“We find a guarantee of the individual right to possess and carry weapons in case of confrontation. This meaning is strongly confirmed by the historical background of the Second Amendment.

The very text of the Second Amendment implicitly recognizes the pre-existence of the right and that it ’shall not be infringed’.”
