West Virginia’s new law allowing concealed carry of firearms without a permit drew a lot of heat during last year’s legislative session, and that has rekindled during the past few weeks. Governor Earl Ray Tomblin, whose veto was overridden by the Legislature, renewed his criticism of the new law after the fatal shooting of a 15-year-old on Charleston’s East End.

This guy was carrying illegally. Why is that a criticism of Constitutional carry?
Are we to believe that he would have obeyed the law and not had a gun if a permit was required for concealed carry?
The stupidity of the anti-gun faction has no bounds. |

TO REMEMBER |
| For, in principle, there is no difference between a law prohibiting the wearing of concealed arms, and a law forbidding the wearing such as are exposed; and if the former be unconstitutional, the latter must be so likewise. But it should not be forgotten, that it is not only a part of the right that is secured by the constitution; it is the right entire and complete, as it existed at the adoption of the constitution; and if any portion of that right be impaired, immaterial how small the part may be, and immaterial the order of time at which it be done, it is equally forbidden by the constitution. [Bliss vs. Commonwealth, 12 Ky. (2 Litt.) 90, at 92, and 93, 13 Am. Dec. 251 (1822) |
