A judge at the time ruled that Caetano’s decision to carry a stun gun was illegal because the Second Amendment right to bear arms only applies to the types of weapons commonly used at the time the amendment was ratified.

So under this reasoning, I can carry a loaded flintlock pistol with me anywhere?

Some states like Michigan consider any gun made before 1898 as an antique and not a firearm. At least it was that way 5 years ago when I was there. An old black powder cap and ball 6 shooter could be carried concealed without a permit.

Why limit yourself? Why not a tomahawk and a sword cane?

Should be able to carry or drag a mounted cannon also as that was common in that era also.
