He is. Ginsberg's clarification in the aforementioned case was cited in the Parker/Heller decision. Basically, they found that the differences in "carry" and "bear" were contextual and insufficient to convict someone as that particular law was written.

In essence, since the guy in question didn't have direct access, the prosecutions case that he was "carrying" it could not be sustained. Further, that since he had no direct access to it, that their trying to spin is "bear" instead didn't work either.
