How about Maine's State Constitution?
Reader comment on: Clue for the Court?

Of course, the state and federal constittions are not the same document, but Maine's would be hard to misinterpret with respect to possession of arms: "Section 16. To keep and bear arms. Every citizen has a right to keep and bear arms and this right shall never be questioned."
Maybe the Supreme Sourt ought to take that for a "clue."
