As I mentioned in a previous post, several states ban open carry without a license. So I don't really see that there is a Constitutional issue, or no state would be allowed to do that. I still think she'll lose in court. Unless NM has some particularly broad gubernatorial powers in their laws. Which they might, though I'm guessing not. NM is between TX and AZ, and we both have old-west gun laws.**



**Though I think AZ reformed a few of them after a series published in the AZ Republic on our gun laws (maybe 40 years ago, now). One I remember was that if I saw someone standing on a public street holding my TV, I could shoot him dead. BUT...big BUT...I would have to prove that it was my TV. If I could do that, it would be a "righteous shoot". I think that law has since changed. A local lawyer used to have a column in the paper (Van O'Steen, IIRC).
