Concealed Carry of handguns imminent?

Very likely by Thanksgiving.
Last May I reported on the Peruta v San Diego case where Chief Federal Judge Irma Gonzalez denied a motion by the Sheriff to dismiss the case. The following is an excerpt from the article:
In denying the motion to dismiss, the Court found on the question:
1) The Right to Bear Arms - "The Supreme Court's decision in Heller made it clear - for the first time - that the Second Amendment guarantees "the individual right to possess and carry weapons in case of confrontation." "The US Supreme Court did not hold that all concealed weapon bans are presumptively constitutional because in those states which had enacted a ban on concealed carry the people had a right to openly carry loaded handguns and "...unlike California there is a ready alternative available to the affected individuals - the right to carry weapons openly if they cannot obtain a concealed weapon's permit."
