No. It only means that states must change from "may issue" to "must issue" for people applying for permits. May issue used to mean "no issue" because states required you prove a "need" for the permit instead of a right. That is what was ruled on. You do not require a need to exercise your constitutional rights

Having to get a permit sure as hell infringes on a constitutional and god given right.
I agree. However, the courts have held that regulating firearms is not unconstitutional. I always ask anti-2a when they talk about "common sense gun control" if they also support "common sense free speech control"? Should you need a permit to talk in public. Or "common sense religion control" should you need a permit to go to church or join a club?
Watch states that were previously 'may issue' make it prohibitively expensive to get the permit.
The New York governor already started talking about prohibiting weapons in "public" places. Subways, arenas, etc.. and she spoke about private property owners prohibiting weapons. This means they will pressure private businesses to ban guns. You will have the right to a carry permit, bit you still won't be able to take it anywhere.
Isn't there case law already closing this loophole? I mean I'm sure places like CA would manage to charge 200-300 for the application (that's what it costs to register a car in CA btw), which still sucks, but it's not going to be a million or something.
They can't take years and years to "process" your application either. There has to be an account of where the times is being spent.
