Skimming through the constitution the other day, I got to the [strike]11[/strike] 9th (corrected by Nightmare) amendment, "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people." and thought to myself, that might be the most important of them all. Yet, in full disclosure and honesty, it isn't one I had particularly memorized. And, I bet, if I were to go around town, I could probably manage to find a perfect 0% of people that are aware of that amendment.
As a side, another thought I had when reading through the main body of the constitution, was that it read like it was written by a bunch of statists. Outside of the bill of rights, there's very little in the constitution that I'd consider fundamentally critical to the success of the nation. But, I was only skimming, and that was just an impression I had, not a conclusion post-muse.
On the original topic, I had a hard time figuring out if we were talking about where it'd be appropriate to prohibit the carry of weapons, or if we were simply talking about where it would usually be a better idea to decide not to carry. Most of the examples given seemed like places it'd be a good idea for one to decide on their own not to carry. IMO goes to show plenty of gun owners are indeed perfectly reasonable people and will make these sort of rational decisions on their own, opposition to carry and controversy over it being very unnecessary.
