A rationale (not THE ONLY rationale) for defeat of the "only have the (2A) right inside your house" laws similar to one Chicago had ... is :

If a family member goes outside, picking berries, crops to eat, shopping or whatever and a soldier kidnapped that unarmed family member, they could use that hostage as leverage forcing you to "quarter soldiers" inside your house, therefore the 2A right is not limited to just inside the house, but extends outside so the "property owner/People have the 2A right (of self-defense) outside too..

Thanks, good article

Thus, the right envisioned was not only the right to be armed, but to be armed at a level equal to the government."

Color Coded:

AT THE TIME OF THE WRITING (not later re-interpretations of each male being a militia member)
Soldiers = Militia/Standing Army which was un-trusted, but a NECESSARY evil
People=Property Owners (Only Property owners could vote)

3rd Amendment
written 45 minutes Later with same mental process, affecting the same two parties on opposite sides of the Commas

No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.

======================================================================

2nd Amendment
written 45 minutes earlier with same mental process, affecting the same two parties on opposite sides of the Commas

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

This is what Former Representative Dr S. Hupp from up around Kempner Texas, meant by saying "It was written to protect US from YOU" (Not for hunting)
