C-Dub, that is the crux of the argument. Is the regulation of the type of gun you carry constitutional or is it an interference with your 2A rights? If the gun regulation is unconstitutional, and I believe it is, then so is the regulation of how you travel. While driving was not the original subject of the discussion on travel rights, I do believe that requiring a DL is unconstitutional and that your driving, even on public streets, is a right inherent in your right to travel.

Part of my belief system on this is that the government authority to regulate my rights is much more limited than most people think. Another part is to try to be internally consistent. By internally consistent, I mean things like agreeing that you, or people I don't like, have the exact same rights I do. And if I have a right in one area and take it to mean that it is complete, then I must recognize that all rights are complete and apply the logic to all.

A third analogy might be that I have the right to a free press, but the government could limit the size or capabilities of it. Clearly, if I have a right, I have the right with all of its implications.

I strongly disagree. And the best analogy to this is that I have the right to self-defense but that does not mean i have the right to any means I desire so gun ownership and carrying can be regulated.
