it sounds like it goes much farther than just the New York rule. It says individuals have a constitutional right to self defense with a gun outside the home.

Could be, can't wait for the scholars to comment on it. This is pretty much just breaking.

I wonder if I can carry in NJ with my PA permit and residency?

Somebody remarks at SCOTUSBlog, “NY will go the DC route and try to make it so onerous it will take a few more losses in court to come to a reasonable and lawful solution... DC lost a couple of other times in lower courts post-Heller trying to make it as hard as possible, I believe.”

I think that’s accurate. This ruling doesn’t do much, as a practical matter. It leaves the state free to erect fairly onerous licensing procedures. use your imagination about what the requirements could be ...

- background check by FBI, paid by applicant
- waiting period 3, 6, 18 months ... where’s THAT line?
- fees. $500, $1,000, $30, where is THAT line?
- firearm limitations. .22 caliber only

Make the public litigate every single point. SOTUS will let the lower court rulings stand, even if they are opposed to this case. SCOTUS has a practice of that in RKBA cases. Looks good on paper.

I read the entire opinion. It’s clear, unambiguous and broad in scope. Thomas refers to Heller and McDonnell and its established legal tests. This is huge. It will take years to change anything but it’s a great foundation for saving 2A.
