Given modern constitutional law? It means literally anything you argue it to mean. The constitution is incredibly ill defined and misinterpreted even by legal scholars.

And even if those who wrote it meant for open and concealed carry to be allowed, they were wrong and should be disregarded.

I feel like it's pretty clear, considering the people who wrote it were just in a war with a tyrannical state militia. I'm fine if people want to change the law and amend the constitution. Law should be a living, breathing thing that can be changed. But it should be going through the proper channels to be changed. There needs to be buy-back programs planned in advance as well as clarity in how the laws will be implemented. Doing it this way will only get the people who say "They're coming for our guns" to change to "See, they're doing it now". Especially when asked if she thinks this will stop criminals from carrying, her answer is no. So in their eyes, it looks like all she's doing to trying to get guns away from law-abiding citizens. As an aside, I feel like it's worth noting that Albuquerque has one of the highest rates of fatal shootings by officers in the country. Some may find that good or bad in this situation, depending on which direction they lean.
