Then in 1891 the part about, "shall not be questioned" was removed. I don't see the point of this discussion. Our state constitution was mostly copied from Pensylvania's constitution and their present-day constitution contains the original wording, unchanged from what we copied from them in 1792. Having that wording didn't protect them one bit. Pennsylvania has more restrictive gun laws than Ky. has. What good did those words do them? What good would they have done us if they had been left as originally written? The answer is that it would have done us no good at all, just like it has done the people of Pa. no good. We would still be in the same place as we are now. Why? Because words on paper are meaningless unless people are willing to force the government to adhere to them. So far, the people of Ky. have been unwilling to force our government to comply with those or other words on paper. At least, our government had the good manners to amend the constitution before they outlawed concealed carry. The government of Pensylvania didn't bother with that nicety. They just ignored it completely, as have both states in regulating open carry. Until the people demand it stop, it will go on, no matter how many posts about it go on OCDO. Look at all the turmoil that has been caused by something happening in another state, worries about a Governor doing something that he can't do and three legislators discussing potential bills that have not ever appeared. Just think about what could be done with that momentum if directed in the right direction. Have you heard even one of those people complain about restrictions on open carry or ask where a public college gets the authority to ban guns or ask why it is that we can carry both openly and concealed, in the Capitol and nobody, not even the Governor, can stop us, but just go a few blocks down the street to Frankfort City Hall and you will find "No Concealed Weapons" signs on every entrance? Just think, the Governor can't ban guns in a state building but the Mayor of Podunk, Ky can in a Podunk City building. How is that possible? Why do we spend any time at all pontificating about words on paper from 2 centuries ago? We can't make any sense out of what is happening today. Why don't we close the history books and spend some time discussing how to solve some present day problems.
