    Notwithstanding the statistical dance over county population averages nationwide vs population of counties where majority of population live , etc , Camo does indirectly lead to a good question about trends of Permit issuance / population .

    Needing to get out the door , I'll simplify , and skimp on attributions for now . Dang , I really need to leave now , I' ll come back to this later today .

    If Roberts joins the dissent in NYSRPA II, then we would all need to rush out and buy some fancy BBQ guns for the 4th of July.

    Yes. WWH makes me think Roberts has lost (control of?) the conservatives. WWH raises the odds hes in the minority in Dobbs and NYSRPA II as well. If he is in the minority more often, suits me fine.

    It is not really possible that most counties issue more than 30K permits because the majority of counties in the US have less than 30K people.

    https://www.census.gov/data/datasets/time-series/demo/popest/2010s-counties-total.html

    1710 of 3142 counties (54%) have a population less than 30k

    If you are going to correct me at least get it right: Counties in free states dont need to issue permits because of constitutional carry. So yeah, i was wrong. Counties in free states dont issue 30K permits because they are free, constitutional carry.

    I didn't hear a dissenting justice in Roberts in the oral arguments.

    I think a 6-3 opinion in NYSRPA looks a whole lot more legit than a 5-4 opinion.

    With all the other higher profile cases this term, this one may go somewhat under the radar.

    I heard 6-3 at orals as well, but I could do without the sensitive place dicta Roberts and Barrett were pushing.

    Meanwhile back at projected Carry Permit numbers :

    Back in the middle years of the Shall Issue Revolution % of population having Carry Permits in different jurisdictions was looked at , and speculated upon , and a number of factors identified .

    Back then , typical Shall Issue States ran 1%-3% of overall population . Hard core gun states were up to 5% . More recently the high end has been far exceeded , but the factors effecting to low to middle range are very relevant to Maryland . Factors include ;

    Cost , time involved , hassle of acquiring Permit

    Carry laws w/o Permit

    Transport laws w/o Permit

    Existing level of gun and shooting culture .

    Maryland's W&C process ( at least initially ) will remain very onerous , a negative factor .

    Maryland is very restrictive w/o Permit , a positive .

    While Md gun community can be freverent , we are smaller porportionally than most of our neighbouring states .

    Eventually growing numbers w/o shooting or hunting background will come to Carry for pragmatic reasons , but the initial wave will primarily start out with existing shooters .

    Biggfoot Prediction -

    The initial jump from 30K to 100K will be limited the speed that MSP LD can process them . One way or another the process would have to change to gradually approach 250 K .

    If as you predict, 6-3, do you see Roberts writing a watered down or narrow ruling? Or …. Thomas… and something more reflective of what a right should be? (More expansive, and/or potentially implicating other 2a issues. Mag caps, “reasonable restrictions” on times and places)

    And yeah, months of waiting lead to lots of speculation in the mean time..

    I get Camo's overall point .

    But within the universe of the 30K-ish MD W&C , non residents are not discriminated against .

    FWIW , within 5 or so years , the number of active W&C has gone from 12K- ish to 30K- ish .

    And I suppose the inclusion of TS clearance holders into the "Assumed Risk" category had nothing to do with that...

    Well here is something to note as well. Just an FYI.

    Even though there are 21 Constitutional carry states, many still continue to issue Permits, despite the fact they are constitutional carry.

    Keep in mind some states permits are issued by the state as a whole and not by anyone at the county level.

    When looking at the number of a states issued permits, also keep in mind that there are some states that issue Non resident permits on a state level and some on a county level. So if you look at total number issued by a county or a state, be sure to subtract the number of Non-resident permits as well.

    I have a Texas resident, issued by the state. Have a washington issued by the county Sheriff. The other 9 state permits that. Have are all Non-resident and issued at state level.

    One other thing to keep in mind as well. If you take all the permits issued and add them up together. That number doesn’t give you the total number of distinctive different persons with a permit. As I am I am not the only person in the USA with 2 or more Permits. (I have 11 and more to come after NYSRPA issue their opinion, hopefully)

    See a previous post I had about permits across the nation.

    What you speak of in regards to Maryland residents getting a W&C permit maybe true.

    I have and am a certified Maryland W&C Instructor, but sadly don’t have my Maryland W&C permit.

    When NYSPRA is done, hopefully I will get mine, as I travel frequently.

    I also have 38 (as of today) Texans who will take my course and apply for a MD W&C permit after NYSPRA.

    What I predict, and I could be wrong. Is that due to the fact of no reciprocity from MD and a lot of people doing business in multiple states, or having family etc… many Non-residents will apply as well.

    Of my 38 future Students, 23 of them are getting because they travel to Maryland on business. The rest either travel for pleasure like I do, or they have family in Maryland that they visit frequently.

    So I represent at least 40 Future Non resident applications. (My 38 students, my self, and my wife.)

    He may try to get a list of sensitive places expanded but other than Barrett I don't know if the other 4 conservatives will go along (Kavanaugh seemed a definite no). And why would they?
    Sensitive places aren't at issue. They can merely say that the current no carry zones in NY are not at issue here and thus not implicated.
    The court should only be deciding this case, not the next 2 or 3 cases to come.
    Not to mention the lower courts seemed to have a lot of trouble with Heller's dicta, so they shouldn't go for a repeat here.

    Can someone interpret this (above WWH link) into plain English? Are we FUBAR’d now, or just not yet? California is apparently getting ready to do the same against guns.

    “(Bloomberg) -- California governor Gavin Newsom has called for a new California law that will effectively bar the manufacture and sale of assault rifles in the state, modeled on Texas’s victory in the U.S. Supreme Court that keeps in place state legislation banning most abortions.”

    Or this is just blowing smoke from the lunatic fringe to calm their base.

    As predicted -SB8 can be used as a model to chill other rights. But SB8 also does not work the way people think it does. This is a useful read:

    “Newsom said that his staff will be working with the Legislature and California Attorney General Rob Bonta to craft the bill to let citizens sue anyone who “manufactures, distributes, or sells an assault weapon or ghost gun kit or parts” in California. They could seek damages of at least $10,000 per violation plus costs and attorney’s fees.

    Good luck with that.”
