It's a sick commentary on today's justice system that this would even need to be asked, or that any other answer MIGHT be given.

I can't think of anything to add to this statement other than emphasis.

Sign me up for agreeing that camper said it as best as it could be said.

Here are some more words on the topic:

The Delaware Supreme Court in this opinion adopted the reasoning of a decision by the Wisconsin Supreme Court, and found that the constitutional right to bear arms in this context made the conviction for carrying a concealed deadly weapon without a license in one's home a violation of the constitutional right to bear arms in defense of one's self, one's family and one's home. This decision, consistent with common sense, is an appropriate extension of the natural right of self-defense and the Delaware Constitution's provision providing for the right to bear arms.
