(17,502 posts)19. Good for them.
which has nothing to do Arizona prior to statehood. Those state constitutions were valid until incorporation. So, I'm failing to see your point.
BTW, the Tombstone law applied to open carry unless it was in your hand. Once again, pre incorporation theory said all of the BoR applied only to the federal government.
So then tombstone arizona's prohibition on carrying concealed was not considered a violation of 2ndA, eh? .. carry prohibition except for law, deputies, & posse, which makes it de facto may issue - for the time period where a few hundred residents.
Tombstone could have established their own religion and banned freedom of assembly too based on the mentioned SCOTUS decision, what's your point?
Deputies were and are sworn police officers. Possies, if they were actually used, would be the same. Even then they would open carry, so your question is irrelevant.
