Some Concealed Weapons Okay

By

The state’s high court has ruled 6-1 that homeowners and store owners have the right to carry concealed weapons on their own property.
The court was ruling whether a 1998 state constitutional amendment giving people the right to keep and bear arms superceded a state law prohibiting carrying concealed weapons.
The court ruled the amendment does not overturn the state’s 130-year old ban on concealed weapons but asks for some fine tuning of it.
