>> does the right to “bear” mean the right to carry?

I dunnow; it looks pretty confusing to me. /s

Definitions of "bear" on the Web:

* move while holding up or supporting; "Bear gifts"; "bear a heavy load"; "bear news"; "bearing orders"

* wear: have on one's person; "He wore a red ribbon"; "bear a scar"

* have rightfully; of rights, titles, and offices; "She bears the title of Duchess"; "He held the governorship for almost a decade"

It took the Supreme Court 220 years to declare that the “right to keep” included the right to own ... they haven’t caught up on the definition of “bear” yet.
