Until SCOTUS actually takes up these cases, this ruling only applies to the DC area.
All this does is overturn the DC law. No effect anywhere else on other laws.
But there is likely to be granted a "stay" inevitably requested by the DC government goons, pending the inevitable appeal.
That means that even though a court has ruled otherwise, DC cops will toss people in jail for having handguns in their homes, and DC courts will happily sentence them to prison.

I remember the comPost's Carl Rowen didn't get charged for shooting at a couple of teenagers dipping in his hot tub.
