    | The Wednesday Your Turn column on the editorial page enumerated several “common sense” recommendations to lower gun violence in Florida. While I agree with many of them, I must disagree with two.
 
 As is the usual case with those who wish to restrict gun rights, limiting freedoms is couched in phrases like “dangerous and ineffective Stand Your Ground Law.” This law is important to provide protection to those who are faced with the threat of imminent death or great bodily harm, in my opinion.
 
 Also, they did not recommend arming teachers, citing “no evidence that arming teachers makes kids safer.”

                      | 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.
