I live in Illinois. Why can't I conceal carry? Where's my 2nd amendment protection?

Probly right where you left it. By electing officials that trash your rights you are leaving your constitutional protections by the wayside. If you don't have the "jewels" to take these people to task don't come here and try and make sense out of it by interpreting our Constitution to fit your explanation or your lack of defending yourself.

All of the examples you can come up with are do to citizens believing their government is enacting laws "for the greater good". That includes NY City and Washington DC. Now tell me it worked out for the "greater good".

I live in Idaho, we don't elect people who wish to diminish our rights. What is your excuse?

"When guns are outlawed only outlaws will have guns". Sound familiar? I'll lay odds the criminals don't worry about conceal carry laws. What do you think?

So both of you are saying that the laws are violating the U.S. Constitution. All these laws, all the cities and states, are all in violation of the the second amendment of the U.S. Constitution and nobody has lifted a finger to do anything about it?

That makes sense to you? That's your claim? I don't suppose you can back this up?

You know I can back up my claim. What does that tell you? Tells me I'm right and you two are whack jobs.

"By electing officials that trash your rights you are leaving your constitutional protections by the wayside."

Seems to me that if I elected officials that voted for a re-institution of slavery, those laws would be struck down by the USSC as unconstitutional.

But when it came to concealed carry, the USSC said to us citizens in Illinois that the second amendment is a bar to federal action only.

You told me the second amendment applies to the states. Who's wrong?
