The Right to Keep and Bear Arms Under State Constitutions

See the link for Professor Volokh's list of state constitutional provisions that purport to guarantee the right to keep and bear arms.

I have previously quoted Ohio's Constitution:

The people have the right to bear arms for their defense and security; but standing armies, in time of peace, are dangerous to liberty, and shall not be kept up; and the military shall be in strict subordination to the civil power.
Art. I, § 4 (enacted 1851).
