It is legal to conceal carry in NY though....if you have a problem with concealed carry then the democratic legislature can easily rectify its laws for concealed carry. If you are upset about concealed carry with a permit then the legislature should be attacked for allowing that. All the SC said is you cannot have some abritrary "proper cause" to get a permit. That is silly. If concealed carry with a permit is LEGAL then it is LEGAL. TO then ask applicants to "prove you really need this" is going to far.

FYI, what you’re saying is precisely what is up next. The decision ruled that conceal carry can be prohibited in “sensitive places” but gave no definition or test of what a sensitive place is. Obviously, the Supreme Court will be a “sensitive place” because they don’t want to be around guns but there is no guarantee what a sensitive place will mean going forward.
SC did not question about places being restricted for concealed carry, they just said if you make concealed carry legal with a permit... one of your criteria to issue that right cannot be the arbitrary and cparicious standard of "proper cause" which is vague and ripe for abuse. "I need it for self defense" "Ehh your town is not that unsafe, DENIED"
Thomas wrote the opinion and noted sensitive places, which is a long standing issue, but did not define sensitive places nor provide a test for what a sensitive place is. I totally get you don’t see this as a big deal but in the states with the lowest gun violence it’s an enormous deal. These rulings come in succession, this ruling today succeeded DC Heller. DC Heller overturned the original meaning of 2A that stood since the constitution was written and carved out an individual right to bear arms for personal defense, not in defense of the state*. But the Heller decision only protected exclusively the right own a weapon, not carry one in public. Here we are today now the federal court has further expanded 2A to an individual right to carry in public places that aren’t “sensitive places.” We know the super court will be such a place because they aren’t stupid and don’t want to around guns but what about Target? What about high school football games or public transportation? This is the next shoe to drop. *Interestingly, the original draft of the 2A was changed from nation to state because southern states used their militias for “slave patrols” and didn’t want their militias to be called for service out of state and not have any force available to combat a slave uprising.
Just to cut to the chase.... NY allows concealed carry with a permit... how does this ruling change that if that is still the law in NY?
If NY wants to restrict Concealed carry then thye just need a better written law... proper cause is not a viable hurdle to access a legal right like that...
Ehh.. you’re phrasing it wrong. NY allowed some with need a conceal carry permit. Think handicap placards. This ruling changed a law based on a need to a want.
We will see what the impacted states do. NJ is one so I will be watching closely. Definitely don’t want guns in Target or anywhere else my wife and children go.
Illegal with exceptions for rape and incest. There is a morning after pill. If women refuse to take it or require the man to wear protection, why should innocent babies brought into this world die because of it?
