“`Police power is the power inherent in a government to enact laws, within constitutional limits, to protect the order, safety, health, morals and general welfare of society.' (12 C.J. 904.) It is a well-recognized function of the legislature in the exercise of the police power to restrain dangerous practices ( id. 916) and to regulate the carrying and use of firearms and other weapons in the interest of the public safety ( id. 917). *Page 307”
