CA: next Second Amendment Battleground

Court challenges to California's restrictions on licensed concealed carry could be the next issue to get to the U.S. Supreme Court.  Let's hope so as the Court needs to make it clear that the word "bear" in the Second Amendment means "carry."  I am not an absolutist on any constitutional right. Not everyone  (e.g., convicted felons, inmates, mentally ill, juveniles, etc) are entitled to full Second Amendment rights. (see post below on related story)
