nd ammendment says what it says, so says Lawarence Tribe, the lefties guide to the Constitution.
