Post Bruen 'Permit-to-Purchase' handgun requirement laws are now reaching the appellate courts and SCOTUS. None that I am aware of has been fully litigated (this case was resolved via 'joint motion for judgement', a settlement). Still, state-level permit-to-purchase (and associated waiting periods) are now being reviewed and challenged under Bruen standards and may be an indicator of how SCOTUS will decide in state-level restrictions of gun rights in coming rulings.

Massachusetts Permit to Purchase Firearms Case Ends in Favor of Plaintiff

The Second Amendment case of Morin v Lyver, granted certiorari, vacated, and remanded back to the First Circuit, has been decided in favor of the plaintiff, Alfred Morin.
In June of 2022, the Supreme Court published a clarification of how the Second Amendment should be treated by the Courts in the Bruen decision. Bruen gave clear guidance on how Heller should be applied. This was necessary because the Circuit courts had created a complicated two-step process that was used to sidestep the Heller decision. In Bruen, the court said the two-step process was one too many. The Court laid out a simple process to judge Second Amendment cases.
As a result of Bruen, four pending cases were granted certiorari, vacated, and remanded back to their circuits for rehearing using the Bruen process. Morin v Lyver was one of the four cases. It was remanded back to the First Circuit on October 3, 2022.
Morin is the second of the four cases that were granted certiorari, vacated, and remanded back to their circuits to reach a final judgment after Bruen. Young v Hawaii reached a settlement on December 15, 2022. Duncan v Bonta is still in play in the Ninth Circuit. The Association of New Jersey Rifle and Pistol Clubs, Inc. v Grewal is ongoing in the Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.
