I need help understanding these from you legal gurus. Am I understanding correctly that Heller gave the individual the right to carry a firearm for self protection, a state can regulate concealed carry or even ban it only if open carry is an option? or vise versus? If this is true and sense currently open carry is illegal in Texas, wouldn't it be unconstitutional to license concealed carry because not every one can afford a license?
With Nordyke they are trying to incorporate the Second Amendment? Which means the states have to abide by the intentions of the US BOR 2A if their constitution is in violation of it given the Heller case?
I'm still trying to learn all this stuff but man it makes my head hurt.
I've searched through the forums and found a little info on these 2 cases I felt it may benifit everyone to place this in one place.
