Bruen, affirms that the Second Amendment extends to carrying firearms outside of ones home, writing Nothing in the Second Amendment’s text draws a home/public distinction with respect to the right to keep and bear arms, and the definition of bear naturally encompasses public carry. Moreover, the Second Amendment guarantees an individual right to possess and carry weapons in case of confrontation , and confrontation can surely take place outside the home. .
