We need a case that can and will be leveraged across all states. Unfortunately, that would most likely be contesting a law passed by US Congress that negatively impacts our 2nd Amendment rights . . . just guessing.

1) Does the 2A protect a right to bear arms outside the home, and if so:
2) The level of scrutiny for laws infringing this right
