True...
But once incorporation happens (and it will, give it time), the argument will be made that, since the clearest definition of "bear" that the court supplied is "Wear, bear or carry upon the person or in the clothing or in a pocket, for the purpose of being armed and ready for offensive or defensive action in a case of conflict with another person." states must go "shall issue" with CCW licenses, or allow loaded open carry. While a CCW permit may not be unconstitutional on its face, a good cause requirement probably is.
