So what's this have to do with the second ammendment? Yes, I know that
it's the title of the article, but as near as I can tell, the judges
decision is not based on the 2nd ammendment, and the plaintiff's case
did not cite the 2nd amendment.

The judge didn't overturn any regulations on constitutional grounds, he
just ruled that under the existing regulations the captain should be
issued a concealed carry permit. (BTW, it sounds like a reasonable
decision to me.)

If it was a 2nd amendment case, it would really be news. The body of
case law involving the 2nd amendment is very thin. In particular, I'm
unaware of any law that's been invalidated on Second amendment grounds
in modern times (i.e. post 1900) .
