quote:Well, you could start with the Louisiana Supreme Court. They've explained that keeping and bearing arms is a right, but it's not an absolute right. Quite a few rulings have been handed down on this in response to appeals based on "strict scrutiny."
One is a RIGHT...the other is a prevldge.
Where do I sign up for the rest of the Bill of Rights classes?

Quote from link: "Finally, the Louisiana Supreme Court also held in 2014 that the legislature retained the ability to pass laws regarding the carrying of concealed weapons, despite the 2012 amendment to the state’s constitution. In ruling that the challenged statutes regulating concealed carry and prohibiting juvenile handgun possession except under certain circumstances passed review under strict scrutiny, the court held that “[t]he right to keep and bear arms, like other rights guaranteed by [the] state constitution, is not absolute.
The court concluded that “the drafters and ratifiers [of the 2012 constitutional amendment] did not intend to invalidate the existing law restricting the carrying of concealed weapons, or to restrict the legislature’s authority to pass laws on that subject".
Bottom line: Keeping and bearing arms is a right. Concealing guns in public is a privilege.

This is where we should all be focusing the attention - that's literally the only change in that amendment - removing the concealed weapons clause. But, the LASC said that it didn't mean what it meant. That's impossible to overcome with a court that has that power.
