The 9th upholds individual rights?

NO

Someone re-read this and confirm my interpretation!

They said it applies to the states - but I thought the only thing with rights were individuals?

Oh, it is even better than you think.

The 9th incorporated the 2A against the states, and then pointed out that this squarely overturned Hickman which was a decision that said individuals did not have standing to challenge Kali's may-issue concealed weapons law.

So, in short order we can expect to see a case challenging may-issue. And, since the challenge will be against the backdrop of an individual-rights 2A, there will be heightened scrutiny of whether its preserves everyone's rights.

Shall-issue may come to Kali in my lifetime.

The 9th Circuit ruled AGAINST the gunowners. In the process it redefined the 2nd Amendment, limiting it to defense within the home. From the opinion:
"To summarize: the Ordinance does not meaningfully impede the ability of individuals to defend themselves in their homes with usable firearms, the core of the right as Heller analyzed it."

Not good.
