As the case only addressed simple unlocked possession in one's home, carry is not addressed. That may require a separate case.

Haven't read the verdict yet. Will have better commentary later.

True, though given the dicta, it sure sounds like these judges would come down the way on at least open-carry, if not concealed carry too. You can't very well say that the 2nd Amendment protects the right to defend oneself with a gun, and then invent a provision that it only applies inside one's own home. Historically, the right obviously applied outside one's home as well, just like all the other rights guaranteed by the Bill of Rights.
