Here. The Grand Jury would not recommend any legislative interference with what they conceive to be one of the most essential privileges of freemen, the right of carrying arms: But... Written by Paul Helmke's great granddaddy? Need more proof? We conceive that it manifests a hostile, and if the expression may be allowed, a piratical disposition against the human race... Piratical! Hah!
It is interesting how rarely things like this surface. Indeed, there have been restrictions on the carrying of arms since man first learned how to sharpen a stick. In this country regulation of one's ability to legally bear arms has always been seen as a violation of an essential right, even if it some justification was found to enact it.
Even when historical support for limiting concealed arms existed, it was not seen to violate the right to bear arms since open carry of arms was an accepted practice. However, in modern times, openly carrying weapons is acceptable in very few locations, which is why concealed carry has become immensely popular. It is plainly evident that one, the other, or both must be allowed in order for the individual right to bear arms to be inviolate. |
