I thought about Mr. and Mrs. Bat Masterson, who were openly wearing their peacekeepers last week when some state lawmakers introduced House Bill 69.
That bill, also known as the Constitution Carry Act, would obviate the need for Tar Heel citizens 18 and older to obtain a concealed carry permit to carry a rod. Toting a piece without a permit is currently a Class 2 misdemeanor.
I asked state Rep. Ken Goodman, whose district is comprised of Richmond, Robeson, Scotland and Hoke counties, what he thinks of the bill. “You can’t print what I think of it,” Goodman said Wednesday before adding, “I think it is the stupidest bill I’ve ever heard of. Where is the need for a bill like that?” |

QUOTES
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) |
