https://www.durangoherald.com/articles/what-impact-could-a-supreme-court-ruling-have-on-colorado-gun-laws/A decision expected next year by the U.S. Supreme Court on a New York state law restricting who can carry a weapon, concealed or not, in public could reshape how some states enforce concealed carry laws and permitting processes.
The case, New York State Rifle & Pistol Association Inc. v. Bruen, is a review of New York law that denies law-abiding citizens permission to carry a firearm unless they can demonstrate sufficient cause, which is determined by the state.
The New York law is restrictive compared with many other states laws on open and concealed firearm carrying, such as Colorados laws.
Cody Wisniewski, director of the Lakewood based Mountain States Legal Foundations Center to Keep and Bear Arms, served as counsel of record to the Supreme Court case.
Wisniewski said he thinks it is fairly unlikely the Supreme Court will rule in favor of New York. Even if it did, it wouldnt immediately affect Colorados laws.
(Excerpt)
The story is of local interest to me, given that I live in Colorado. My guess is that the Supremes will rule against New York, resulting in may issue states being forced to become shall issue.
Well see what happens in a half a year.

(4,131 posts)I too expect New Yorks archaic law to be struck down, but the real question is how broad (or narrow) the SCOTUS decision will be.
The New York law is so outrageously restrictive that they have no one to blame but themselves. The state legislature should have fixed this law a long time ago.
New York turned an enumerated right into a privilege available only to a select few.
On a side note, Im not a fan of so-called constitutional carry laws. I prefer must issue permitting on the condition of minimum standards being met by the applicant. My state has permitted carry and recently enacted constitutional carry, but I still have my permit and I plan to renew it before it expires.
