I can share my experience with the shenanigans that brought this case to SCOTUS. In 1985, when stationed at Griffiss AFB in NY State I applied for a NY State Pistol Permit. After a long and painful process requiring fingerprinting, three (3) character references that were required to have their reference forms NOTARIZED and mailed in, and an EXTENDED Background Investigation it was approved. However, the judge issuing the permit marked "TARGET" on the top of the permit (The attached picture I circled it in yellow) which meant "no concealed carry for you"!! I could keep my handgun in my premises and could only take it to a firing range or a competition. I questioned "why" and was told that if I needed to carry concealed I had to petition the court and "show proper cause" -- and guess what? According to the judge that issued my permit --"Self Defense" or "Personal Protection" was NOT "Proper Cause".
It's this kind of arbitrary and capricious decision making that the SCOTUS struck down today. Way to go Justice Thomas!

Sure is going to be interesting to see how New York responds to the ruling. I can’t believe they will just say “OK” we will now issue. They will no doubt come up with some other administrative bullshit to keep the process at a snails pace, and make it administratively very expensive.

Oh yeah--they will layer on plenty of hassles and fight this decision. I'd guess they will make it as difficult for commercial pilots to have a gun on the flight deck of an aircraft. But the Court has spoken -- majority opinion written by Justice Thomas and its a good one
The constitutional right to bear arms in public for self-defense is
not “a second-class right, subject to an entirely different body of rules
than the other Bill of Rights guarantees.” McDonald, 561 U. S., at 780
(plurality opinion). The exercise of other constitutional rights does not
require individuals to demonstrate to government officers some special
need. The Second Amendment right to carry arms in public for selfdefense is no different. New York’s proper-cause requirement violates
the Fourteenth Amendment by preventing law-abiding citizens with
ordinary self-defense needs from exercising their right to keep and
bear arms in public. Pp. 62–63
