Michael McGovern should get his permit now, the thing is that it is not a carry permit, it is a permit to own a handgun. There is some good information on that case with some commentary in the comments section apparently by Mr. McGovern here: http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/2014/04/28/new-jersey-appellate-court-on-handgun-licenses/ I pray the Drake case is accepted, my theory based on nothing, is that some justices on the court want to take Drake but they are searching for a majority in support before they take it. Thus if they choose not to grant cert then I believe that that is an indication that there aren't five justices who would likely support the right to carry outside the home.
