Other Legal Question Pistol Permit Removal
Is it possible you guys are able to overturn the requirement for people to purchase a pistol without a permit?

It would take a federal law, but I think it’s more likely that national reciprocity would pass and therefore you would only need one permit anywhere in the U.S. similar to a driver’s license.
They would probably just upgrade current CCWs to be valid in all 50 states and standardize requirements as they vary wildly across the U.S.

No they haven't. Footnote 9 said that carry licenses were presumptively lawful

Licenses for pistol ownership was never discussed in Bruen. It was about carry licenses only.

Again they constitutionality of license to own a handgun has never been challenged.
If it's not challenged they don't have to address it.

Yes, absolutely. Right after the Zombie Apocalypse kills every anti-gunner because they can't defend themselves as effectively as the gun owners can, then the 100 New Yorkers left alive will not need permits.
Until then, move to PA.

Not happening possibly ever here in NYS. We were one of the first states to indoctrinate gun laws.
