This is settled.              Please provide a citation to the U.S. Supreme Court opinion that       holds "a requirement for a permit to carry a concealed weapon is       not an infringement of the right." Without that Opinion, the       question most assuredly is not settled.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
