A question that needs to be asked and answered is, by the terms of the Second Amendment an individual has the right to bear arms. Then why does a person need a conceal carry permit to be able to carry a weapon concealed?

The decision cites precedent finding that this is permissible. You can still "keep and bear" under a concealed prohibition (they say.)

Oh wait she doesn't need a permit... hmmm ;-)

Then why does a person need a conceal carry permit to be able to carry a weapon concealed?That's actually a real debate in the pro-permit community. We wondered if by advocating passage of shall-issue permit laws, we were tacitly acknowledging that other infringements of the 2nd Amendment were OK (i.e., a permit was Constitutionally needed to carry). Most came down on the side that under existing conditions, asserting the Constitutional right in the face of infringing laws would be expensive and risky (given the courts), so getting shall-issue laws passed was a good thing, but we'd keep up with the fight on the Constitutional side as well.

There is a pervasive historical acceptance of the notion of forbidding or licensing concealed carry - on the grounds that anyone not carrying openly must be up to no good (ergo, there is pervasive historical acceptance of the notion that open carry is hunky-dory).

Then why does a person need a conceal carry permit to be able to carry a weapon concealed? So that the government can know who all the gun owners are.
Silly question.

Exactly. We scored a win on the "keep" now what about the "bear"? This is the underlying reason why some gunnies refuse to get the permits and carry openly instead.
