All else aside, the prohibition of licensed CCW holders against carrying on public transportation is facially unconstitutional. Not everyone, particularly poor and many elderly folks, do not drive and cannot afford taxis and whatnot. They use public transportation because it's the only avenue available to them.
Since that prohibition discriminates against large swaths of the population, it impermissibly burdens their 2A and 14A rights. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
