Nowhere in Heller did the SCOTUS rule that the RKBA stops at the front door; they simply did not rule specifically that the RKBA does NOT stop at the front door.
Correct. The Court responded to the question at hand, which was that of keeping and carrying guns in the home. They held that "bear" meant "carry," and that the scope of the right was the most "acute" in the home. Nowhere did Scalia say it was limited to the home, however.

In fact, he made a point of mentioning the carrying of guns in "sensitive places," and as much as I disdain that part, the limitation wouldn't have been mentioned otherwise.
