Judge Claims to Support Second
Amendment, Just not the "Bear" part

By Dean Weingarten. March 12th, 2017

In a recent article in Military.com, senior federal judge Walter H. Rice was quoted. The judge has been with the District Court since 1980. His opinion about federal jurisdiction over legal carry on federal facilities is correct as to the state of current law, as far as I have determined. At the moment, federal officials can bar the carry of private arms at their facilities with proper signage.

But it was the statement of the judge's personal opinion about the Second Amendment that was interesting. Judge Price said he supported the Second Amendment. He then said that open and concealed carry laws were a danger to any community. .......

It would seem that Judge Rice belongs to the club that likes to interpret and rule on the 2A selectively, according to their personal opinion. No one will see within the 2A, any restriction on "bearing" of arms to be confined perhaps to just one's dwelling with no right to carry outside of that. The judge also seems to suggest that anyone wishing to carry their means of personal self defense could be by default, mentally impaired. "To bear arms" should not be location limited, which only expands the reach of 'gun-free-zones' - something of course criminals readily support.
