This sort of judicial schizophrenia is not uncommon when the true meaning of the law collides with the desires of activist judges.

CA has mopped themselves into a box. Up until 2012, they allowed unloaded open carry, but their shall-issue scheme for ccw is issued by local jurisdictions at the descretion of sheriff’s and police chiefs. In much of CA, it is hard to impossible to get a ccw. So, in 2012 after banning most unloaded open carry and very restrictive ccw, they left much of the state in a position where NO bearing of arms is possible.

"they left much of the state in a position where NO bearing of arms is possible."

Which is exactly what they want. And they are not about to let a little thing like an unfavorable judicial decision interfere with their agenda. Look at what the Communists running Washington DC, Chicago, et al have done with the Heller and McDonald decisions.

Pre-Heller DC, it was impossible to get a handgun. Post-Heller, it is now only nearly impossible.

I have friends in MA. While it is “may issue” by law, outside the major cities it is “shall issue” by practice. However, it is up to the local Issuing Authority, I.e. Chief of Police, etc. to decide if you get a permit that let’s you carry and home and range only, or anywhere allowed by law. Some towns will on,y issue the limited permit.

The 9th Circuit got another one right on the Second Amendment.

They ruled that the Second Amendment is an individual right, not a collective right some time ago. Went right back to Anglo-Saxon Law. A free man is an armed man. An unarmed man is a subject.

A permit is issued by the county or city you live or own a business in, but it’s good for whole state. Up until now it’s been up to the local government to issue or not as the choose.

That ‘s way too much discretion. While I personally believe that unrestricted carry without a tax is the only Proper Standard, I think permits (freely issued) are tolerable. For now. MA needs to get with the program.

While on the face of it the ruling appears to be a victory, and certainly it is.

It is also true that three people have "decided" what is the true meaning of a right we already have by virtue of sucking air.

This sets a precedent, that three people can make that decision.

Depending on three people to protect basic rights enumerated in the Constitution is a dangerous game.

Here in lies the problem with "Good Cause". It by definition fails because it pins down the fact that goodness and causes are not decisions to be in government hands. Those are individual and common community decisions based in morality.

If you are without morals, your causes are by default NOT GOOD. The good cause argument for gun posession accidently spills into everything else. Limiting progressive amoral goals because their good is politicaly motivated will be the result of these "Good Cause" arguments.

And we all know progressives and liberals reboot their record every morning based on issued talking points. Up is down, green is red, understanding is confusion, enemies are allies, allies are enemies, and Oracle billionares build private golf courses to play with your trangender buddies out of the public's eye but deep in their wallet.

Yup. New Jersey is one of them.
