This one has a little more visibility than that, Rick. I'm by no means saying "it's over" if they rule in that manner (and I really don't think it will be definitive anyway). Cities will continue to harrass lawful owners; I'm relatively sure of that. On what level is anyone's guess, but I'm sure they will at some level.

Seattle is a great, and recent example of this mentality. Their illustrious mayor banned the carry of all handguns on all city property. By "executive decision", no less. He used a highly publicized shooting by a CCW holder as his justification. What he could not get through his council, through the county council, or through the state, he enacted by decree. "It's good to be King..."

Anyway, Washington has a pre-emption law. No local jurisdiction can pass more restrictive gun law than the state. What he has done is clearly illegal. He does not care. It will take a lengthy and expensive legal action to "undo" his decree. I can see jurisdictions accross the country taking the same approach with the SCOTUS decision, assuming it goes our way in the first place.
