"We've gotten them to pass concealed carry, castle doctrine, and stand your ground laws."

I'm jealous. And if they're solid, you're golden.

But if they're not, if they waver, if Sarah Brady and her clowns can cause doubt by saying, "You passed those laws because you thought "to bear arms" in the Florida State Constitution included concealed carry and now the highest court in the land says you were wrong to assume that and maybe you should re-think this whole issue", then you're in deep do-do.

Invalid premise. Just because they passed a CWP law does not mean that they think it was a protected right, it just means that they think it is permissible and does not conflict with the protected right.

And if they're solid, you're golden.

Solid enough for me, I guess. I don't mind relying on the legislature for things like concealed carry, which I see as outside the 2A anyway. But if they DID do something which I thought infringed on my right to keep and bear arms, and state courts decided I was wrong, it would be nice to be able to go to federal court and assert my 2A rights, something I can't do now, unless they take away my pointed stick.
