|
In 1791, the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution, part of the United States Bill of Rights, protects the right of the people to keep and bear arms.
Soooo, IF your weapons would a.) be made by a gunsmith b.) have rudimentary rifling c.) be a single-shot weapon d.) be loaded through the muzzle, and e.) fire by means of a flintlock I see no problem. BUT, nowhere does it say you can walk around with your damn musket already loaded. |
