What the recent SCOTUS ruling means, and what it does not.

Since the NYSRPA vs. Bruen ruling was published, I’ve been seeing a lot of confusion and questions in various gun subs about what it means. I realize that for the majority of this sub, I am preaching to the choir. Most folks here do understand. But there seems to be a lot of folks who don’t.What this ruling did was declare the requirement that an permit applicant must show “good cause” to get one unconstitutional. This basically strikes down may-issue laws. NY, NJ, CA, MA, MD, and HI (I may be forgetting one or two) will now be forced to become shall-issue with their permit systems. As long as you pass required background checks, they HAVE to issue the license. They can no longer deny you for arbitrary reasons.What this ruling does NOT do:It does NOT force all states to become Constitutional Carry. It only forces may-issue states to become shall-issue. In order for those states to become CC, they will either have to pass legislation at the state level, or have SCOTUS force them into it through another case.It does NOT create National concealed carry reciprocity. Your Pennsylvania license still isn’t valid in NJ or NY. Your Washington State or Nevada license still isn’t valid in CA. It simply means that residents of those formally may-issue states can now get a permit as long as they qualify (not a felon, not declared mentally ill by the courts, etc.).Again, I know most of you here understand this. But I’m seeing a LOT of people asking these things and not understanding what they can and can’t do. I just don’t want good, well-intentioned people getting themselves into legal trouble because they don’t know the law. via /r/CCW https://ift.tt/UPRENhc
