My home state drove out the foreign occupation army about 233 years ago, and since then, law-abiding citizens have always been free to carry concealed handguns for any lawful purpose, albeit under a licensing system since the early 1920s. I would be absolutely shocked if - over the literally millions of concealed carry days, consisting of the aggregate of many hundreds of thousands of persons, spread out over 233 years - not a single one of those persons had done something boneheaded.
That being said, we only added the right to keep and bear arms to our
state Constitution in the 1980s. And yes, I think a law passed way back then is just as relevant today. Plus, the guns are the same, so you don't have to deal with the red herring of 'primitive technology.'
