I see that you're still promoting your bizarre "Nunn" position that the 2nd Amendment allows concealed carry bans. Very Sarah Brady.
We are of the opinion, then, that so far as the act of 1837 seeks to suppress the practice of carrying certain weapons secretly, that it is valid, inasmuch as it does not deprive the citizen of his natural right of self-defence, or of his constitutional right to keep and bear arms . But that so much of it, as contains a prohibition against bearing arms openly is in conflict with the Constitution, and void; and that, as the defendant has been indicted and convicted for carrying a pistol, without charging that it was done in a concealed manner, under that portion of the statute which entirely forbids its use, the judgment of the court below must be reversed, and the proceeding quashed.

Robert Paulsen made the claim that concealed carry may not be protected under the 2A in his post 1111. Is he a Sarah Brady fan as well?
