you can own a gun in your home in NY - I don't see that this decision provides for blanket carry permits, I also don't see that it means that if someone has a carry permit in Alabama, that its automatically good in NY.
this is the correct decision - complete prohibition of lawful gun ownership violates the 2A. don't read more into it then that.
Groan.

There is a lot more to be read into. The whole "individual right" thing can have major ramifications.
I have a bit of an issue with your interpretation, but whatever.
Someday, I will win the lotto by suing the State of NY for violation of my rights.
I hope. When I get time.
(I have a VA CCW, and a home in NY. Since I am not a NY resident, I can't take my guns to my house in NY. I am also barred from applying for a NY CCW, as a non-resident. This is a violation of my rights in NY).
That wasn't the goal of the plaintiffs.
I personally know two people on Capitol Hill who have been subject to home invasions. One scared the burglar off (lost his stereo though), the other was beaten severely and was threatened with death by the two perps (one of my favorite college profs).
I also know one of the plaintiffs in this case. They simply want to be able to protect their domicile and their family from crackheads and tweakers.
