This discussion centers on the matter of the public carry of firearms, the justification for the practice, and whether or not 2A even applies to public carry.

it seems to me that the very democratic process of state after state duly passing concealed carry legislation, I believe the number is 43 states now to be exact, deems the constitutionality of ccw to rest, certainly nobody is claiming that ccw is unconstitutional? I have heard of absolutely no real movement in any of those states for repeal or any other downward reform, no, on the contrary, many states are strengthening their laws..Now does the 2nd apply? as in, is state ccw required to conform constitutionally after a scotus ruling on incorporation? I doubt it...maybe? Who knows? I think the larger question revolves around liberty and liberal interpretation of the entire Constitution. Have states which have incorporated CCW laws experienced any adverse real statistics showing a net negative result from extending this liberty to law abiding people? No? Well then what would the justification for repeal, or any public request or demand for that matter be? From what I have read it has been your feeling of safety which you believe should be considered with enactment of ccw?
