If I was a gun-loving SCOTUS justice, I would be really concerned about upholding the very broad open-carry rationale from yesterday's decision. It makes the Second Amendment a suicide pact. I'm sure it was not the intent of the opinion, but it points out the need for SCOTUS to back-track on Heller.
