I would rather the police handle these things.
Yeah, like the guy who killed another man with one punch @ Glenview CC because he thought he scratched his car... Only took "seconds"...

How old are you?

All I get out of it is a well -regulated militia. The writers of the Constitution were very familiar with Roman and English history. They were probably very scared of wannabe Emperor and put in militia as a check on absolute control. The states would have their own armies in other words.


The tools of the pioneer were probably assumed to be protected as you could not survive without weapons of some kind. Practical weapons. Musket pistols and rifles, axes, knives, swords, etc.
You obviously ignored the part where the 2A states "The right of THE PEOPLE shall not be infringed"...

My guess is that in reality there are not very many people carrying guns in the villages. But maybe that is just my naiveté.
It's obvious you no nothing about the multitude of holster options that can render a carried gun "unnoticeable"...

Complete speculation and conjecture...
