Well, consider that many states have restrictions on the infringement (read “regulate”) or abridgement.

I'm VERY well aware of that and that's why I'm not for any permit/license to carry.....those are definitely infringements! I don't know where you got the idea that I support anything but Constitutional Carry like VT has.

Ah, you misunderstood; my point was on that the States often have such prohibitions that [should] make it even harder to justify their “prohibited places” and often any licensing.
IOW, I was trying to point out that it is NOT just a Federal-level Constitutional issue, but one that involves the States’s own Constitutions themselves.

It is very likely that people of a State could bring a suit against that State for violating the 14th Amendment which forbids State abridgment of due process, since the States’s own Constitutions prohibit them from enacting such licensing and yet the States have passed such statutes. IMO, Instead of attacking only on the basis of the 2nd Amendment we should also be on the lookout for other avenues of approach; our enemy is none other the most lawless branch in America: the Judiciary.
