not about the permit system overall, and not about the authority to deny applications arbitrarily, but ONLY if denial for "self defense" was valid. Is that right??

I see where one could get that from the cert document language I quoted, but I'd say that's not exactly correct based on a few minutes of the oral argument I heard.
Apparently the NY law requires an unusual or atypical self defense need, and give the granting officer complete discretion to determine whether that's been met.
WHETHER
THE STATE'S DENIAL OF PETITIONERS' APPLICATIONS FOR CONCEALED-CARRY LICENSES FOR SELF-DEFENSE VIOLATED THE SECOND AMENDMENT.
Emphasis added. The way I am reading this, there is the potential for review of any part of the state's denial all the way from the discretion of the issuing official to the claimed power of the state to license a claimed right.
If the State's denial violate the 2d Am., why does it violate it? The answer could be very narrow or very broad.
