The biggest sticking point and one of the anti judges on the courts (I think a dissenting opinion) was that you could still keep and bear arms on your own property. the courts could take your right away once you left your property.
It troubles me to no end how judges with an agenda try to redefine language. "Keep" obviously means the part I underlined - just having weapons on your property. "Bear" OBVIOUSLY means to take a weapon out into public. Have there been no SCOTUS cases that have defined these words as such? Or are those cases just conveniently ignored?

Federal court: "We're not REALLY infringing"

The ruling by the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals was issued Friday in a case involving Washington state resident Gray Peterson...Peterson claims that being denied a concealed weapons permit because he was not a Colorado resident violated his Second Amendment rights to bear firearms...Colorado recognizes weapons permits issued by other states, but only for states that recognize Colorado permits. Washington state does not recognize Colorado permits.
Ok so at first, this seems like the court is simply saying, "This is a states rights issue, and we're not going to override it." But then they just have to throw in this idiotic reasoning:
In its ruling, the three-judge panel cited a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that "the right of the people to keep and bear arms is not infringed by laws prohibiting the carrying of concealed weapons."
