Concealed Weapons.

The Theoda Menora a paper pub
lished in Rapides parish thinks that
the concealed weapon law ought to be
done away with. On this subject 1t
says;
"What is known as the concealed
weapon law is one of the veriest hum
bugs ever placed on the statute books.
It has been in force for the past TWEEN
ty-fye wears or more, and we doubt If
any one could be found who under
oath would assert that it has been OF
any service whatever in preventing
murder or crimes of a henious nature.
1t is really a law which tends to place
the law-obeyfng citizens at the mercy
of those who willfully set the laws at
defiance, and gives the latter an undue
advantage over the former Whlie we
believe it would be more preferable to
take a whipping semi annually than to
be forced to carry a pistol about our
persons, and do not admire hoodlum-
ism, still we are of the opinion that 1t
would be a good thing to wipe out the
law entirely. A few men are up for
trial each court, and are charged with
the violation of the law against con
cealed weapons. A few of this mum
Der are found guilty and psy a fine,
but the costs of prosecution cost the
taxpayer in many cases more than the
penalty adjudged. Men 10 all cond''
lions of life violate the law and run
the risk of being reported. If report
ed they grow angry at it being done,
and sometimes show it afterwards.
Besides this the law infringes the spir-
1t of the constitution wherein it COM
mands that mo law shall be passed
by any state which impairs the right of
persons carrying arms"
There is a good deal of thruth in
what the Theoda Menora says. 10
stead of preventing crime il puts the
law abiding element at the mercy Of
every crank or tough. Time has shown
how impossible it is to prevent the
bad element from carrying concealed
weapons. There is not Il hood|um in
the country who is not the owner OF II
pistol and who does not carry it CON
cealed on his person whenever he sees
fit. If it were possible to so enf"rce
this law that enough Of the %violators
could be punished to make the carry
ing of weapons the exception instead
of the rule, the law would be il good
one and no doubt would be instrumen
tai in preventing crime; but time has
shown that this is an impossibility
"Self preservation is the first Inv
of nature" and as long as the crime
committing element is not prevented
from carrying weapons, as a matter Of
protection, a number OF the better class
