Description
1. "Where a provision of a constitution is clear in its terms and of plain interpretation to any ordinary and reasonable mind,
it should be applied and not construed." Syl. pt. 3, State ex rel. Smith v. Gore, 150 W.Va. 71, 143 S.E.2d 791 (1965). 2. W.Va. Code, 61-7-1 [1975], the statutory proscription against carrying a dangerous or deadly weapon, is overbroad and
violative of article III, section 22 of the West Virginia Constitution, known as the "Right to Keep and Bear Arms Amendment."
It infringes upon the right of a person to bear arms for defensive purposes, specifically, defense of self, family, home and
state, insofar as it prohibits the carrying of a dangerous or deadly weapon for any purpose without a license or other statutory
authorization.
