The Utah State Constitution states: "The individual right of the people to bear arms for security and defense of self, family, others, property or the state, as well as for other lawful purposes shall not be infringed; but nothing herein shall prevent the legislature from defining the lawful use of arms."
Can any of the legal scholars on the board explain the relationship between state and federal constitutional provisions? Does a more permissive state provision trump the 2nd A?
I have done some preliminary research and thought I would put it out for discussion.
