Did not read it thoroughly but it was written by Thomas and ruled against New York.

Today is Thomas's birthday (and mine too!). Nice birthday present!

Preliminary reports seem to suggest it is text history and tradition... Rejecting the two step approach that lower courts have been using.

So better than strict scrutiny. Opening the door to challenging everything New York has done.

Nationwide shall issue at least. Even in NYC.

fuck. yes.

I'm guessing in a state like New York where the permits are already carry permits albeit with restrictions...this means those restrictions are basically gone???

I don't have restricted carry permit but many people I know do.

In a state like New Jersey where they don't even issue carry permits I'm assuming people will have to reapply for a carry permit but they cannot be denied?

Not surprised at all and fully expected it. They can make the "objective" licensing rules as onerous (and maybe expensive) as possible. Also create so many "no carry" zones that you are navigating a minefield if you travel anywhere with a firearm. Probably make it a felony to violate any of those zones too such that you lose your rights for life.

I turned 60 today and I seriously doubt I will see a resolution in my lifetime.

The Commie Slut is just a mumbling fool, Strict Scrutiny & Rejecting the two step approach bullshit really screwed up all the commie infringements, Justice Thomas really came through here. It seems like this ruling killed UnSafe also!

"Nothing in the Second Amendment’s text draws a home/public distinction with respect to the right to keep and bear arms, and the definition of “bear” naturally encompasses public carry. Moreover, the Second Amendment guarantees an “individual right to possess and carry weapons in case of confrontation,” id., at 592, and confrontation can surely take place outside the home" -Thomas

Wow...there goes Hochuls idea of making everywhere a restricted place...

But expanding the category of

“sensitive places” simply to all places of public congregation

that are not isolated from law enforcement defines the cat-

egory of “sensitive places” far too broadly. Respondents’ ar-
gument would in effect exempt cities from the Second
Amendment and would eviscerate the general right to pub-
licly carry arms for self-defense that we discuss in detail
below. See Part III–B, infra. Put simply, there is no his-
torical basis for New York to effectively declare the island
of Manhattan a “sensitive place” simply because it is
crowded and protected generally by the New York City Po-
lice Department.

No, I do not think this ruling makes restricted permits now unrestricted, or allows people with upstate permits to carry in NYC. Fee free to challenge that as we need to confirm and challenge if it doesn’t.  
You will still be required to jump through the hoops, take additional training, submit your references, etc.  it just meant that they can’t deny you based on your stated purpose for wanting to carry concealed.

Eta: for some upstate counties this ruling has no effect.

More importantly is there severability in Sullivan?


What does severability mean in law?

A contract provision that keeps the remaining portions of the contract in force should a court declare one or more of its provisions unconstitutional, void, or unenforceable.


https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/severability_clause

From the opinion on (pdf) page 8


In 1911, New York’s “Sullivan Law” expanded the State’s criminal prohibition to the
possession of all handguns
—concealed or otherwise—without a government-issued license. See 1911 N. Y. Laws ch.
195, §1, p. 443. New York later amended the Sullivan Law
to clarify the licensing standard
: Magistrates could “issue
to [a] person a license to have and carry concealed a pistol
or revolver without regard to employment or place of possessing such weapon” only if that person proved “good
moral character” and “proper cause.” 1913 N. Y. Laws ch.
608, §1, p. 1629.

Looks like you'll still need a permit to buy and possess a pistol.  I think carry permits will be shall issue.  Permit applications will be accepted in person only Wednesdays between 5 and 5:15 am at the new pistol permit office in Champlain on the Canadian border.  It will require 5 visits to the Champlain office.  1 to pick up an application, 1 to drop it off, 1 to be fingerprinted, 1 for your interview and lastly to pick up your permit.  The permit will expire annually and will need to be renewed with the above 5 visits to the permit office.

But a restricted permit is simply a full carry permit that was (NOW) unconstitutionally restricted.

So I do think NY is special in this case...it's not like NJ who issues premise only permits. In NJ they will have to re-apply for a carry permit.

NYers already have a carry permit.

You underestimate the cleverness of politicians. Besides, a few years ago a California politician told a colleague, who was wavering on voting for a bill that he thought was blatantly unconstitutional, to "vote for it and let the courts sort it out".

That is the modus operandi these days. Since there is absolutely no penalty against legislatures or legislators who willfully write unconstitutional laws, it is a simple matter to keep passing them and get the benefit of them being in force for many years until some court strikes them down. How many times has a court put a hold on a gun control law pending resolution in the courts? I cannot recall any yet when an existing gun control law is overturned by a lower court, the ruling is immediately suspended pending appeal.

Then there is always the odd chance they are upheld in which case the joke is on the citizens.

My guess is that Honchul will call a special session to address the "emergency" created by the Supreme Court ruling today.  Even if they do make the pistol permit section of the Penal Law "shall issue" I expect that a separate permit application will be required for New York City that while ostensibly "shall issue" will be so onerous to comply with that no one will actually be issued a permit setting the stage for another Supreme Court challenge that will take years and years to percolate through the Federal Court system.  I am 64 years old and do not expect to see a NYC permit in my lifetime.  Hopefully I am wrong but I do not expect those criminals in Albany to roll over just because the Supreme Court says so.  Look at what they have done with sanctuary cities and non citizen voting in violation of Federal Law.

No, not necessarily.  You "applied for" a permit with restrictions, and that is what you got.  There is nothing technically wrong with them saying if you want Target/Hunting, the process stays the same, if you want Full Carry, there is now a legitimate pathway, but you have to go to several expensive classes, including live fire, and get other "reasonable things."  All this does is prevent them from saying "self defense is not proper cause to issue a full carry."  That said, the restrictions themselves rely on the concept of proper cause for this or that, ie. you've shown proper cause for target, proper cause for hunting/hiking/sports, so that is the permit you get - if the concept of proper cause is fully defunct, perhaps we just revert to the penal law that says "to have and to carry concealed" - unclear how the state will view it and try to enforce it and ultimately you don't want to be in a position where they are claiming that your license is invalid for some reason, even if it's contrary to the ruling.

Nothing, Target/Hunting/Sportsman will still probably be available.  Full carry will have additional requirements, unless they give in and just upgrade everyone.

I humbly disagree with the not unrestricted part...

- shall issue because the SC affirms the right of an individual to bear arms, the restrictions curtailed bearing arms for self defense which is why the two parties backed by NYSRPA were fighting.  

The decision makes the restrictions void.


Upstate permits in NYC......that is a good question.   Not sure that is addressed by this ruling.  Of couse Litigious James would say it does not.

Local media here in NYC is featuring many politicians predicting blood running in the streets (they were already a few weeks ago when it became apparent they would lose). Seems that people will be able to carry in the subways. IIRC, there are people already carrying in the subway, as noted during oral arguments, but they are the ones causing the problems now. Not legal people.

It was also brought up by one of the analysts that there is an AWB case in Maryland now pending in light of this ruling. Maryland's AWB may be struck down under this new guidance in which case New York's SAFE Act will probably be up for challenge pretty quickly since it is definitely a violation of Strict Scrutiny.

Of course I remember when Heller was released in 2008 and all the predictions then of gun laws being struck down and, again, blood running in the streets. Fast forward 12 years and we have more draconian restrictions and bans then we did back then. The appellate courts may just use the new "One Step" rule to continue upholding unconstitutional laws and dare SCOTUS to strike them down (exactly what is the penalty for them doing that?). SCOTUS only takes a handful of cases every year and may not be up to such an increased workload.

I would hazard that most county judges would accept requests for removal of the restrictions and grant the unrestricted if you applied right now.  They do not need more guidance than the SC ruling.  If you wait then you get the chance of dealing with whatever hurdles and the NYC cabal create.

If you have a restricted permit I would apply immediately to remove them.

No, they can still issue permits and restrict them to certain people (non-criminals, non-mentally defectives, etc.), the requirement is just that your average non-criminal person must get a full carry at the end of their process.  That process could require live fire training, legal education and a variety of other things.  They also don't really opine on non-residents, but presumably you have a right everywhere, so as a US citizen can't really be denied a permit on one state just because you don't live there...this will all require follow-up cases as NY and others desperately try to block this.
