Over at The Reload, Jake Fogleman notes that:

I think that this decision is defensible on Second Amendment grounds, under Bruen. There were, indeed, a bunch of time and place restrictions at the time of the founding — including, for example, at polling places. Whether such laws are a good idea is a separate question (because I don’t think they do any good, I’m usually of the view that they are not), but, as a constitutional matter, there may be enough historical analogues to sustain a challenge under the Bill of Rights.
