I just don't see how these states can argue against Wrenn vs DC. I thought once it was settled law, it was the law of the land.
It's the law of that circuit. The other states are trying to argue against it so Scotus won't step in.

The states know that it does create a split and they are really afraid that if SCOTUS does step in they will strike down their G&S Laws as well even tho the DC Circuit is a very small circuit it is still a federal circuit that got it right for a change..
Just because I'm a curious fellow:
Say SCOTUS hears the cases and rules that G&S is an unconstitutional restriction on 2A. Does that mean the laws are automatically and immediately voided, or does each state then need to be sued to get the laws reversed?
Nothing is automatic. The other states can either change their "good reason" laws voluntarily or wait to get sued and argue that their law is "different"
Each state would need to be sued to reverse.

And, obviously, Maryland would fight it all the way.

We still have long gun open carry. I know because of BGOS no one will do it. But we should!
In other words, I will most likely never see shall issue in Maryland during my life time. I absolutely hate this @&$%# state.
Assuming we win at NYSRPA, all held cases by SCOTUS return to lower courts. I'd venture to say Woollard would effectively no longer be good law. The lower courts could rule in our favor this time around.
If Scotus takes any of the carry cases and we win, then G and S will be impossible to defend in front of any court. All the may issue regimes have said their statutes are essentially the same; they won't be able to say they're now something different.
