Unfortunately with just a couple seat changes, there can be a very well written opinion that goes the other way. I think Scalia does a great job in arguing against however, I know there is strong support in the country for interpreting it in line with the dissent.

Re: Is requiring a permit to carry constitutional?
This doesn't really address the specific issue of the constitutionality of licensing but it does get deep into constitutional interpretation of the 2nd amendment. If you have the time and desire, this is the assenting opinion of the Heller case written by Scalia. It's very educational to read through it.
