Good hunting Mr. Ouimet!
NRA Takes Carry Case to SCOTUS
The case, NYSRPA v. Corlett, challenges New York's requirement for applicants to demonstrate "proper cause" to carry a firearm. While New York routinely employs this arbitrary standard to deny carry permits, the NRA argues that this right should be available to "all 'the people'" instead of a "subset of the people that can distinguish themselves from their fellow Americans” by showing proper cause.

I don't think that "Proper Cause" is defined in New York law. And there lies the problem. You have to ask a judge for the license to carry, and each judge an interpret proper cause any way they want to. It is the epitome of judicial discrimination and injustice.

Getting more support.
“Sixteen Republican attorneys general are supporting the National Rifle Association in its lawsuit against New York Attorney General Letitia James, who earlier this year filed a case seeking to dissolve the organization because of alleged self-dealing by the organization’s leadership.”
