I’ll read it when I get a few moments, but seeing your other post where you quote the historical perspective (being concealed carry was not protected under the constitution if I read it right) doesn’t that weaken the argument for concealed carry as a part of the 2A? I know I need to read the opinion before forming one of my own, but the 2A should be to any possession, concealed or not, regardless of others’ opinion of the visibility. Anyway, this is the last ill post here until I read it.

It was a good read, thanks again. The overarching point referenced about how concealed carry is separate and distinct from open carry in the 2A, and concealed carry can be regulated by states as “…absolutely necessary to counteract a vicious state of society…and to prevent…assassinations committed upon an unsuspecting persons.” I see as wrong, and falls back on the test of regulation of rights by future judges and societal benefits. “Manly defense” of open carry is true, but so is the defensive value of concealed carry and not knowing if the person next to you is armed with the leveler or not. But I am glad for McDaniels.
