Nunn v. State, 1 Ga. (1 Kel.) 243 (1846) is a Georgia Supreme Court ruling that a state law ban on handguns was an unconstitutional violation of the Second Amendment. This was the first gun control measure to be overturned on Second Amendment grounds.

Background
In 1837, Georgia passed a law banning the sale and carry of certain types of weapons included Bowie and other types of knives, and pistols.   Hawkins H. Nunn was charged and convicted for carrying a pistol in violation of the law.  He appealed the ruling, claiming the state law was a violation of the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution.  He did not make a claim under the Georgia constitution because Georgia, unlike many other states, did not have a similar protection of the right to bear arms within its constitution.

Ruling
The Nunn court ruled that while the legislature could prohibit the concealed carry of weapons, it could not prohibit the open carry of weapons.  To do so would be a violation of the Second Amendment right to carry weapons for self-defense.  As there was no proof that Nunn had been carrying his pistol concealed, the conviction was overturned.

Legal analysis
The court relied on guidance from other state decisions and general theories of rights to explain its decision.

Other state courts
The Nunn court referenced Bliss v. Commonwealth, 12 Ky. (2 Litt.) 90, 13 Am. Dec. 251 (1822
, this change was to be expressed in the sexual revolution. Additionally, in 1966 Masters and Johnson would print the inaugural of two texts cataloguing their probe into the physiology of sexual activity, breaking taboos and misapprehensions alike to those Kinsey had confronted more than a decade sooner in a closely related playing field.
