9. It's pretty clear from the SCOTUS decision

Any state, county, or city *must* have an explicit and legitimate reason to deny any particular individual a license.

"We don't issue without a good reason" doesn't work anymore.

No more 'only ex-cops and buddies of the sheriff, and celebs'.

If you aren't a felon, and there is no restraining order on you, any prohibition - or unreasonable cost- is unconstitutional.

The states and cities can try to get around this, but all they are going to do is waste taxpayer's money.


You can't charge someone to exercise a Constitutional right. Making it harder to get a permit than it is to vote is going to result in a losing lawsuit, every time.
