Had a mildly ironic thought: If open carry activists contributed to the the open carry ban then they had a hand in this decision as well, because the court found that the fact that open carry is banned means that the State's preferred method of satisfying the right, licensed concealed carry, cannot be denied for self defense (absent prohibiting factors).
I am also observing that it is the overreach of anti-gun zealots (banning unloaded open carry, for example) that is once again their downfall. True believers are so convinced of their correctness that, in their mind, no restriction on 2A rights could possibly go too far. Until it does!
