Rev. 629, [https://constitution.org/1-Constitution/2ll/2ndschol/38haltex.pdf#page=30 668] (1989) ("Under the 1876 guarantee, the legislature (but not a locality) could regulate how arms were to be worn, i.e., openly or concealed, but could not bar the wearing of weapons per se.").

''Andrews v. State'', 50 Tenn. 165, [https://texaslegalguide.com/images/Tenn._165.pdf#page=16 180] (1871) ("The Convention of 1870, knowing that there had been differences of opinion on this question, have conferred on the Legislature in this added clause, the right to regulate the wearing of arms, with a view to prevent crime.").
