There's no way they're going to rule that "keep" means keep in a state armory, or that "bear" does not mean concealed carry, or that "arms" do not include handguns.

What if they did? I'm not in the National Guard, so right now my right to keep my arms enjoys no 2A protection (except the pointed stick). My FL concealed weapons permit enjoys no 2A protection right now. In DC, they can't have a handgun, and the Brady Bunch say that's just fine, and represents the prevailing interpretation of the 2A.

"What if they did?"

Asked and answered, what, 6 times already? If you consider no immediate effect = no effect, then, sure, who cares?

But in 1982, the 7th Circuit ruled that "arms" do not include handguns, and now the cities of Chicago, Morton Grove, Oak Park, Evanston and Wilmette have used that to ban handgun ownership. Not "disassembled", not "with a trigger lock", not "room-to-room". A total ban.

Recently, a homeowner in Wilmette had a handgun, used it to shoot a burglar, and the homeowner was arrested.

What if they did, indeed.
