Justices Weigh Challenge to Open-Carry Ban

[TeddyR]

11. The 9th Circuit ruling today is interesting

Since it oks laws banning concealed carry but indicates open carry might be constitutional. Of course, some will argue that Heller is limited to self-defense in the home and that states can ban any kind of carry. That seems very questionable to me.

On edit, I really dislike these "good cause" laws. They are basically a means for denying the right to carry at all, dressed up as leaving the issue in the hands of the local law enforcement. That type of system is ripe for abuse. I wonder what gun control advocates would think of such a licensing scheme if it was proven that the local decision-maker was denying applications based on race?
