As far as I know you CANNOT get a permit to carry in NY State PERIOD. (And by ‘carry’ I mean to carry on your person as a general thing versus carry to the gun range or some such rubbish.
The same was true in all of the densely-populated counties in CA right up until this morning, and it will still be true for as long as politicians can stall.

1. Did the court give San Diego a deadline to conform?
2. Sooner or later this is going to lead to the issue of how non-residents can carry. Any thoughts on that?

i've had a CCW for 38 years... That has not generally been true. The way it always had been was that a person not prohibited could obtain a premises permit. To obtain a concealed carry permit required another permit granted by a judge. It was a bit more difficult, but not forbidden.
I know in MA they essentially have a two tired system, one lets you carry anywhere allowed by law, the other home or business you own and at a range, but must be transported unloaded in a locked box in you car, etc. What you get all depends on what the local Police Chief thinks about citizens carrying. I have heard NY is similar.
“As far as I know you CANNOT get a permit to carry in NY State PERIOD. “
You can. In upstate NY it’s doable. In NYC impossible, unless you’re well-connected.
That doesn't mean I will obey the law. Screw them.
