Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"The licensing authorities of any city or town shall, upon application of any person twenty-one (21) years of age or over having a bona fide residence or place of business within the city or town, or of any person twenty-one (21) years of age or over having a bona fide residence within the United States and a license or permit to carry a pistol or-revolver concealed upon his or her person issued by the, authorities of any other state or subdivision of the United States, issue a license or permit to the person to carry concealed upon his or . her person a pistol or revolver everywhere within this state for four (4) years from date of issue, if .it appears that the applicant has good reason to fear an injury to his or her person or property or has any other proper reason for carrying a pistol or revolver, and that he or she is a suitable person to be so licensed"’ Section 11-47-11(a).”
1 later decision quote this exact passage““he would have been burdened with persuading us of the weakness of what is apparently the prevailing view, viz., that a constitutional guarantee to keep and bear arms is not infringed upon by legislation which, in broad terms, forbids the unlicensed carrying of a pistol or revolver upon one’s person excepting only in his home and place of business or upon his land.” Storms, 112 R.I. at 123 , 308 A.2d at 464 (citing Burton v. Sills, 53 N.J. 86 , 248 A.2d 521 (1968) and Matthews v. State, 237 Ind. 677 , 148 N.E.2d 334 (1958)).”
