You have yet to demonstrate how requiring someone to carry a gun concealed is infringing upon their rights.
No, I've actually explained it quite clearly.

You say I have no right to peace, but the government tries to protect it. It's the government's job to protect my rights. So which is it?
Point out in the constitution where you are guaranteed peace.

Quote:
Is it a right or not? If it's not, why does the gov't seek to protect it?
Because the government is enforcing what amounts to an unconstitutional law.

Quote:
You say that inciting a panic is not a Constitutional offense. It is, however, a legal offense.
You summed it up in the first sentence. Inciting a panic does not directly infringe upon any rights.

Quote:
Requiring that guns be CC instead of OC is eliminating the potential for panic.
Requiring that all speech must be reviewed by government officials would eliminate the potential for panic as well.

Quote:
Now answer this... how does CC-only infringe on the 2nd Amendment?
For the same reason that controlling speech in any way is in violation of the first amendment.

Once you place a requirement on a right, it's no longer a right.

Let's apply a little logic:

1. Bearing arms is a right
2. Once you place a requirement on a right, it's no longer a right.
3. Bearing arms has no requirements.

The only constitutional obligation I have is to not infringe upon the rights of others in my bearing.
