Legal Question in Constitutional Law in Illinois

2nd amendment

does the fact that the recent us sc decision (District of Columbia v. Heller) originated in dc have any limiting impact on applying argument to other jurisdictions......ie state/county/city level. i seem to believe the scope may be narrowed, SOMEWHAT, based on fact that original case came out of district/columbia; as opposed to originating @ city/county/state level.
