    It is the second one 100%. The ideal default for these states, and probably most people on Lemmy is “no non-professional should be empowered to carry a loaded gun, period.” Since that became untenable after the Bruen decision, they came up with this play to run interference. They’re probably hoping for a reversal at the Supreme Court in the long term so they can go back to denying applications and likely scrapping ones they issued.
