And the supreme court specifically called out in their rulings that they did not imply that it was a constitutional right to carry a concealed weapon.

That also doesn't mean it should be illegal... we've seen immense decrease in violent crimes over the past two decades -- we've also seen a dramatic shift in state laws allowing the right for people to conceal carry.

Correlation != causation and such, but science and numbers matter... They are really interesting when you review them.

I believe the question of legality when carrying a concealed weapon is an all different matter.

The reason you cannot make ilegal is that some people (read NRA loonies) keep trying to make look as carrying a concealed weapon is a constitutional right granted by the 2nd amendment. When it's clearly not.
