Concealed Weapon Permits Going Federal?

Yes we would agree with those things.  What we are talking about is the WHO not the WHAT.

its not the welfare cluase... its the general welfare cluase.

I think most of us would agree its in the best intrest of the country to have things like: safe drinking water, safe food, schools, mangment of natureal resources and etc.

I think I echo others here with the frustration on the interpretation:  Sometimes liberal sometimes conservative.  (I understand you aren't a "liberal")  The general welfare is a broad brush encompassing anything that needs to be for the "general good" in direct conflict with the singular interpretation on the 2nd (militia only not necessarily yours).  You have to pick one and stick with it.  As for the Constitution itself... Do you enjoy your right to vote?  Not in the document.  Here is a web site with several more (http://www.usconstitution.net/constnot.html#elec). 

Just for the record, on other threads the second amendment is referred to as the teeth for the rest.  That being the case.  How much teeth is it really in its present form?  Let's say there is a Civil War II. In homage to the '80's icon... "Where's the teeth?"  If you read it how the founders intended, there are several more unconstitutional laws that need to be overturned, and the whole donnybrook on "concealed means concealed" is the least of your worries.

I look forward to a convoluted response.

They are WRONG about "life liberty and pursuit of happiness" not being in the Constitution, I can't find my copy , but I THINK it's the 4rth or 14th amendment.

It is in the Declaration of Independence.

 Found what I was looking for. the 14th amendment section 1  does NOT mention "pursuit of happiness" but DOES say,
    Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United
States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens
of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No
State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the
privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor
shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or
property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person
within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
