The Constitution ensures RKBA rights, but it doesn't prevent gov't from restricting those rights to criminals, mentaly unstable persons, etc. By supporting any legislation called Constitutional Carry, you may be giving the impression to the anti's that you believe ALL persons may carry a gun because of 2A Constitutional rights. That's a whole different impression than Open Carry. MHO.
Ok, then I'll try this. How does Constitutional Carry only imply Open Carry, and not imply Concealed Carry? I don't think the Constitution has any bearing on the "method" used in the right to bear arms.
