The SCOTUS Exposes the Lying, Lawless Left

The Left’s response to the Supreme Court’s 6-3 ruling in New York Rifle Association v. Bruen to strike down an unconstitutional New York gun law that restricted concealed carry was entirely predictable. The Left hates the Constitution, especially the 2nd Amendment, and nothing makes them angrier than the Supreme Court rebuking their lawlessness and upholding the unalienable right of the law-abiding American citizen to exercise his or her 2nd Amendment right.
In this case it was a New York law from 1911 that effectively prevented New York residents from acquiring a concealed carry license. The state law required the licensee to "demonstrate a special need for self-protection distinguishable

Maryland has been a state where getting a cc permit was almost impossible.
Slap those liberal democrats around with a dose of Constitutional freedom.

Clarence Thomas is a hero. He did his job under this pressure of hatefulness for decades and that endurance is how he was there to cast the final saving vote for the unborn. I can't think of another case of such heroic patience with such horrible horribe people paying off in lives and misery averted. his enemies are the worst people on Earth, Planned Parenthood and the US left and its pedophiles and its contempt for the poor. YAY Thomas!

Yesterday I heard a local car talk show host claim the SCOTUS decision was unconstitutional because Dodge City banned guns in the 1800s. He is a history freak but says CRT is no big deal. And, he claims to be apolitical because he doesn't vote. You truly can't fix stupid.

Excellent commentary.
I am fairly sure that each of the seven remaining states which have these unconstitutional 'may issue' laws for concealed carry will have to be adjudicated individually. None of them are likely to say "Oh, now we see that our concealed carry law is unconstitutional, we will change it."
Of these seven states, only Delaware (somehow that makes me grin) actually issues permits in a "may issue" state as if they were a "shall issue" state, according to online CCW rights sources. Since they are already following the Constitution, I suppose it is possible that Delaware may proactively comply.
I would bet serious money that the remaining six states, California, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maryland, New Jersey and Massachusetts will have to be dragged, kicking and screaming, to follow the Constitution.
They may delay a bit, but they will be forced to comply, just like leftist, Dem controlled Illinois was in 2013.
Next up - getting all states to recognize all other states' concealed carry permits.

Re #3. Yes, a few of the "extremely violent" old west towns did ban the carrying of guns in town. And it was just as unconstitutional then, but these laws only lasted a few years, and were never adjudicated.
And - their "shockingly high" crime rates were far lower than modern Democrat run cities like Chicago, LA, NYC, Baltimore, etc.
And never lose sight that the US murder rate ranks 137th out of the 196 countries on the planet. We ARE NOT a particularly violent country, we don't come near reaching the middle of the pack. And if you ignore the homicides by a certain 13% violent minority group, we have approximately the same murder rate as Canada, UK or other European countries.

Correct #1. I enquired about getting a cc permit, and the questions started immediately. Why do you need it? Where do you travel where one might need to carry? Does your job require you the need for a cc permit? Meanwhile while I was getting the third degree, a guy walks in, asks for a cc permit application, and states he former military, and the person says, " You won't have a problem, they'll approve your application without question". I'm standing there saying "What the F?" My personal safety isn't as important as his just because he was in the military?

Re #1 and #6, until someone files a lawsuit, they will almost certainly ignore the fact that their laws are unconstitutional. Perhaps you could be "the one", but I would suggest you contact a legal foundation that can provide the lawyers to embark on this worthy mission. It will, unfortunately, cost a lot of money to force your state to comply with the clear ruling of the Supreme Court.
It MIGHT take as little as a letter from an attorney to the state AG pointing out that "my client has attempted to obtain a concealed carry permit, and was subjected to unconstitutional restrictions, based on the recent ruling of the Supreme Court. Does the state plan on complying willfully with this ruling, or will it be necessary to file a lawsuit in federal court for my client to obtain his clear Constitutional rights?" or similar, more lawyerly words to that same general effect.
Heck, they MIGHT fold when challenged and not have to go to federal court.....but I tend to doubt it.
