I am very confident that we gun owners will win McDonald vs. Chicago and the Second Amendment will be incorporated against the states.

So, what will that mean for us? What will be our next attempt to win back some rights?

In the other thread I posited that "May Issue" CCW laws may withstand court challenge. I am NOT advocating "may issue" and I don't like it but there seems to be a big difference between states like Alabama and New York, both "may issue" states but very different in practice.

IMO the court may look for a "middle ground between everybody without a felony, domestic battery or mental adjudication gets CCW and only Robert Deniro gets one.

So, should we kiss "may issue" in all it's forms and practices as DOA after McDonald, or will some forms of it survive court scrutiny?

Those of you who live in "may issue" states chime in.

Al Norris is ready to flay me but...not so fast my friend! Ken, come help me!
