has it been deemed "unconstitutional" to deny a handgun permit for reasons other than being a felon or having a restraining order?

There has been no such SCOTUS ruling. The public has a right not to fear being shot to death in a store or a parking lot by a randomly-encountered angry/stupid person who is exercising a newly-fabricated "right" to own and carry a handgun in public. And the states have the right -- and the responsibility -- to protect state residents from said psychos.
