The NRA is having a field trip day with this one

 

As a gun advocate myself, I see no Constitutional problem with this. We are guaranteed the right to bear arms, not the right to hide them.

 

What a joke. It's so irritating when these kinds of laws are passed because the criminals dont give a flying f*ck about what Congress passes. They are still gonna conceal their weapons. This just makes the law abiding citizens more vulnerable and unprotected. If you pass the courses and lawfully get a conceal permit, why can't it be for your own protection? Pisses me off.

 

This decision doesn't say you can't concealed carry. It says concealed carry is not Constitutionally protected. If your state offers a CCW and you pass the courses and get a concealed permit, you can still carry concealed.



I believe open carry should be legal everywhere.

 

I think concealed carry is a good thing, but I think it's pretty questionable whether it would be specifically protected under the 2nd amendment.

 

Going with the crowd on this one. Bear arms - nothing about arms in your pants.



I am good with the way Texas is running its program.

 

There's nothing that says it's protected, but on the flipside, there's nothing that says it isn't.

 

That's not how The Constitution works. It says what your right are, not what they aren't. Laws are what restrict how far your rights extend. In this case, the 9th Circuit said they don't extend to hiding your arms.
