"So her ruling on "carry" definitions has nothing at all to do with "keeping and bearing arms"?"

Only if you think "carry" is the same as "bear".

Did the Founding Fathers think that? Should we put a modern interpretation on "bear" or should we go with original meaning?

Even in historical usage... any differences are without distinction.

The Founders wanted a BROAD interpretations for Rights protections, not your narrow ones...
