In other words, you don't actually know what was the legality of concealed carry in the various States during the 18th century.

Irrelevant. The discussion is on 2A and RKBA. There were NO federal restrictions on concealed carry in the 18th Century.

And yet community defense is the only reason noted for the RKBA, even though it would've been very easy to include those others, if the author wanted them included.

I find it rather curious that the 2A omits such important reasons, whereas the other nine amendments in the Bill of Rights are so specific in spelling out their protections.

All you have to do is look at the debates and published writings to see...yet you refuse.


Leading a horse to water, here is how the 2A was proposed in the House, as submitted by the author:

The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed; a well armed, and well regulated militia being the best security of a free country: but no person religiously scrupulous of bearing arms shall be compelled to render military service in person.

Representative Fisher Ames of Massachusetts had this to say about the submission of the Bill of Rights:

Mr. Madison has introduced his long expected amendments. He has hunted up all the grievances and complaints of newspapers, all the articles of conventions, and the small talk of their debates. It contains a bill of rights, the right of enjoying property, of changing the government at pleasure, freedom of the press, of conscience. Oh! I had forgot, the right of the people to bear arms.

Nothing to see here...keep moving along...
