 ::::Parker pertains to a local law in the DC.  (The permission for home rule can be rescinded at any time by Congress, but under the present state of affairs, this is strictly a home rule law issue.)  Hence, if SCOTUS rules that the present local law ruling stands, it means that all local laws throughout the land must be kept in accordance with the 2A. everywhere, and incorporation would be de facto.   (According to some POVs, incorporation has already occurred ""virtually"", but because there hasn't been any declarations on the 2A forthcoming from the SCOTUS simply by virtue that no 2A issues requiring a ruling have occurred since 1939, and incorporation of the 'ordered liberty' parts of the Bill of Rights occurred after this, no formal declaration of incorporation has been necessary up to this point.)  On the other hand, if cert is not granted (which we should know by Tuesday, Nov 13, 2007 by reading the current tea leaves by my sources, then it means much the same, but would have to be retested for each municipality.  Either way, it would result in the 2A being recognized as a personal right of the people, consistent with the rest of the Bill of Rights, consistent with incorporation.  On the other hand, if cert is granted and the ruling comes down counter to this, i.e., to permit the infringement of the right of the people to keep and bear arms, then we could be looking at CW II.  Interesting times!  "
