So what some of you folks think it means is that the 2nd admendment gives you the right to carry a concealed weapon with no government regulation.

There's more to the 2A than concealed weapons. The anti's want to eventually ban all firearms of all kinds.
So far as "no government interference", just like the first amendment is regulated to make for reasonable safety for the people, so must be the second. In the case of The First, it might mean no shouting "Fire!" in a crowded theatre. In the Second, it might mean restrictions on RPGs and similar weapons. On the opposite end, banning items like "handguns" or "assault rifles" is the equivalent of prohibiting free exercise of religion or shutting down newspapers that oppose government policy.
In short, there are limits... on both ends.
