Due to the fact that this case revolves around a non-state, I very much doubt that this is the case that the SCOTUS will use to clear up the 2nd. Correct. It will be a narrowly defined judgement against the DC law, but will not change any of exisiting laws made regarding the 'several states'.
It possibly will have an impact on places like Morton Grove where similar law has been enacted or other jurisdictions that are restrictive.

Ah but you see they can't even rule on whether the DC code violates second amendment rights, until they define who has such rights, and to some degree what they are. That alone would be a huge step, in whichever direction they take.
