I'm interested to see what NY does. Sympathetic defendant (a newly minted doctor, no less); likely interest by SAF and other groups and attorneys; and no legal mechanism for residents of other states to carry in New York, period.

They recently dropped charges against the tea party grand poobah, very likely because they don't want to test the inevitable challenges he'd have brought with regard to NY laws.

I think it's a matter of time before they end up getting more scrutiny than they would like from the federal judicial system. Pushing this case would be one way to do that.
