I just took a look at the SCOTUS wiki regarding McDonald v. Chicago. I didn't realise that the issue was so limited.



Issue: Whether the Second Amendment is incorporated into the Due Process Clause or the Privileges or Immunities Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment so as to be applicable to the States, thereby invalidating ordinances prohibiting possession of handguns in the home.

I was under the impression that the decision would apply to CC and OC as well as just possessing a handgun in the home. Maybe I'm not understanding this correctly. Any lawyers here that can set me straight?
