Got an Article and Section Cite for That?

However, the government (much to gun owners’ chagrin) has the authority to tell us where we can and can’t carry firearms. [More]
Where?

  1. "A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."

    Infringement being the government's presumed authority to tell you when and where you may bear arms? That is of course nonsensical as the wording is very clear. What you have instead is a deprivation of rights by government for the most part unsuccessfully challenged in court, and hence "allowed". You have all the rights you are willing to sue for in a court of law, at your expense, of course. Either way, because your tax dollars are also paying for the government's legal representation and fees.

    So when a state government claims that gun ownership is a "privilege" subject to state regulation, why is the following not followed?

    Article 4 Section 2:
    "The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States."

    Why should Massachusetts not honor a Florida issued License to Concealed Carry Firearms? Why should Florida not honor a Massachusetts issued License to Carry Firearms?

    Vermont law allows all U.S. citizens to keep and bear arms without a government issued "license", either openly carried or concealed carry. If that is not a right, then is it a privilege and immunity?
