From Reason.com: The Three Most Important Ongoing Second Amendment Cases
http://reason.com/archives/2013/12/04/the-three-most-important-ongoing-second/print (http://reason.com/archives/2013/12/04/the-three-most-important-ongoing-second/print)
The above link is to the "print" single-page version of the article.
Those interested in right-to-carry laws and cases challenging such (such as the local Baker v. Kealoha) will probably find the language from the second case described (Drake v. Filko), familiar:
The Third Circuit decision by Judge Ruggero Aldisert declares baldly that “the requirement that applicants demonstrate a ‘justifiable need’ to publicly carry a handgun for self-defense qualifies as a ‘presumptively lawful,’ ‘longstanding’ regulation and therefore does not burden conduct within the scope of the Second Amendment’s guarantee.”
The author of the article, like many of us, is perplexed and puzzled by the various courts' reasoning, logic, and assumptions, and their lack of any significant evidence to substantiate the "public safety" claim of the government entities holding and enforcing prohibitions on citizens being allowed freedom of choice re self-defense methods.
