Middleburgh Mayor Matthew Avitabile has filed a lawsuit in United states District Court arguing that he has the right to carry a taser. If he wins-and Schoharie County Attorney Mike West is doubtful he will-Mr. Avitabile said it doesn't mean he'll start carrying a taser on the streets of Middleburgh. But it doesn't mean he won't be carrying one either. |

West is wrong. The Second Amendment protects a right to bear "arms", not just firearms. I believe that MA and CT have already settled this question in their state courts. |

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) |
