My apologies; SCOTUS was not unanimous in its ruling; it was unanimous in Heller in that all of the concurring judges, and all of the dissenting judges, agreed on one point: concealed carry is NOT the right protected by the Second Amendment.
Nowhere did SCOTUS find the bolded to be correct. CCW was outside the narrow scope of the Heller case.

Nor did they "Rule" that OC was a protected right. Otherwise all the OC bans, like the Mulford Act would have been stricken in 2008, and we wouldn't be having this discussion.

They mentioned in dicta, that restrictions on CCW, along with restrictions for felons-crazies, and possession in "sensitive places".

Were "presumptively legal".

Which is not the same as "ruling them to be", "not the protected right". And also "leaves the door open" to further CCW restrictions challenges. Wherein SCOTUS may/can rule on CCW as a protected right.

Rather like Crapofornia's Roster of SAFE handguns. Doesn't make the claim that off roster guns are "unsafe".
