New York is holding all the regret in that case. They could have bailed early on but really thought they had it.

It was too late when they offered the permit to the defendant.

Now it goes to SCOTUS and while I wouldn’t make bets, it sure does seem like HI, CT, MA, CA are going to lose may-issue and will have to issue permits to legally able people according to thing about “bearing” those arms.

Historically SCOUTS waits for states to diverge in law (which they very much have here) and then smacks whosoever on the wrong side of history. Seems like 4/5ths of states are happy with some form of "own and carry what you want in private get a license to do it in public". I suspect any decision will require the outlier states to make significant movement toward that standard.

Ultimately, if these states don't like the second amendment they should just amend it.
