Did they have small muskets you could conceal? Did you need a permit or were there no limits to musket ownership? I wonder why so many folks zeroed in on "the right to arm bears" and seem to have ignored the rest of the Constitution? I wonder why folks fight to the death for their right to own guns that folks use to kill but don't fight for the right to not be killed which would be the result of tighter restrictions and sensible legislation?
Does the killer always have the right-of-way?
