Only logical conclusion. The SCOTUS has ruled a few times that the police have no duty/obligation to protect anybody, this leaves the safety/security up to the individual... I do not know of any reasonable person who wants to be responsible for their own safety/security that would even consider doing so unarmed.

What effect if any will this have on the gun control bill in the senate today?

Not much, unless it's by "Momentum." The Gun Control bill doesn't say that much (not yet, anyway) about where you can carry and in what manner. Like I said, not at present. But this bill, even if passed by the Senate must still get through the House, and they could add a ton of stuff.

Anyway, as stated previously, I know that states like NY and the PRNJ will find ways around it. I'd wager that PRNJ will, if need be, totally ignore the ruling. "So Sue us" will be the mantra. For which they know how to tie up a lawsuit like that for decades. Now if, perhaps, there could be some criminal liability for failure to honor the ruling, that might get their attention.

This. Authorities should face consequences for violating our rights just like we face consequences for violating their laws.

I think with SCOTUS saying there's now a higher bar to be met before restricting 2A rights may come into play with Red Flag laws. It may make it easier to challenge them in court.

It's a step to more honesty in the permit process. NY had "...show good cause.." In the law, making it discretionary, ripe for corruption. The criminal background checks are still in place, and it would have to be "shall issue" though I'm sure the bureaucracy can think of hurdles.

The crook governor there is hysterical. The so called mayor of NYC says "wild west," interestingly the same words used when Florida was establishing the shall issue carry law. "Wild West" Indeed. I believe he also made remarks about bullets flying around. He needs to look at some of the police shootings: 45 shots, 9 hits on some junkie trapped in a stairwell.

Not so fast!

They're already drafting "local rules" to ban concealed carrying within 1000' of "sensitive areas" within NYC, e.g. transit, schools, churches, hospitals, etc. which effectively, due to its' layout, will make all of the city a "gun free zone". They're also drafting legislation to allow businesses and private property owners to ban concealed carry. #Shitbags
