The ruling is narrowly drawn to the issues in the lawsuit; for people who already are on record as possessing a firear; California CCW holders; and COE holders that possess firearms.

It is a good building block toward finding that waiting periods are an unconstitutional infringement altogether.

While the ruling is logical and correct, the state of California will likely appeal to the illogical and most often incorrect (based upon being so often overruled by the US Supreme Court) Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

As I recall, the purpose of the 10 day waiting period was to reduce suicides. But for a person who already owns a gun, the waiting period serves no purpose at all. Good ruling.

As a side note to this thread, please consider the following. Calfiornia could have gotten away with requiring a waiting period for guns before the 14th Amendment (14A) was ratified. This is because the Founding States had decided not to make the rights protected by the BoR, including 2A, applicable to the states. Again, 14A changed that.

Isn’t this the same State Atty. General who refused to support or defend capital punishment for cop killers? Now she hot for lead? Must be a change of Campaign Donorship going on.

Waiting periods slow me down.

I live in an instant gratification society and I can buy a brand new car faster than I can I buy a couple pieces if wood and some metal...
