Jim, that is the precise reasoning that the Idaho Supreme Court used in the 1902 case, In re Brickey, 8 Idaho 597:
Quote:
POLICE REGULATIONS-FIREARMS-CARRYING CONCEALED WEAPONS.- While it is, undoubtedly, within the power of the legislature to prohibit the carrying of concealed deadly weapons, and such regulation is a proper exercise of police power, yet the legislature does not possess the power to prohibit the carrying of firearms, as the right to do so is guaranteed to the citizen both by our federal and state constitutions.

It seems the Ohio Supreme Court reached the same conclusion.
