The ruling ignored certain aspects of the case, and pretty much stood on the foundation of “In light of our nation’s extensive practice of restricting citizens’ freedom to carry firearms in a concealed manner, we hold that this activity does not fall within the scope of the Second Amendment’s protections.” It's also in direct conflict with the 7th Circuit's ruling in Heller v. McDonald.

If the courts have already ruled that the 2nd is an individual right, then it's automatically a right reserved to the people, not the states. If the right to "keep AND bear" arms is a right, then the only logical way to say it doesn't cover concealed carry is to admit that it DOES cover open carry. That is unless someone can come up with a way to bear arms that is neither open nor concealed. :)

That is just re-damn-diculous.
bear (v.) transitive verb
1 a : to move while holding up and supporting (something)
b : to be equipped or furnished with (something)

The Calicommies are migrating east. I truly feel sorry for the native Coloradans.

Kerry was right, but he was talking about his Fellow Travelers. Active stupid.

District of Columbia vs. Heller was not a 7th Circuit case.

Chicago vs. McDonald was in the 7th Circuit.
