"...I doubt they need laws to carry..."


Exactly. The police officer who tries to apprehend a U.S. senator on a gun charge wouldn't be able to find a job as a mall security guard.

Since the 2A is NOT for personal protection, but rather for protection from governmental tyranny...

It is for both.

Nowhere in the Second Amendment does it *exclude* personal protection.

It is indirectly or implicitly for personal protection. For the security of a free state, though, it is direct and explicit.

No. Absolutely not. Until I can carry in the District of Criminals, they can do without as well.
