Fantastic news. So soon the U.S. will be 26+ "Constitutional Carry" and the rest "Shall-Issue". But I agree that the 7 states will do all they can to make "shall issue" as burdensome for gun owners as they legally can. But even burdensome "shall issue" is a huge step above the "no issue unless you're politically connected" that takes place in HI, populous counties in CA, NJ & some counties in NY. I think NYC will have the biggest meltdown. lol
In reality, these 7 states will enact laws worse than Illinois or D.C. Those laws were both rooted in compromise and a plan by the states to not go to SCOTUS after appellate courts ruled against them, because they feared something like this. The 7 states likely will only issue to residents, will have no reciprocity, and will have large training requirements and fees. But still, it's a bombshell!
