Are you allowed to carry a gun around with you in the streets of the US?
No. In most states, you must have a permit. A few states allow open carry without a permit, and Alaska and Vermont allow concealed carry without a permit. There are a couple of states, and the District of Columbia, that don't issue permits. Even in states that do issue gun permits, there are places in that you cannot carry legally, such as court houses, schools, and a few other places, but it varies by state.

US Supreme Court justices don't run for office, they are nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate. Once a justice has been appointed, he or she may serve for life, or until resignation, retirement or impeachment and conviction. In states where supreme court justices are elected, the term of office and number of terms allowed vary. For more information, specify a state.
Were laws that allowed racial segregation in public places?
The laws that allowed segregation were called Jim Crow Laws. They were justified under the doctrine of 'separate but equal.'
What is the only federal court provided for in the constitution?
The Supreme Court of the United States isn't actually specified by name, but by function. Congress could have named the Supreme Court the "United States High Court" if they'd chosen and still been within the letter of the Constitution, as long as the designated court fulfilled all the requirements set forth in Article III and any other Articles, Sections, Clauses or Amendments that might affect its function. (For example, the Eleventh Amendment revoked the US Supreme Court's original jurisdiction over disputes between a state and citizens of another state.)Article III, Section 1"Section 1. The judicial power of the United States, shall be vested in one Supreme Court, and in such inferior courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The judges, both of the supreme and inferior courts, shall hold their offices during good behaviour, and shall, at stated times, receive for their services, a compensation, which shall not be diminished during their continuance in office.""Section 2. The judicial power shall extend to all cases, in law and equity, arising under this Constitution, the laws of the United States, and treaties made, or which shall be made, under their authority;--to all cases affecting ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls;--to all cases of admiralty and maritime jurisdiction;--to controversies to which the United States shall be a party;--to controversies between two or more states;--between a state and citizens of another state;*--between citizens of different states;--between citizens of the same state claiming lands under grants of different states, and between a state, or the citizens thereof, and foreign states, citizens or subjects."In all cases affecting ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, and those in which a state shall be party, the Supreme Court shall have original jurisdiction. In all the other cases before mentioned, the Supreme Court shall have appellate jurisdiction, both as to law and fact, with such exceptions, and under such regulations as the Congress shall make."The trial of all crimes, except in cases of impeachment, shall be by jury; and such trial shall be held in the state where the said crimes shall have been committed; but when not committed within any state, the trial shall be at such place or places as the Congress may by law have directed."Section 3. Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court."The Congress shall have power to declare the punishment of treason, but no attainder of treason shall work corruption of blood, or forfeiture except during the life of the person attainted."Eleventh Amendment*"The judicial power of the United States shall not be construed to extend to any suit in law or equity, commenced or prosecuted against one of the United States by citizens of another state, or by citizens or subjects of any foreign state."
