thanks much for the interps. My concern is if this opens the door to state and local jurisdictions to limit concealed carry and selling of weapons in their respective areas. Numerous cities are already attempting to limit places where CCW are allowed -- all government buildings and parks, and city streets, etc., etc.
Any thoughts on that?

CCW regs will continue to be Constitutional insofar as they are reasonably related to the protection of a valid state interest (protecting school children, preventing panic in crowded public areas) in regulating where and in what manner an individual might carry a gun outside of his or her property. That does not change.

Where the bar has been significantly raised is with regard to a state or locality's attempt to "balance" its interests with gun ownership rights.
