The 2A gives citizens the absolute right to carry firearms. I believe in that so firmly that I even think felons should be able to carry once they have completed their probation or parole.
Now suppose a state - for whatever reason - allows concealed carry only. I dont see how that violates the 2A. It would be like a state saying you can give a political speech on a public sidewalk if you want. Its a 1A thing. Just dont use a 200 dB megaphone.

So the 2nd amendment is "absolute" -- except when it's not. Got it.
Much like saying the Supremacy clause is absolute -- except when the states disagree. Right!
