You are absolutely correct. The gun grabbers have put an incredible spin on this opinion. Anyone who reads it can see that.
I encourage all reading this thread to read the actual opinion (it's not long) to see the court's rationale. The Act was struck down ENTIRELY because it allowed local governments (as opposed to the state) to regulate the issuance of concealed weapons permits, in violation of the state constitution which says, "no municipality or county shall regulate, in any way, an incident of the right to keep and bear arms."
In other words, if the law had a preemption clause (as many state CCW laws do), the court would not have struck down the provision for this reason. The important thing to note is, the court DID NOT decide whether Art. II Section 6 of the NM Constitution prohibits the carrying of concealed weapons. That is still an open question.
Bottom line is, the Brady Center For Spreading Lies and Misinformation has simply spun and spun and spun to conform these types of opinions in their favor.
