Maybe you can see the above, but I have not seen a SCOTUS ruling on the degree of scrutiny as applied to gun rights. Such as you suggest will not survive strict scrutiny, should strict scrutiny apply. Who knows at this point?

In case you didn't follow it,
the passage of H.R. 2900 would moot all the current carry cases. How is that, you ask? Because since anyone could carry in any State with any carry permit, the Courts would never have to decide if the right to carry extended beyond the home. With the (now) sole exception of Illinois - and that would be remedied very quickly.
That's why I gave the scenario of a "may issue" State, legislating a "general" carry permit and a "special" carry permit. Should that be attacked in court, it would only require a rational basis review. As we all should know, almost every law passes that form of review.
H.R. 2900 does not contain the statutory exception that an out of State permit would be granted the same restrictions as the least restrictive license that a State might have. Language that is in H.R. 822, BTW.
