I hope this isn't a repost, but its certainly not good news either. What I find somewhat troubling is that 2 of the 3 appointees were under Regan and GW Bush appointees. I did not anticipate that outcome.

WSJ.com said:In a decision likely to hearten backers of gun-control measures, a federal appeals court in Denver said Friday that carrying concealed firearms isn't protected by the Second Amendment.
In its ruling, the three-judge panel referred to longstanding restrictions on individuals' ability to carry concealed weapons.
"In light of our nation's extensive practice of restricting citizens' freedom to carry firearms in a concealed manner, we hold that this activity does not fall within the scope of the Second Amendment's protections," wrote Judge Carlos Lucero, a Bill Clinton appointee, for the unanimous panel, which also included Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush appointees.
