Boondoggle 6 Posted June 23, 2022 41 minutes ago, NJRulz said: The Thomas opinion indicates that it is "settled" that places like polling places and courthouses "were 'sensitive places' where arms carrying could be prohibited consistent with the Second Amendment." And courts can analogize to simliar sensitive places, he adds. On the other hand, Thomas adds, "expanding the category of 'sensitive places' simply to all places of public congregation that are not isolated from law enforcement defines the category of 'sensitive places" far too broadly." This was the part that I always found nonsensical. There are literally dozens of states that rule the same places "off limits" such as courthouses, police stations, schools, polling places, etc. An exhaustive expansion of "sensitive places" is just as unconstitutional as "justifiable need." 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Krdshrk 3,877 Posted June 23, 2022 Going forward, therefore, the 43 States that employ objective shall-issue licensing regimes for carrying handguns for self-defense may continue to do so. Likewise, the 6 States including New York potentially affected by today’s decision may continue to require licenses for carrying handguns for self-defense so long as those States employ objective licensing requirements like those used by the 43 shall-issue States. Bye Bye Justifiable need. 4 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr.Stu 1,916 Posted June 23, 2022 6 minutes ago, samiam said: I'm considering submitting my application. I do have some concerns about that will be considered adequate training for us non-LEOs. I do not have a local PD where I live, so I wil be dealing with NJSP. That could turn out to be good, bad, or some of each 3 minutes ago, samiam said: Utah, Virginia, and Florida all initially accepted my NRA course from 7 or 8 years ago. Utah, at least, has since upgraded their training requirements, but I was grandfatheres in for renewals. I'm pretty sure that is not/wil not be accepted in NJ no matter what the reaction to Nruen turns out to be. The statutes and Admin Code tell you what you need. I will be scrutinizing them and getting my app in ASAP. Making assumptions based on what other States require is folly. 3 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DirtyDigz 1,811 Posted June 23, 2022 3 minutes ago, samiam said: Murphy will surely at least explore dicking around with an over-broad definition of "sensitive places" to try to make any carry as inconvenient as possible. How about "prohibited within 500 ft of all rest stops and toll plazas on any NJ state highway" Quote "expanding the category of 'sensitive places' simply to all places of public congregation that are not isolated from law enforcement defines the category of 'sensitive places" far too broadly." Quote That said, because any permitting scheme can be put toward abusive ends, we do not rule out constitutional challenges to shall-issue regimes where, for example, lengthy wait times in processing license applications or exorbitant fees deny ordinary citizens their right to public carry. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raz-0 1,259 Posted June 23, 2022 What I can't tell is if we got strict scrutiny or some new tier of scrutiny they re trying to make happen. It very clearly states strict scrutiny is a no-no. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bennj 215 Posted June 23, 2022 I too stand humbled before you. Not only did I think they would punt, but that if a ruling was issued against NYC it would not be nearly as broad as what I've read so far (there's a lot to digest). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mrs. Peel 7,157 Posted June 23, 2022 I offer not only a well-deserved Thank You to Justice Thomas for penning this freedom-loving and long overdue opinion, but to the other justices who agreed with it, AND (though he certainly irks the hell out of me at times, lol) I think some due credit needs to go to former President Trump as well. His many conservative appointments to SCOTUS and other Federal courts, as it turns out, are really providing a bulwark against the encroaching attacks on Constitutional rights that we've been seeing as of late. 2 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Krdshrk 3,877 Posted June 23, 2022 Quote The constitutional right to bear arms in public for self defense is not “a second-class right, subject to an entirely different body of rules than the other Bill of Rights guarantees.” McDonald, 561 U. S., at 780 (plurality opinion). We know of no other constitutional right that an individual may exercise only after demonstrating to government officers some special need. That is not how the First Amendment works when it comes to unpopular speech or the free exercise of religion. It is not how the Sixth Amendment works when it comes to a defendant’s right to confront the witnesses against him. And it is not how the Second Amendment works when it comes to public carry for self defense. New York’s proper-cause requirement violates the Fourteenth Amendment in that it prevents law-abiding citizens with ordinary self-defense needs from exercising their right to keep and bear arms. We therefore reverse the judgment of the Court of Appeals and remand the case for further proceedings consistent with this opinion. It is so ordered. 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After having been told, "don't even bother" when asking for a carry permit application years ago, it will be interesting to actually be able to go through this process.
