2nd Amendment; "keep" also means "bear"?
Find answers to your legal question.

Since the recent SCOTUS ruling affirming an individual's right to "keep" a gun in the house, is there any escaping the obvious conclusion that to "bear" outside the home will be next to be affirmed and can safely be assumed now?

What about all the now obsolete State laws prohibiting same? They are for sure half invalid now and the other half is inevitable, since 'keep' and 'bear' operate as a unit in the 2nd Amendment.

I make no claim about the "universal" right for anyone to bear anything. Far from it. I'm talking about ordinary folks with ordinary pistols in ordinary belt holsters in States like California and many others where this is against State law.

These laws no longer comport with the Federal Constitution. I realize that's not what the case said but The Court only answers the question it is asked and narrowly. Its answer in this case makes it clear that since one can "keep" it's just a matter of time before someone makes them say also "bear".

And how are the cops handling this significant change in the situation?

It would be a nice quiet place to live if EVERY one were armed. No one would DARE be rude, be a criminal or be a corrupt politician...

"2nd Amendment; "keep" also means "bear"?"
NO. If it did the Founders would not repeat themselves. The 'obsolete' laws need cleaning up, but this usually requires legislative action to start.

This is Law - never assume anything.
