Alas, this celebration will last no longer than the denial about the meaning of the Supreme Court’s decision in District of Columbia v. Heller [PDF file]. Heller confirmed that most licensing regimes regulating the carrying of handguns are not unconstitutional – but it also signaled the end of hyper-restrictive laws in the minority of holdout states which print handgun carry licenses on paper made of unobtainium.”

If this is the case , why the hell has no one in the People’s Republic of New Jersey challenged the states “may” clause which in effect means “ won’t” issue a concealed weapons permit . I know people who work in gun shops that couldn’t get a concealed permit and were told if you have a problem call a cop .

Justice Scalia was crystal clear in the Heller decision. Concealed carry can be banned, and open carry can be banned. Both cannot be banned.
