ccw ping!

The Constitution DOES give us all similar protection.

Many of our our "public servants" choose to ignore that fact.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

The judge said he didn't give any thought to the precedent the ruling would set, and focused only on the case.

Boy oh boy, now there's a refreshing attitude from the bench!

[agrace]

That's an excellent point. It would be interesting to know how many states have similar constitutions that affirm the second amendment so directly. Cool catch.

Article I, Section 6 of the Michigan Constitution:

"Every person has a right to keep and bear arms for the defense of himself and the state."

Yes!

Does anyone have an idea as to Virginia State Law concerning the carrying of a firearm that is not concealed?

[Publius6961]

Ex post facto is ex post facto.
Except when criminal rights are at stake.

Of course it's unconstitutional!
Even repeat murderers are presumed innocent.

Law-abiding citizens are easier to find and to arrest though.

I've always wondered: Are you allowed to carry your gun in an exposed holster?.

kAcknor Sez:

That was one of the arguments that Hamilton County prosecutors tried to use last year. That it was OK to carry open but not concealed. However, the defendant called in police offers to testify that if they see anyone actually do it, carrying in the open, they would arrest them for "inducing panic" or some other equally inane charges.

The judge saw the illogic and ruled against the county saying that the law prevented any carry and was thus unconstitutional.

It is still illegal to carry in Ohio, and the legislature is essentially blocked because of our anti-gun, tax-raising RINO of a governor.

The current Second Amendment in the Ohio Constitution is the original.

Ohio had a Constitution in 1802 and became a state in 1803. Odd.

"In the meantime, "the law of carrying a concealed weapon is still going to be enforced" in the county, Egbert said "

Hey Egg-Bert, since when is ignorance of the law an excuse?

[Bulldog1967]

Virginia has open carry, just don't try it in Arlington!

Ohio was not a state until August 7th, 1953. HJR-121

[Shooter 2.5]

Ohio - March 1, 1803

Unless this is one of those bar bets that have some sort of legalese attached to it.

Really, it's true. Congress forgot.
