Is there a stretch reading of this that helps our compatriots in CA with the ridiculous roster which, essentially, affords CA resident the ability to purchase firearms generally in "uncommon" use having been obsoleted by advances in the art. Of course they still go "bang" so there's that.

I've read commentary from both NYC Mayor and transit administration officials intending to label the NYC subway as one big sensitive place. AFAIK more than half of NYC's population takes the subway daily. Denying them the ability to get around would be equivalent to saying in a rural area that you can carry so long as you don't do it in your vehicle.
EDIT: Just read another NYC city council Speaker's proposal to label any place with >10,000 people per square mile a sensitive place, in other words all of NYC, as well as any area within 1000 feet of mass transit, hospitals, parks, government buildings, schools, child care facilities, places of worship, cemeteries (LOL!), financial institutions, theaters, bars, libraries, homeless shelters, and courts.

States may proactively amend their laws via legislative process to comply with NYSRPA ruling, and the agencies that issue permits may likewise make changes to their administrative processes. Otherwise, individuals with standing will have to bring cases before the courts in those states, which will make rulings about whether the current or new laws comply with this ruling. Given the response so far, I would expect places like NY, NJ, CA, HI, MA, etc. etc. to have to be dragged kicking and screaming into compliance, and even then they will throw up whatever roadblocks they can.
I agree with the previous posters that the next fight will be about "sensitive places." I also suspect that anti-gun states' "shall issue" requirements are going to be extremely stringent. Look for arguments like a DUI conviction demonstrates a level of recklessness that precludes a person from being entrusted with a weapon, and things like that. Except that instead of being done on a case-by-case basis like it is now, it will be codified into the requirements for that particular state's permit.
All that being said, today's ruling was a huge win for us.
You are correct on DC and the list of “sensitive places”. I live just over a half hour into VA, and have a SIL in DC. When DC became shall issue, I looked into what it would take. There were multiple hoops to jump through as far as training and firearm registration, but the list of places I couldn’t carry, which included public transportation, killed any value for me.
One of the places I would WANT to carry is on the Metro.
Clearly for residents of DC having the ability to obtain a permit, even with a ton of restrictions, is better than no permit. But DC clearly took effort to make the process as unfriendly and difficult as possible.
Which is what I expect for NYC.
Got an idea for a new drinking game.
1. Everyone should raise a glass in celebration!
2. Peruse the MSM and take another drink anytime you see/hear "century old law" mentioned.
3. Double shot for "invalidating gun safety laws"
It's only Thursday.

Partners Paul Clement and Erin Murphy depart Kirkland & Ellis after it says it won’t take any more Second Amendment cases
Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.
Paul and Erin are awesome to work with. We certainly look forward to working with them in the future.
So are Krikland & Ellis afraid they’ll anger the “masses” if they take anymore pro gun cases?, unfortunately I can’t read the paywalled article.
Also, while I doubt there is a chance of a vote happening in Congress anytime #soon, I do expect to begin to see a harder push on voting to repeal or amend the second amendment over the next few years.
