as other states have the "may issue" provisions.

These "good reason" requirements are out-right declared "unconstitutional".

Interesting, along with the review of Maryland's AWB, where the court was compelled "to conclude that the burden is substantial and strict scrutiny is the applicable standard of review for Plaintiffs’ Second Amendment claim".

Compared to New York Safe Act review, where the Court of Appeals came to "conclude that intermediate, rather than strict, scrutiny is appropriate".
