To clarify what I said above:

What the appeals court has said is that one mode of carry (open carry or conceal carry) is constitutionally protected and cannot be regulated; lower court decide which one.
Both modes were well known to those who wrote our Second Amendment.
Absent any specification of mode of carry, the phrase, "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed" applies to BOTH modes of carry. Most specifically, it applies regardless of one's mode of carry.
Limiting carry to open carry is an infringement.
Limiting carry to concealed carry is an infringement.
When are people going to wake up and realize that
nearly all laws -- written, case, or precedent -- dealing with who, what, where, why, and how people can keep and bear arms are
infringements on the right of the people to keep and bear arms?
Even out Founding Fathers wanted some laws, but very wisely, they realized that any such laws would lead to a slippery slope, so they banned ALL laws involving firearms. But the overcontrolling bastards who fail to understand the concept of freedom had begun penning one gun control law after another, long before we even declared our Independence, and they're still doing it today, both in the legislatures as well as the courts.
The only way We the People will ever be free from their arrogantly stupid ignorance is to tell them all they can go to hell and back it up by force, if necessary.
Thankfully, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals partial panel ruling is a step in the right directly. Sadly, it will most likely soon be overturned by a full panel.
