If the Fifth District ruled in favor of the RKBA, why is Mr. Emerson still in prison?

They ruled that there is an individual Right, while the 9th ruled there is not.

The 5th went on to say that although there is an individual Right, it can be restricted. They got it half right.

How the SC settles the issue will likely be a watershed event in how the future unfolds.

How much difference is there between saying "There is no Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms" and "There is a Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms only in the circumstances where the government chooses to allow it"? They seem about the same to me.
