Did the SCOTUS Ruling open the door for national concealed carry?

Sgt Aaron Kennedy, MS, I think drivers licenses is actually the perfect example for pushing it as a 14a issue. The majority of the states have it as a "shall issue" license (making it a right or at least a privilege on par with a Drivers License) and there is a minority number of states that don't.

TSgt Joshua Copeland Yes, "but" DL's are still a privilege and defined as such. A state doesn't have to issue a DL. They can restrict it based on a wide variety of factors including eyesight.

If a blind guy came into my gun-shop and wanted to buy a gun... As long as he could fill out the paperwork, the law can't stop him from buying.

I believe this is more a Article 4 (Acknowledge public acts between states) issue than a 14a issue (Equal Protection).

That is true, I think a good lawyer would attack it from every possible angle and this one just strengths the case.

I think it also has to be noted that the court has upheld the governments right to restrict the right to bear arms. And that right is both a Federal right and a state right. Where in the recent case the court ruled marriage was a fundamental right and the state could not restrict it based on the sex of the applicants.

Ever since my junior(?) year in college a pre-law student friend of mine with whom I took a 1st amendment class delighted in telling me the SCOTUS had never 'incorporated the 2nd against any state through the 14th'. I never really understood why it would be necessary, the language seems pretty simple to me, but hey I'll take more robust and explicit protections of rights any day.
