It would be interesting to hear from others around this great land (whats left of it) of ours, how their State Constitution reads regarding their Gun Rights.
Here is Oregon's: Section 27. Right to bear arms; military subordinate to civil power. The people shall have the right to bear arms for the defence [sic] of themselves, and the State, but the Military shall be kept in strict subordination to the civil power[.]
From West Virginia's Constitution:
3-22. Right to keep and bear arms.
A person has the right to keep and bear arms for the defense of self, family, home and state, and for lawful hunting and recreational use.

Alabama just passed a new amendment, Nov. of 2014. The constitution was amended to explicitly "provide that every citizen has a fundamental right to bear arms and that any restriction on this right would be subject to strict scrutiny." Additionally, the amendment "provide[d] that no international treaty or law shall prohibit, limit or otherwise interfere with a citizen's fundamental right to bear arms."
Alabama went from a "shall issue" CCP to a "must issue" CCP or provide the petitioner a valid reason not to issue.
Also in 2013, Alabama allows "open carry" with some restrictions. You must be a legal gun owner, must be locked in a box our of reach or have a CCP license. You cannot be charged with disorderly conduct for carrying on public property.
Wisconsin Constitution, Article 1, Sections 25 and 26:
Right to keep and bear arms. SECTION 25. [As created
Nov. 1998] The people have the right to keep and bear arms for
security, defense, hunting, recreation or any other lawful purpose.
[1995 J.R. 27, 1997 J.R. 21, vote November 1998]
Right to fish, hunt, trap, and take game. SECTION 26.
[As created April 2003] The people have the right to fish, hunt,
trap, and take game subject only to reasonable restrictions as
prescribed by law. [2001 J.R. 16, 2003 J.R. 8, vote April 2003]
