“They could say you have to do what a lot of other states have done, which is to basically say you need a permit, but anybody who asks for it, gets the permit.”
A Shall Issue system for NY? That would be a huge step forward. But I’m sure they will make it cost $5,000 and wait 4 years for it to be issued.

I grew up in the big town, and frequently visit relatives.
For someone who has (the dreaded) “Out of Towner” status, the worst aspect of NY’s and especially NYC’s gun laws is the refusal to EITHER issue nonresident permits OR extend reciprocity.
This means that there is no legal way to protect yourself unless you are a resident and have a permit.
Fixing the permit situation will not fix the residency issue. Even Maryland and New Jersey issue (rare) nonresident permits. Massachusetts nonresident permits are expensive but are not particularly hard to get.
I can’t wait for the ruling. It will also affect Maryland and a couple other states.
Hochul is already spreading disinformation about this and how this is why we had the shooting in Buffalo. Instead it was HER state police who interviewed the kid and gave him a clean bill of health to go out and buy guns.
Even if the court rules in favor of owners, the state can still make owning and using a legal labyrinth. Especially after this weekend’s shooting in Buffalo.
New York pledges millions to support Buffalo in wake of mass shooting: Gov. Hochul
No, it was the legislature that put you in danger.
“So you can rest assured that the legislature will move very quickly.”
Putting us in even greater danger...
***New Yorkers legally carrying guns will not make the city safer. ****
Why you were safer on a NYC trolley in 1880 than today.

One would think that Good Guys/Gals/Those yet to decide with a gun could have ended that Buffalo WingNut in seconds.
Mass shooters always go where they know resistance will be lite.
If Good Folks with a gun won’t stop Bad Folks with a gun, why call the Police? They are not First Responders. Only a Mop Up squad.
YOU are the First Responder.
So what if "more people will be carrying guns"? It's the number of bad people carrying guns that should concern them.
OMG!!!! You mean we’ll have to stop trampling on Americans’ constitutional rights???? This is a catastrophe!
The left wants power. Everything else they say or do is window dressing to suit that one end - them monopolizing power in their hands.
They can’t have power if the people retain it...and an armed citizenry is a big impediment to the government having total power.
See my tagline.
The best way to advance gun rights would be for a SC judgment that forbade politicians at all levels, from utilizing armed security if they deny it to their constituents.
Which would STILL be an infringement on the 2nd Amendment.
The left don’t want good guys to carry guns. The criminal underclass is the left’s constituency. Whether you are a criminal, or it is your son, your brother, your cousin, you don’t want them to be shot dead in the streets while committing their crimes.
