It would mean the same as it means for the 1st Amendment, which has been incorporated against the states. Take freedom of speech, for example. A state or municipal government may not arrest, fine or in any other way harass you for speaking out against it.

It doesn't specify how one may bear arms, so if you want to carry open or concealed, that's your decision. It also doesn't specify what type of arms people may own or limit them in any way. Therefore, any stock, lug, or any other feature is fine.

Yeah, it would. That's precisely why it hasn't been done. (Well, technically it
has been done by the 9th Circuit Court, but that's the most overturned court in the nation. Until the SCOTUS upholds incorporation, it won't really apply.)
