For those who bother to read beyond the questions presented, the Rogers' petition argues not only for concealed carry but argues that states can ban Open Carry in favor of concealed carry, and cites that as a holding of the Heller court saying, "Indeed, when these state laws restricted both forms of carrying, they were struck down. In a case that Heller described as “perfectly captur[ing]” the correct approach to the Second Amendment, 554 U.S. at 612, the Georgia Supreme
Court invalidated such a law as “in conflict with the Constitution, and void.” Nunn v. State, 1 Ga. 243, 251 (1846)" Rogers' cert petition at 26.
Contrary to what the cert petition argues, prohibitions on concealed carry were not upheld because Open Carry was legal. Here is what the Nunn decision said about concealed carry, ""The question recurs, does the act "to suppress the evil practice of carrying weapons secretly," trench upon the constitutional rights of the citizen?
We think not." The Heller decision then cited State v. Chandler which "Likewise" held that concealed carry is not a right, "Likewise, in State v. Chandler, 5 La. Ann. 489, 490 (1850), the Louisiana Supreme Court held that citizens had a right to carry arms openly: "This is the right guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States, and which is calculated to incite men to a manly and noble defence of themselves, if necessary, and of their country, without any tendency to secret advantages and unmanly assassinations.""
Note that prohibitions on concealed carry being constitutional appears first in Heller's non-exhaustive list of permissible regulations in Section III of the decision, before prohibitions on felons and the mentally ill from possessing firearms.
As I said, cert denied.
