I don't think a positive ruling will make a sweeping change to all gun control laws.
I think that it would ease some of the more severe restrictions such as New York, Washington DC, Chicago, and other locations that require law abiding citizens to not only justify why they should be able to possess a firearm, but also restricts where they can carry them to such as out of town or unapproved gun ranges

I agree. I do not support many gun control measures that restrict law abiding citizens from owning/possessing with the exception of open carry. I do not support that.

I can see the merit in that position. It can have an adverse effect on public ambiance... however, accompanied by "shall-issue" licensing with due-process restrictions in place for "Prohibited Persons" there is no issue at all. Those that choose to carry just carry-concealed.

MSG (Join to see) - I open carry because I refuse to pay a tax for something that I should rightfully be able to do, I have looked hard to find what even gives states any control over citizens right to carry firearms and have not found it.
Never mind the fact that there are only a few states that grant reciprocates concealed permits, so I stick with open carry.

Many States do not allow open carry such as mine.
The courts have made a number of rulings on the 2nd amendment. Among the rulings is States have the right to set certain conditions for carrying/possessing firearms including who can be prohibited from obtaining/using.
Personally, I am against open carry. It is easier for a criminal to take a firearm from someone who they know has it on them than to take one from someone who they don't know is carrying.

Thank you my second-admentment advocate friend SGT (Join to see) for posting the ammoland.com web article 'Supreme Court 2A Case Will Make Gun Carry Legal Everywhere in US.

U.S.A. –-(AmmoLand.com)- Can the government stop you from carrying a concealed handgun in public? That’s the question before the United States Supreme Court in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen: “Whether the Second Amendment allows the government to prohibit ordinary law-abiding citizens from carrying handguns outside the home for self-defense.”
As the petitioners pointed out in their petition for writ of certiorari, “Perhaps the single most important unresolved Second Amendment question after this Court’s landmark decisions in District of Columbia v. Heller, and McDonald v. City of Chicago, is whether the Second Amendment secures the individual right to bear arms for self-defense where confrontations often occur: outside the home.” Petitioners argued that the “text, history, and tradition” of the Second Amendment do indeed secure this right.

'First and foremost, while claiming to take a "textualist" approach (at 7), the brief fails to confront the Second Amendment's clear statement that the right of "the people" to "bear" arms shall not be infringed. New York absolutely criminalizes the bearing of arms openly and issues licenses to carry arms concealed only to a selected few who the state deems to have "proper cause." Instead of bearing arms being the rule while carving out exceptions (such as for courthouses and legislatures), the brief argues that the right is not infringed because narrow exceptions are made for hunting and target practice (at 6). But that ignores that "self-defense … was the central component of the right itself," Heller, 554 U.S. at 599.'

Hopefully the Surpeme Court will rule smilar to their 2008 decision "in District of Columbia v. Heller, the Supreme Court held that the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution protects an individual’s right to keep and bear arms, unconnected with “militia” service, for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense.'
