Appeals Court: No Constitutional Right to Concealed Weapons 
------------------------------------------------------------


 
A federal appeals court has ruled permits to carry concealed weapons are
not protected by the Second Amendment. The ruling came in the case of a
Washington State resident who had unsuccessfully sought a concealed
weapons permit in Colorado. The Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit
ruled the right to bear arms does not supersede laws barring their
concealment.
