Op-Ed: Did the Supreme Court tip its hand on the blockbuster gun case it's hearing Wednesday?

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

61% : To gun rights activists, the answer is an obvious no because all law-abiding citizens should have the right to carry a gun in public, regardless of whether they have a special need.
59% : The record indicates just one thing: The court rewrote the question presented, limiting it to ask "whether the State's denial of petitioners' applications for concealed-carry licenses for self-defense violated the Second Amendment."
57% : In challenging this law, the original cert petition presented this question: "Whether the Second Amendment allows the government to prohibit ordinary law-abiding citizens from carrying handguns outside the home for self-defense."
48% : A fact-sensitive, centrist ruling on gun rights would go far toward bolstering its public legitimacy.
