I read the applicable code that is struck down. The Court struck down the code against carrying in public.

The court also struck down the code against registering a handgun for carry outside the home.

There is an exception in the code for carrying a handgun through the District for a valid recreational purpose, without registering the handgun.

I think it would be hard to argue that you could carry an unloaded handgun without registration through the district for recreation, but not carry a loaded one for Constitutionally protected self defense.

No doubt people will immediately be applying to register handguns for carry for self defense.

It is close to Constitutional carry, but there are ambiguities.
