   The law is unconstitutional. The Supreme court has already ruled in Murdock v. Pennsylvania
   319 U.S. 105 (1943), and in Shuttlesworth v. City of Birmingham, 394 U.S. 147 (1969),that,
   1. that you can not convert a right into a privilege and then charge to exercise that right.
   2. that you cannot license a Constitutionally protected right.
   In Bliss v. Commonwealth of Kentucky 12 Littell 90 Ky. 1822, (even tho this was the State Supreme Court, the Sate never challenged the ruling by going to SCOTUS), the Kentucky Supreme Court stated, (excerpt)”And can there be entertained a reasonable doubt but the provisions of the act import a restraint on the right of the citizens to bear arms? The court apprehends not. The right existed at the adoption of the constitution; it had then no limits short of the moral power of the citizens to exercise it, and it in fact consisted in nothing else but in the liberty of the citizens to bear arms. Diminish that liberty, therefore, and you necessarily restrain the right; and [Volume 5, Page 213] such is the diminution and restraint, which the act in question most indisputably imports, by prohibiting the citizens wearing weapons in a manner which was lawful to wear them when the constitution was adopted. In truth, the right of the citizens to bear arms, has been as directly assailed by the provisions of the act, as though they were forbid carrying guns on their shoulders, swords in scabbards, or when in conflict with an enemy, were not allowed the use of bayonets; and if the act be consistent with the constitution, it cannot be incompatible with that instrument for the legislature, by successive enactments, to entirely cut off the exercise of the right of the citizens to bear arms. For, in principle, there is no difference between a law prohibiting the wearing concealed arms, and a law forbidding the wearing such as are exposed; and if the former be unconstitutional, the latter must be so likewise.”
