An
implied right in the
United States of America under the
Constitution. Since everyone has already been guarenteed the
right to bear arms, everyone figured it would be alright to keep
armed bears.
The right, much like the right to bear arms, comes from America's
history. Back in the days when the United States was just a bunch of
colonies and had to fight for its
independance, a bunch of the colonists decided that arming the local
bears would give them a
tactical advantage over the
British. Thus, the tradition of arming bears was
born.
