I wonder if they accept MA ltc? Did I miss it?

Nice outcome for the 2A in Puerto Rico.

Am I right to infer that this now sets precedent so that all the US territories may get Constitutional Carry now with a little more legal action by SAF?

I dunno. IANAL, but l believe that this has to be won in a federal court of some sort to set precedent. This was won in a Commonwealth of PR court.

Agreed, local decision only affecting PR. Sets no precedence.

We can expect this to get overturned (as was the case in Maryland for shall-issue), or alternatively, have PR put another licensing system in place that limits access to those of privilege, power and influence.

Presently, PR does not reciprocate with any state. Interestingly, they also do not offer non-resident licenses. I own a home there so simply obtained a resident permit. The process definitely involves some bureaucracy but from date of application to receipt of permit was roughly 40 days.
