I have been following the news and the thread here regarding DC v Heller. Interesting case, to say the least.
What I have been wondering is what will be the real world implications of whatever decision is reached.
Let's say, just for arguments sake, that the SCOTUS rules pro "individual right" 2A. Sure, I know that ruling that simple is not likely. But let's just say it is that simple or clear.
What will this mean for someone like myself in downstate NY (not NYC). The state/county already issued me a permit, but not full carry. Only target/sportsman. Technically, they are already "recognizing my individual right" to own a handgun. NYS is one of the most restrictive states for handgun laws, and I know if is better in most other states (even in many other counties in my own state).
How would/could a favorable SCOTUS decision change this for the better?
