[668 - Neighbor of the Beast]

Justice Scalia on no less than three occasions noted that the right to concealed carry would not be protected by the Second Amendment.

How in the world does anyone square that with the 2nd Amendment? Is concealed carry not bearing arms? Isn't the right not to be "infringed?"

CharlesWayneCT is correct in post 2 - a requirement that carrying arms be done openly would perhaps be unwise, but it would not be a violation of the second amendment. The second amendment recognizes a right to bear arms, but not necessarily a right to conceal those arms while bearing them.
