In which case I'd say that yes, this law is unconstitutional as it pretty much bars any guns from being carried when combined with what you quoted. States cannot completely ban or make it prohibitively hard to be able to exercise a persons right to bear arms.
Agreed, however, we shall see if that standard stands the test of time when the current slab of cases make their way to the SCOTUS, and if Obama or Clinton are the ones that make the appointment to fill the seat vacated by Scalia.
I read on here, I can't remember who wrote it, a proposal that sounded great to me - Have Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg retire, so we go back to basically a balanced court with Justice Anthony Kennedy in the middle as a swing vote. No reason we can't have 7 versus 9.
