the court is also being asked to examine whether the Second Amendment right to defend yourself in your own home

I can't seem to find the "keep and bear arms only in your own home" clause.

It's right there behind the one that says a citizen may only own weapons that are "commonly" used by "militias".

The “only in your house” clause is four lines down and 18 degrees west from the third penumbra on the left.

yes, only in your own home is not there.

people wore their arms with them, at home, or when travelling, when that amendment was written. i think that clearly provides proper context. the right to self defense follows wherever the self is at the moment.
