You are misreading. Court strongly implies 2nd Amend does not give right to concealed carry.
"Like most rights, the right secured by the Second
Amendment is not unlimited. From Blackstone through
the 19th-century cases, commentators and courts routinely
explained that the right was not a right to keep and
carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever
and for whatever purpose.
For example, the majority of the 19th-century courts to consider the
question held that prohibitions on carrying concealed
weapons were lawful under the Second Amendment or
state analogues."

It is going to be very interesting on how this filters out. California's arbitrary and caprecious concealed carry law is now in the sights of a constitutional challege. Bring it on!
