Based on a quick overview, this simply strikes down the "don't issue concealed carry license without a shown need for it," laws in a handful of states. It doesn't mean states can't still require concealed carry permits, correct? This doesn't give blanket constitutional carry to everyone in the country.

quote:Correct. New York is the worst. You needed to show you required a gun for a “special need” to own one at all. Even in New York having one in your house requires a license. That is still fine. The problem was the “special needs” clause of the law. No one should have to show they need a gun for a special purpose liking hunting or general protection (which is why the state was sued in the first place).

That's correct. What SCOTUS has essentially said is restrictions aren't unconstitutional if they are permissable with regards to a permit. Shall issue states are permissable as it doesn't require the person to show a "need" that is arbitrary to whoever is approving them. It doesn't mean those may issue states can charge high fees either which may be something the court addresses in the future.
IMHO this ruling opens the door up to quite a few suits regarding the process to own and aquire firearms. DC and NYC have perhaps the most restricted process requiring court appearances, hundred of dollars in fees and can stretch out to nearly a year to buy a gun. Those laws are definitely opposed to this ruling.
