Now to replicate that in Maryland.
Now lets all stand up, click our heals and say together, "There's no place like Maryland".
I'm now feeling a little sick to my stomach.

It wouldn't surprise me if we aren't one of the last to admit self defense is THE reason for CCW.
Is CA smart enough to fall on their sword and pass a crappy version of shall-issue to moot Peruta if cert is granted?
There have been a few that got denied at the board level, and had to appeal to the circuit court, and had their denial overturned. The problem is most of the board reviews come from one person, the sheriff of Cook County, and he basically files an objection to a application because their has been a contact card filled out on them.
So to make a reference closer to home for us here :
It sounds as if Cook Co Illinois in practice is similar to City of Philadelphia in practice. State law calls for Shall Issue, but large jurisdiction makes excessive overuse of. " Good Moral Character " language .
Biggfoot44, you got it. Cook County antigun sheriff didn't get his way when they passed the carry law, so he makes it hard on as many people as he can, to prevent people from getting carry licenses.

Not just for a cert grant. But if they lose, then 1 of 2 things has to happen-either CA has to change the law or the local sheriffs simply won't be able to deny anyone based on good cause. The original lawsuit targeted the sheriff, who basically has handed everything over to the state in this case. Not sure who SCOTUS would necessarily target either.
