>>city officials say the brothers’ action may lead to restrictions on carrying weapons on public property within city limits<<

OK, so they arrest the boys on charges,
and it goes up the appeals process,
and the USSC rules that “keep and BEAR” means no restrictions on individuals BEARING their arms.

The boys are protected by their state constitution. If the second amendment protected open carry, all states would have to allow it, correct?

A federal court would not hear this case. The second amendment protects against federal infringement, not state infringement.

There are statist/communitarian's here who claim the boys are only protected by their state constitution, - thus, - the USSC will not hear this case because the second amendment protects only against a federal infringement, not state infringement. -
- They also claim that if the second amendment protected open or concealed carry, all states would have to allow the right to bear arms. -- As if this were a bad thing.

Majority rule communitarians sure have some odd ideas about our Law of the Land, agreed?
