The case to which C.D. is referring is State v. Moerman,
182 Ariz. 255, 895 P.2d 1018 (App. 1994). The Court's reasoning is
exactly as C.D. states.

v Now let me tell you what you risk by doing this.

Some Arizona court of record since has ruled that the two votes at the territorial convention against the prohibition of concealed weapons did not establish a "clear intent" against the prohibition or regulation of concealed weapons. According to their reasoning, the concealed weapon issue was not the ONLY change made by the language of each of the proposed amendments -- therefore, it is impossible to say for sure whether the representatives were voting solely against the prohibition of concealed weapons, or whether they were objecting to OTHER language changed by those amendments.

I did a long search for the exact cite to this ruling, but failed to find it. Perhaps someone else can give me the reference.
