quote from link;
The Court used Section 1 of the Fourteen Amendment to justify their argument, which reads:
Amendment XIV
Section 1.
"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
By using the Constitution in such a manner, the Court argues that the Due Process Clause extends certain personal choices central to individual dignity and autonomy accepted in a majority of states across the state lines of a handful of states that still banned the practice.
The vast majority of states are shall issue on the matter of issuing concealed carry permits, and enjoy reciprocity with a large number of other states.

(48,181 posts)The "right to bear" is a phrase that means openly carry, and always has meant that. Regulation of concealed carry has been and is the rule. There is no right to carry a concealed weapon.

(19,497 posts)Perhaps open carry is just the most common sense, right thing to do. Looking forward to display the right in all 50 states and perhaps US territories.

im surprised the 14th was cited in influencing the decision for marriage equality. i figured it would have been the 9th or 10th.
my bad two separate thoughts occurring at the same time.
