Actually, it's 38 states (3/4 of 50).
But let's assume, for argument's sake, that we get national concealed carry in one form or another. It won't do any good if the basic right to own suitable handguns is taken away. So this is, and always will be, a multifront struggle. We are engaged in a game of whack-a-mole with the antis.
My bad ill go back and correct, i though it was 39. (corrected post, thanks!)
Sadly they wont, because of many reasons but our Supreme court could benefit the nation if they would juat accept a few casses and finally make a ruling a decesion one way or the other good or bad on several gun related issues.
We all thought thinga would get better when Trump appointed what we though were two conservative judges to the bench.
However, they have refused to hear any gun related cases since 2010 (i think)
The latest case with NYC, didnt even get a decsion because it was rulled moot!
Which just shows a state or city could get sued, but if they chanfe the law. They can get it dismissed as moot! Then go back and try it a different way!
As far as NY goes... It maybe changing. Since March 2020 the number of application to own a handgun in the home for NYC has increased over 900% from the same time frame from the previous year. 97% of those are first time gun buyers, and claimed to be liberal Democrats. Even CHL's have increased in numbers too.
Now will it make a difference on Elections? we hope it will. But we dont know yet. What we do know is that at least some anti-gunners are changing their views on guns. Thats always a good sign.
But you and everyone else is correct cynical or not. Any form of national carry wont likely pass anytime soon.
Ar least not until it becomes a big enough issue for the republicans to push.
