You can claim this. However the 2A does not protect a "right" to carry
Yes, it does. However there have been judges, like in the Robertson v. Baldwin case, that like you and Galileo like to read things into the 2A that are not there.

I have posted many times the evidence to support this. I think most is on the 2A part of this board. There is a lot and enough to suggest that bear arms means to have the "right" to be in the militia, and not to hunt etc.
Yes yes, I've read your ridicules theory that in the 2A "own" is an individual right but "bear" only applies to a militia. I've never commented on it because it makes no sense what so ever and I was hoping you would come to that conclusion on your own. No luck so far.

MAybe you do, maybe you dont. WHat you DON`T have is the constitutional protection.
Actually I do. What I don't seem to have is protection from missinterpretations of the BoR. On second thought I do, because I have the right to keep and bear arms I will be protecting myself.

For example. Under early US law, a black individual was not considered a proper human. The fact that a black person is as much a human as anyone else made no difference, the THEORY was followed and understood, the law accepted it and the law had to be seen within this context. It explained an abstract idea, that black people are somehow inferior to white people, rather than the actual truth, and legally it "worked" as a system.
My point exactly. Black people have the same human rights as anyone else regardless of what the gov't says. Rights they and others have been willing to fight and die for over time. What the Gov't had was a "theory" that said Blacks were inferior. What people have (people of any race) are "actual" human rights, not an abstract anything.

I can see the difference between dogs and humans. I see what really exists, and "rights" are purely an abstract idea. However your whole argument here is, this theory of yours is stupid, i dont accept. YOu have not made an attempt to destroy my argument. I think your theory on "rights" is stupid. So maybe now you can understand where i am coming from.
It makes no difference if you "accept" my theory or not. First off, its not a theory its fact. Human rights are not some abstract idea they are one of the things that seperate us from the animals you seem to hold as equal. Secondly I don't need to destroy you argument it destroys itself. You have contradicted your self so many timea as to render your arguement moot. For instance:
- You claim rights do not exist yet several times you have said I have the right to own arms.
- You said in your previous post that its a fact that a Black person is just as much a human as anyone else, I agree, but if rights don't exist how is this possible? Are they only human because the Gov't says so?
- You claim there are no rights but that the 2A protects something. The only thing the 2A can protect is a right. You cannot protect a "thing" with words only actions, you can protect or infringe upon a right with words and/or actions.
- You claim bearing arms connects only to the militia yet in another thread you recognise an unorganized militia. OK, fine, I'm in the unorganised militia 24/7 therefore I have the right to bear arms all day everyday.

Now let me translate. YOu think that guns are important, you think the govt has no place in taking your guns away, and you are willing to fight for this.
Wrong, let me translate it back to what I actually said. I KNOW that the RKBA is important, I KNOW gov't has no place in taking my arms away, and I am willing to fight for my rights.
Quote:
Carry and conceal meets the definition of "bear arms" for you.
No, "bear arms" means to carry them, hold them, have them on your person, etc. If you have a jacket over your arms you are still bearing them. The 2A puts no limit on how you bear them. Actually the 2A doesn't put any limits on individuals on bearing arms. The 2A only limits gov't.

God Bless
