Something to ponder

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

So, someone explain to me what the "bear arms" portion of this important statement in our Bill of Rights. If bearing arms means what the Founding Fathers intended, it means that the citizens of this country have the right to carry their arms whenever and where ever they want.

If this is the case, then isn't the C.C.W. requirement to carry a weapon hidden on your body unconstitutional? If the bear arms part means what the Found Fathers intended to, doesn't getting a C.C.W. actually limit your Rights? Think about it, by getting a C.C.W. you are agreeing to the terms of the C.C.W. laws in your area and signing away your Constitutional rights to carry whenever and where-ever you want. Now, I have a C.C.W. but I never considered this before.

It's just something to think about.
